@@BlockDollazCanada Damn', sorry, no notification... Yes, they did the exact thing a lot of musicians are talking about, for example on Trustpilot. I describe it in a post in the Community-tab of my channel. 👋
Really love the way you go into detail on these digital distribution platforms. It's so important to know what type of revenue and analytics your music is bringing in. GREAT CONTENT !
With distrokid and unitedmasters I will love using unitedmasters thinking about switching from distrokid to tunecore DISTRO definitely way behind in payments and taking my money
from the review is sound like ditto is best , but most ppl tell me they have bad ex with ditto , so im still lost ,, i want an update about tunecore . how much is for youtube content id??
Great Video! 💪🏿👏👏. Do United Masters or Ditto withhold 30% of your income for tax when paying non USA based artists? Also can I get my money paid to me in USD not local currency with them?
I am using distrokid since 1year but the big turn off is they charge 5$ every year for Content Id & 0.99 to distribute to Shazam per song. There are like so much extras.
@@Devantey Everything is fine with distrokid infact....i love it... but I just don't like it when they charge extra for youtube money & shazam. That is why I am looking forward to do content Id through other distrubuter.
Your off about the isrc and a few other things with distrokid. I do hip hop and I get content Id. I don’t pay $36 for isrc, they come when you release. The only thing that’s good about masters and ditto is the opportunities, distrokid doesn’t “steal” or do any of that I’ve used them for years and make good money. Thanks for the video I am going to try some singles and maybe an album with another 🙏🏼💕
United Masters got a 50 something dollars fee now with there united masters select, where you can submit music to the ESPN the NBA sometime even power105 its a yearly fee
Haha I loved this comment, choosing the right distribution service is something I’ve been thinking about a lot. I’m doing some research on how musicians weight the pros and cons of services tailored to help them. I’d love to buy you some lunch over a phone call to talk more about this!
I got on distrokid years ago. They were the only unlimited upload game in town. So far I have had no bad experiences for the most part. I'm not motivated to switch but I'm pretty sure if I was looking for a distributor I would be tempted to go elsewhere.
I’m switching because they keep denying my songs that are made by me there company is also ran by fucking bots so there’s no customer support it’s trash
United Masters would be my clear choice but that right of first refusal portion of their contract worries me. I’m using Distrokid right now I paid for the upgraded version. So far I haven’t had any issues.
Exactly on the fence about that trying to think whose better overall because I don’t want get locked in with United masters because of that right of refusal
@@trillionbtamillion ya they take forever to respond I just switched to tooncore but they were too anal about song covers so I switched to distro and I’ve been happy besides for double charging me
Hello ! i learned alot from you! i have a question. do you recommend to distribute songs using distrokid to youtube even if the youtube channel is already monetize? or should i upload it separately? Thanks in advance!
I been kicked off distrokid for a upload error now i really don't know who to go to next and my album comes out 8/24/20 just found out about United Masters and that's found this looking for reviews, i am so confused on who yo trust after hearing about this distrokid ,now I wanna remove all 5 albums,,IDK
i fw united masters heavy cuz i’m in college & i hate to spend money on anything especially some recurring shit (that’s just me) so united masters is my obvious choice and the app lay out is very easy to use. The upload process is super east and the release date is right at 12 everytime for me. Also the 10% is really not bad at all if we all being honest..
I ain’t mad at it. Different strokes for different folks - pause. The 10% thing... $10K for the year will cost you $1K for distribution vs. maybe $20 or $50 elsewhere.
Great video none of these other videos from other youtuber go as indepth as you did and left out a lot of vital info and your video is a lot shorter lol too. Thank you
Distrokid paid me $61 for 186k streams on Spotify it doesn't add up I reached out to them and they told me to talk to Spotify. I did that and Spotify said they released all the money to my Distributor smh. Somebody owes me money and I can't find out how to get paid
@@itsWilliamOwen I wonder how long I have to fight this and how to fight this I keep getting repeated emails basically telling me to look at my Dashboard pre written emails
I say go with United masters bc you can get a 2 weeks free trial for the select feature. I have a single called chopsticks and a album coming soon through UnitedMasters. If you don’t know what select artist is it’s basically unlimited releases and you choose your release date. But you get all that for 2 weeks for free and it cost less than distrokid even when you do start having to pay the fee. I recommend it. It is wayyyyyy better than amuse. Tbh amuse is a complete scam. It takes almost month just for songs to release. Go with UnitedMasters and keep all your money and dont worry about nobody stealing it. Make the good choice
Maaan I switched from tunecore to Dsitrokid I just got my first payout these fools paid me $61 for 186k spotify plays I got paid the same amount for 12k spotify streams on tunecore.. I think they keeping my money the shit don't add up
It’s on all platforms and u can choose which stores u want to be on also u can choose the date of ur release, just make it more than a week of the time when U do it cuz they gotta review it to make sure it’s good and it usually take like a week
That's a complaint you'll consistently find across all bargain distributors. They're not charging you for services equal to Tunecore or CD Baby. They're charging you less, for less. They might cut corners on customer service, distribute to less stores, etc. there's always an area they're coming up short to save money. It's a trade off.
I've banned from distrokid so, should I began with the old ISRC and UPC code from another Distributor Suggest me some best distributor cost to be like 20$/year pls ! Should I go with ditto or United masters ?
DITTO is a good company there interface is user friendly but if your putting up heavy streams make sure you write down your irsc code with these distribution companies because at anytime they can take your music down and all you can do is email...DO NOT USE THERE Promotional Services you will be disappointed because there is no ROI. Once you get going they will provide day to day updates charts of your streams so you can look at your growth

I've seen a lot of people complain about United Masters in terms of not having great Customer Care (on their IG page via the comments section).
That's a complaint you'll consistently find across all bargain distributors. They're not charging you for services equal to Tunecore or CD Baby. They're charging you less, for less. They might cut corners on customer service, distribute to less stores, etc. there's always an area they're coming up short to save money. It's a trade off.
They’re right but every distributor have bad taste in some people mouth

Which one is a better service between tunecore vs Ditto?

Does United masters split revenue between artists and producers? Can’t find this anywhere. I know distro kid does
I use UnitedMasters and from I see they don’t. All revenue goes to the main artist. Any deal you have with producers or features that’s all on you.
Invest in yourself or nobody will 💯i decided to go with distrokid for now gonna do some more research on United Masters
