I know i should have sorted this logn before but its confusing me
i wana make sure that i get all my royalties etc etc from radios and stuff like that
does anyone know how to get signed up and what details they need for each track to track down your royalites?
Normally ISRC codes
yeah i use this… and PRS
PRS is where you get money off the radio TV etc… MCPS is from selling stuff.
Once your a member you submit track sheets that detail all the writers their share and what they played (guitars, bass , drum machine)
after that it should all happen automatically .
It can take a while for stuff to start coming through… normal 6 months for radio… make sure you keep a list of your appearances and if they dont show up you can call them. a few times our act name wasnt linked to our tunes properly and it took a few calls to get it sorted.
If you get your tracks on TV it can be very lucrative… Radio 1 is between 20-80 quid a play depending on time of day… regional radio is around a tenner.
I got a track on This Morning as backing on their competition segment got hundreds for a weeks play… Back of the net!
I’m assuming that this post only pertains to the UK? Or is this something that is available in the US but it’s called something different. Forgive my ignorance as I haven’t looked this up. This is the first time I’m seeing this type of info and I’m well intrigued! I haven’t any full songs out, but I have written many a blurb that has been used on radio and tv and never been paid!!! I want to find out what my cut is!!! WOOHOO!!!
