Royalty Payments and Royalty Splits

FAQs

Publishing royalty splits for Music Library tracks

Because publishing rights holders have an interest in how tracks featuring their compositions can be used, anyone to whom you assign a Publishing royalty split on your track must approve of your track’s Music Library Settings and their royalty split before the track can be made available in the Music Library. These approvals can be managed through Collabhouse with our Publishing Clearances feature.

Publishing Clearance requests are sent to all publishing royalty split owners indicated by you once you’ve set and saved a track’s Music Library Settings. Those publishing royalty split owners will then be sent an email including the Music Library Settings saved with a prompt to approve the settings, their royalty splits and license their rights to Collabhouse. Publishing royalty split owners can manage the publishing requests they receive from the ‘Publishing Clearance’ tab in ‘My Collabhouse’ and a Music Maker can see the status of their clearance requests from the ‘Add to Music Library’ menu of a particular track, accessed from the ‘Releases’ section of the ‘My Collabhouse’ menu.

How do I allocate, remove or change a track royalty split?

You can allocate, remove or change track royalty splits allocated to other Collabhouse profiles at any time. You can do this on the ‘Royalty splits’ tab of the relevant release on the ‘Releases’ page in ‘My Collabhouse’.

To allocate a track royalty split to another person or company, simply add their email address and the % of royalties they are due. When the person or company you are looking to give a royalty split to is already on Collabhouse, you can select their Collabhouse profile. An invite to join Collabhouse is automatically sent, when the person or company you are looking to give a royalty split to is not yet on Collabhouse.

To change a track royalty split allocated to another Collabhouse profile go to the ‘Royalty splits’ tab of the relevant release on the ‘Releases’ page in ‘My Collabhouse’, amend the royalty split and save your amended royalty splits.

To remove a track royalty split allocated to another Collabhouse profile, go to the ‘Royalty splits’ tab of the relevant release on the ‘Releases’ page in ‘My Collabhouse’, and set the % of the royalty split you want to remove to 0% and save your amended royalty splits.

Any changes you make to publishing royalty splits for tracks available in the Music Library, will trigger a new publishing clearance request being sent out to all publishing royalty split owners for approval. Only once all publishing royalty split owners approve the new royalty splits and/ or Music Library Settings, your track will be made live again in the Music Library.
