Ive been writing songs for a long time and got piles..., now Im wondering how I go about getting them copyright? Like where can I put my songs with the words and chords and title for other people to play? I thought ASCAP was the deal....Nope! I just registered a title...thats it! Im new to it all, got no one , nothing, no go - to's.. just youtube university!! Im thankful for people like you who share all this!! How do I get my music/words/chords/ out there on the interwebs?

You’re welcome! thank you for watching
Hey I need some advice, I want to switch my distribution from distrokid cause of it's terrible support, which distributer should I choose?
I would suggest watching this full video to make an informed decision on which one is best for you
What is Songtrust? I cant even focus on the rest of the video now cause Im distracted by if Songtrust is another P.R.O? What exactly does songtrust do and the purpose ? thank you
@@cassandrahuskey8866 AFTER you complete this video, check this out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ondoxcdpm8mtgNY.htmlsi=z3HUzB6pKdG6-pBF it will help you understand the purpose of SongTrust
WAIT ?? WHAAAT? Did you just slip in ANOTHER PRO ?? Songtrust??? HUH? you just threw me way out in to left field...
No not at all. I have publishing accounts with each company.
Did you watch this one: How to Collect MAX Publishing Royalties (Publishing Administration) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ondoxcdpm8mtgNY.html
I like your style
Thank you!
I think it’s time for a fader update with a sleek new look
I would agree. That would be a nice upgrade. They win with the fader count but a more compact style would definitely give them an edge
Yo I loved this video! Thank you. Well researched, clearly communicated, honest. Big ups, you’re killing it! Just subscribed
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽

@@TarceaRenee about the payment requirement How should I do I’m from Cameroon 🇨🇲 and living in 🇨🇲 And am using but iPhone about the payment I have a credit card but they other things that they put « State and so on What should I put there?
@ShiminyiVibez honestly I think that may be a question that support can answer better than me
Also the DAWs I use are Pro Tools, Harrison MB, Luna, and FL Studio and it works with all.
Nice! I didn't have an actual DAW control issue either, but the firmware upgrade kept saying it was required. However, it worked without it so it was a bit of an unnecessary headache
Had mine for about a year now and I love it. Just wish it was rackmountable due to me tryna find upgrades for a new desk. Nonetheless, I’m able to control all my DAWs plus plugins with it and when shopping for a DAW controller I initially thought it was something I didn’t necessarily need but now I can’t work without it plus I got all I need with paging up and down 16 faders for a fraction of what I would’ve paid for other controllers. Presonus did they thing in my opinion
Rackmounting it would be nice. I definitely think having 16 faders on deck is a gamechanger too. Presonus did well with it IMO. My only gripe is the firmware/software update issue. I honestly think they can go without it or just modify that particular process but otherwise it's GREAT!
Hi shawty, first time in your channel. Nice 👌🏾
Thank you!
@@TarceaRenee I been using Icon platform-M+ for a number of years and there's a new upgrade and im going for icon p1m. does fader port have anything new out? if it got better features than icon ill definitely consider
Keep going Tarcea….. love to see women being knowledgeable about mix engineering!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
You just help me find my way to get my club mixes out there I needed this breakdown ill be back on the progress of it all
Ayyyee that’s what’s up!!! Thanks for tapping in

Hi, what do you mean by Symphonic has "a direct connection to outlets that let you specifically distribute instrumentals"? Can you elaborate please? Also, how is Spotify being "more strict" on releasing instrumentals? How are are any distributors for that matter making it difficult to release "instrumentals", which is basically just music without vocals. I'm really confused by this point and I can't find information online about this.
To simplify this, if you're going to distributre Instrumentals, I would suggest going through Symphonic.
Just got mine, they fire!!!
Dope!!!
❤
It's interesting!
Thank you!
You are amazing. So inspiring
Thx! 🙏🏽
cute

If I make a mistake on the uploading my song without a music profile how do I go backwards and change it to make a profile? Also how long does it take for illustrate to upload music?
1. idk about that first question cause I've never made that mistake or never tried to find out how to fix that 2. Usually within 72 hours but DSPs have been bad lately so I wouldnt recommend submitting anything last minute these days
I would hit up support

Are there any free alternatives to Songtrust?
Great question! The free alternative is THE MLC. They're great, they just don't collect globally but I would recommend them as well if Songtrust is not affordable at the moment.
@@TarceaRenee Thanks
no problem
Fantastic video I'm undecided between buying these or the Adam A7V, what do you recommend?
Thank you! I would honestly recommend the A7V over these. Here's the best deal I've found on them for a pair: sweetwater.sjv.io/PyPkPR The A7v is very similar to the A7x and I wouldn't change the a7x for anything except for something better, which for the price, is the only other option within the same price range that I would recommend. I haven't found anything compatible or better yet to the A7's that doesn't cost waaay more.
@@TarceaRenee I found an offer for a pair of used A7Vs just under 1 year old for 800€ in total, but I was told that the Evo Alpha twins are far better, have you ever tried them? What do you think?
@danielebellezza8699 the a7v would still beat them. If you want any kind of bass response and flat mixing I would go with the a7. The Evo Twins are just these 80 Evos put together with a split frequency response. I would need to test them in my room though to give a fully accurate assessment
@@TarceaRenee Thanks for this advices🙌
@danielebellezza8699 no problem at all
I’m sorry could you please elaborate a bit more as to why instrumental music is an issue on some of the platforms. I was planning to release my instrumental music with either Ditto or CDbaby, and just came across your video
All of the DSPs are more strict on instrumental music because a lot of people upload it and bot it just to get the money out of it
@@TarceaReneeGot it, thank you!
@kateanderson3779 You’re welcome!
Thanks 🙏🏾
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching. Please sub if you haven't already :)
Do we still get the revenue collected for a song that spotify removed ?
No. Spotify will not pay the revenue out
Question: What if you have songs that haven’t been released? Does the same thing apply when you are moving to a new distributor?
Technically, you can only move music that HAS been released already. You just do a fresh upload on the other platform if it isn't out yet
@@TarceaRenee Thanks
I heard that blogs dont like to receive attachments and wont even open an email with an attachment.
Definitely not true. They want what they ask for. Not a bunch of attachments that aren't relative to what they want you to submit. Also these days, a lot of them want you to upload your attachments inside of a form on their website but you still need those attachments before submitting.
yo can i setup a youtube artist channel with illustrate music?
Yes, ultimately KZread has to approve it still
Love the video. Would like to ask you a few question outside of the comment section
Thank you. DM me on Instagram @Tarcearenee
Good info
Thanks
What is the best distributor if you just want to sing Cover Songs legally ? I don’t care about getting paid
Unfortunately that’s something I haven’t looked into but it seems that each distributor has different rules and requirements for that
$75 fee for BMI for 2 yrs
Correct. Free now with ASCAP
Just got illustrate gonna see how it goes
Can I Set two labels on one release?
I haven’t seen anywhere you can do that but I also haven’t tried
@@TarceaRenee okay 👌, thanks for your reply!
@smart_marvins no problem I’ll report back after I try😉
@@TarceaRenee thanks
UR SO GOOD
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
@@TarceaRenee god bless! This is soooo underrated!
Can I withdraw easily from Nigeria?
yes just request your payout method that's needed
