Split Online Music Templates For Free

A songwriter split sheet is a written agreement that identifies all contributors to a song as well as their ownership percentages of that song. These ownership percentages determine how publishing royalties will be "split" between creators.

A split sheet should always include the details you need to document song ownership and a contractual agreement between its contributors. These details include a composition's title, any songs that were sampled, and the legal name, collection society, and publisher or publishing administrator of each creator.

Producer Deals The most common deal struck between an artist and a producer gives a producer a flat fee for their work in addition to some royalties. For example, a $1000 fee to produce the song, plus 15%-25% (standard for indie producers) of the song's net royalties.

The percentage amount given to each songwriter is the same amount given to the songwriter's music publisher. If two songwriters agreed on a 50-50 split, each publisher will receive 50% of the total music publishing royalties. The overall music publishing ownership total adds up to 100% as well.

Since most producers get 3-7 points and most artist's deals are 12-20 percentage points of sales/streams, you divide the producer point by artist point. So, if you're working with a ?4 point producer,? you can divide 4 by 16 (typical artist points) and you get 25%. Or 4 divided by 20 would get you 20%.

The Top Three Steps All Songwriters Need to Take When Co-Writing At the point of creation, amicably agree on splits - ideally in writing - that add up to exactly 100% (View a sample of songwriter Desmond Child's "split sheet" here). Share correct publishing and performing rights organization (PRO) info with each other.

A basic split sheet should include: The date. The song title. Legal names of all contributing writers involved. Role in the song creation (producer, songwriter, etc.) Ownership percentage for each contributor. Specific contributions (lyrics, hook, melody, beats, etc.) Record label (if available)

There are two shares of royalties for each writer when a song is created. Each writer has a ?writer's share? and a ?publisher's? share. So, if there are two writers on a song, there are four shares assigned to that song. Two writer shares and two publisher shares.

Producers, songwriters (lyricists) and sometimes even engineers. Generally, non-exclusive beat licenses are sold with 50% publishing and writers share. This is usually not negotiable since the music part is the producers' contribution to your song and is considered half of the song.
