hey guys.
alot of you have got stuff signed...
quick question..
royalties - is this standard ?
Royalty percentage: physical singles & albums: 16 % digital downloads: 25 %
this is with a fairly reputable label too.
just not sure about this stuff and i know alot of you would know.

Is that 25% of profits or 25% of sale price?
50% seems to be standard for profits, which would equate to 25% of sale price because I think the stores like BP generally take what, 50%? |

im guessing i end up with 25% total? im not sure im new to this.

it doesnt matter, it wont be anything more than a nice meal at mcdonalds anyway. but banshee/bonzai will get u somehow exposed so just do it.
ive had one single and one remix over at thems, theyre cool people. |

| This sounds like a question you should be asking the label and not us. |

Kysora is right. You should have asked your label contact.
Beatport pays out about 50% of the sales price on the site (excluding tax!). If there's a distributor party in between that party takes a nibble as well. Then of course the label. In the end you get left with a few cents.
Labels start taking bigger percentages these days too (which leaves less for the artist). Why? Because a lot of (new) artists seem to accept low percentages and because the label otherwise will seize to exist in no time because they don't earn a sufficient amount of cash. Either way it's crap.
I hope my new label (and it's interesting business model) will scare the out of some existing labels when it launches :D |

good music, on a good label, sells.
bad music, on a bad label, likely wont. |

| how bout bad music on a good label, or good music on a bad label? what about that? u forgot about that. |
|

| Good music on a bad label generally under performs because of lack of marketing and word of mouth. |
|
|

| And bad music on a good label often sells more than the average track because of the bigger audience the label has. |

| so the trick is to mass-produce ty tracks and get them on a "good" label? what is a good label today anyway? |
