Information about Sound Recording Royalties
What are sound recording royalties?
Sound recording royalties are the most basic royalties that artists get paid every time their master recording is downloaded (on iTunes, Beatport, etc.) or streamed (on Spotify, Rhapsody, etc.). It is typical that when an artist collaborates with a producer on a song, that the artist agrees to share some of this sound recording royalty income with the producer. These royalties are paid out to the artist and producer by whichever distribution company (Tunecore, CDBaby) the artist chooses to register the song with before posting to Spotify, Itunes, ect.
