If by admin access you mean username/password, this concludes the process changes per distributor.

I don't think we're on the same page. I just explained a monetization process, and there's no need to give admin access to anyone.

Now I have to check out EmuBands. Regarding Soundcloud, you should only need an ISRC and UPC to monetize music on the platform. You may then need to have your Soundcloud page whitelisted. Is this not a standard process across distributors?

I'm going to ask other distributors about the Content ID. https://www.orfium.com/ is new to me. How do you compare it to CD Baby and Distro Kid (the most popular as of now)?

Dead thread but my latest mixdown - https://soundcloud.com/golivelively/hard15

Update on my research: Soundrop is best (and free) option for free auto-split payments.

Are there other reputable summing boxes and articles discussing the debate between their usage in today's music studio?

From what I remember, Routenote gets the majors. However, I'd read that those that distribute to many more are beneficial for EDM - e.g. Horus.

Anyone got more info on this:

I do remember you giving that option. I don't plan on going with them just because of how little platforms they distribute to compared to others. Regardless, its good to know of the many available options.

Might be, althou right now you can get your music to spotify, itunes, deezer, etc for free, but most of the people don't know it.

How?

That's odd. You'd still need a ISRC at least to make $, though, right ?

I found that Sounddrop does free auto-splitting. It took a lot of emails and a few articles to get a handle on music distribution services and fees.

How do you yall deal with split-payments? CD Baby doesn't have it and Distrokid charges anyone with an account.

CD Baby is more expensive than others if you pay full price for distribution, in fairness they have a lot of services that add value..

What are you paying more for with CD Baby that's cheaper with DistroKid or Sounddrop? Also, how do you deal with split payments?

Distrokid is ~$30/yr and ~$50 for it to stay on for life.

Anyone got good info on deciding between getting ISRC only from a distributor or buying your own ?
