3: Choosing A Music Distributor

Learn the 5 companies you have to register your music with in this e-book: Music Royalties DemystifiedSummaryIn this episode, Jermaine Harris discusses various music distributors, focusing on DistroKid and CD Baby. DistroKid is highlighted for its upfront pricing and the ability for artists to retain 100% of their income from releases, while CD Baby charges a one-time cost per release and takes a 9% cut of revenue. Additionally, the episode briefly mentions Routenote and Lander as other music distributors. Landr, in particular, offers both free and premium tiers, with the free tier retaining 15% of income and the premium tier allowing artists to keep 100% of earnings but requiring fees for each release and an annual payment for full payouts. The episode emphasizes Landr’s additional services such as plugins, samples, courses, and AI-supported mastering, as well as positive aspects of its website design, customer support, and file management system. However, using Landr’s cover licensing service requires exclusive publishing through the platform. Despite this limitation, the podcast speaker recommends Landr due to its overall features and benefits.Interested in connecting with me?Email: [email protected]: Breve Music StudiosSocial MediaYouTube: Breve Music StudiosFacebook: Breve Music StudiosTwitter: Breve Music StudiosInstagram: Breve Music StudiosTumblr: Breve Music StudiosFollow our ensembles on Spotify (or your favorite streaming platform)Breve Orchestra: SpotifyBreve Low Brass Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Music Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Woodwind Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Brass Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Wind Ensemble: SpotifyEquipment:HyperX QuadCast (LINK): https://amzn.to/3QynddKBeyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm (LINK): https://amzn.to/445hYoK
