I’ve been registering all of my music under my personal information. When I make my LLC this year, would I have to take down and re-register everything under the LLC? Like for tax benefit reasons? Or can I continue to keep everything under my personal info and simply funnel those royalties into the LLC’s business bank account?

It doesn't make your music sound better anywhere. It makes it 100 times worse. The drastic changes it makes to your system doesn't make it translate on everything. It makes you make horrible decisions that will destroy it on everything. Good in theory, absolute nightmare in practice. I swear everyone who recommends this software is getting paid to do it
@musicbyazuma
@musicbyazuma День назад
You don't seem to understand what the point of the software is. Not every space you listen back to your music is going to be treated. The whole point is giving your ears a more balanced idea on what the song sounds like so you can make smarter decisions afterwards.

Any distributor service with some sorta approval process like routenote will instantly shoot it down before it hits the stores and DistroKid usually turns a blind eye unless you fucking tag Eminem or something so theoretically that hack shouldn’t work

Every writer needs their own publishing entity. Even if they are the same. For writer's who don't have a publisher AND are with ASCAP, I would recommend signing up for a publisher account since they don't allow roll-ups like BMI does

I agree with the first commenter. I have 60 years experience as a music aficionado and musician Showing your immaturity here. Music is subjective. You shouldn't say that intros should be abandoned, you can, however, stress that point that all parts of the recording should " add something to the whole composition". The Best music is not necessarily commercial or popular. A prime example of an essential intro...young whipper snapper...is Maggie May by Rod Stewart. Stairway to Heaven!
