In here, the cash from broadcasting and TV appearances goes in two major organizations The composer's union and the CREDIDAM - I have no clue what the letters stand for. These two, send the money to each artist's account. It's always a game of chance... some get about 30000 bucks at once even if they hadn't had so much activity and some get almost jack even if they had a lot of activity. The next year, it's viceversa and so on It can take a PRS a while to get the aggregated money and the info and then distribute it . I think CREDIDAM is an abbreviation of Centrul Roman pentru Administrarea Drepturilor Artistilor Interpreti .

That's what an accountant and entertainment lawyer are for. And when you get to the point where you 'think' you should be earning more than you are, then you need to employ both (some actually do both). Nobody is gonna pay you if they think you aren't looking. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 22 2014, 05:26 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

If you mean the broadcast royalties Cosmin - in the UK for radio it's based in part on the Rajar figures. So what a station pays depends on reach, audience, demographics etc. That is then factored by the type program and when it's aired. The station is meant to supply an itemised breakdown of their playlist for the given period and that with the Rajar etc allow the royalties to be calculated. Many bigger stations use playout systems that automatically collect the ISRC to compile the playlists for the PRS. No ISRC may at best mean no payment and can at worst mean that the station may not want to include your stuff. The payment is aggregated by the station and that is then broken down at the PRS and sent to the label . The label is then supposed to divide it up appropriately.

It's not that much different anywhere else.
I would say the biggest advantage we have in the states are the 'secondary' markets. The potential places that your music can get used and no one even thinks about stealing it from you - TV, Film, public works projects, video games, sporting events, museum events/usage, in store play, in flight promotion (ex: short film about _____ town's convention center before the plane lands), etc. Todd's list, numbers 3 and 4 refer and apply to this. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Yeah, some things have never changed ... regardless of technology
@Cosmin ... do you guys (Days of Confusion) book your own shows/events? Do venues in Romania even let you do that? One thing that we do here in the states, or at least in the bigger cities, is basically rent out a venue - book bands/speakers/artists (whatever) - call up a food truck and see if they'll come out - see what's the reality of selling alcohol - set a price and get all the bands to do at least do FB/Twitter posting. *Whoever actually organizes the event does most of the media. Most clubs here won't even charge that much for the night especially if they get to open their bar and keep all the liquor profits. Bands here have also been fairly successful getting product sponsors to do a 'one time' deal. For example: set up a show with 3 bands and ask Jack Daniels if they'd like to in some way maybe 'help' sponsor one concert (or not - they can just have a presence and give away or sell booze and t-shirts). That could be a good way for them to actually see how you draw - ? I don't know ... just thinking. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 29 2014, 12:02 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

in my country. Jack for instance, is associated with artists that barely have some rock n roll in their music - just a slight hint, otherwise cheesy pop stuff, but the people listening to that, have money and drink Jack - there you go Believe me I understand that very well. I'll be 52 years old this year. My 'demographic' will spend some money when they go out. Well, look at it this way ... you have something to look forward to -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

So, in your acceptance, I should be looking forward to getting old, eh? ... Well unless you know something that we all don't you aren't going to get any younger mate QUOTE I am currently on the hunt for companies which believe in young blood - there MUST be some out there I really can't think that there's NO one - right? Perhaps you need to target those brands that position themselves as such. Less JD and maybe more Red Bull or any energy drink; for clothes - more Springfield or Pull and Bear and less Marks & Spencers... -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Tony beat me to it.
But I'll keep my post. So, in your acceptance, I should be looking forward to getting old, eh? Well, I'd rather stay strong and agile and work harder Thank you I am currently on the hunt for companies which believe in young blood - there MUST be some out there I really can't think that there's NO one - right? Oh I went into middle age kicking and screaming believe me. Alas no amount of strength and agility staves off the actual years. Or - more importantly for a musician - the 'years' that others ascribe to you. Big (old) companies - like Jack Daniels -are into safety (return on investment). They know that the blues crowd, the jazz crowd, 'classic' rock crowd and even the 'pop' crowd has some money to spend. Jack Daniels doesn't care about rock and roll or youth ... they care about money. That's why (either in this thread or another) I asked you about what else your demographic likes to eat/drink/wear - ? Of course there's someone out there that's in to 'young' blood. More than likely - it's a younger (like minded) company. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 30 2014, 05:39 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
