You add splits one track at a time from your release's Royalty Splits tab, or if several tracks share the same collaborators, you can set one track split and copy it to all other tracks on your release.
Your release needs to be approved before splits can be added and saved.
How to add royalty splits to a release
Go to Your Releases on your Music dashboard. Open a release from the Completed tab and click Royalty Splits.
At the top you'll see your release, a chart showing how many tracks have splits (for example, 3/10) and a list of every track. The colours show who gets what: blue is your share, green is active collaborators, amber is pending and grey needs verification.
Click Add Split next to a track. If the track already has splits, click the Splits button, then + Add Split to add more.
Enter your collaborator's name. You can enter a new collaborator's name, or pick one of the suggestions from the track's credits and your existing collaborators. If we already have their email address, it fills in for you.
Enter their email address. This is where we'll send the invitation to accept their split.
Enter their share as a percentage. Your own share updates as you go, so you can always see how much you're keeping.
To add more collaborators to the same track, click + Add Split again. If you add a row by mistake, click the bin icon to remove it before you save. There's no limit on how many collaborators you can add to a split.
Click Save Splits.
How do I copy splits to other tracks?
If the same people collaborated and share royalties across several tracks, you don't need to type them in again.
To copy one track's splits to others:
On the Royalty Splits tab, click the Copy icon on a track that already has splits.
Tick the tracks you'd like to copy to. They're all ticked by default, and Deselect all lets you start from none.
Click Copy to X tracks.
We'll give you a heads up if any of the tracks you chose already have splits. Copying replaces what's already there, so it's worth a quick check before you confirm.
To bring another track's splits into the one you're working on:
Open the track and click Copy splits from...
Click the track you want to copy from. A preview shows its collaborators and shares.
Click Copy Splits, then click Save Splits.
How do I use the same splits on my other releases?
If a track also appears on another release, such as a single that later joins an EP or compilation, we match it by its ISRC, the track's unique code.
When you click Save Splits, we'll ask if you want to apply the same splits to them and list the matching releases. Tick the ones you want and click Apply to X releases.
What happens after I add royalty splits?
Each collaborator gets an email asking them to accept their share, and their split shows as Pending until they do. In the meantime, 100% of the royalties stay with you.
