Is your music registered with ASCAP? We can only pay you if you are properly linked in our database to the work in question.Before you reach out to us, please investigate: There are lots of variables involved in determining whether a performance will generate an ASCAP royalty in any given distribution. Fill out the form every time there is a licensable live performance of your music, anywhere in the world. Performance Notification (for concert music) – ASCAP composers of symphonic and concert music can get paid for live performances of their works at ASCAP-licensed concert halls, universities and other ASCAP-licensed presenters and venues, by submitting programs via our Performance Notification form.Only an ASCAP writer member can submit an OnStage claim, and you must have direct deposit set up for your royalties. There you’ll be able to submit your setlists. Log into the Member Access account for your ASCAP writer membership, and you’ll see OnStage listed under “Works” on the left navigation bar. ASCAP Onstage (non-concert music) – For live performances at ASCAP-licensed venues that fall outside of our survey of top-grossing tours and festivals, you can submit your setlists to get paid via our ASCAP OnStage program.We request setlists directly from managers, promoters and venues where available. This includes both headlining and opening acts, so that approximately 2,000 acts are eligible for the Live Concert Survey each year. Live Concert Surveys – We distribute royalties for the ASCAP songs performed during the top-grossing tours and festivals each quarter, as reported by Pollstar.There are a few different ways for ASCAP members to earn royalties from live performances of their music: That’s why we spend thousands of hours tracking live performances and collecting setlists to ensure you can get paid properly when your music is performed live.

#PUBLISHER PLUS REMOVE BACKGROUND TV#
The money we receive from radio stations is paid out for radio performances, the money we receive from TV networks is paid out for TV network performances, etc. ASCAP is always striving to maximize our efficiency so we can deliver more money to our members.ĪSCAP pays on a “follow the dollar” basis.
We use sophisticated technologies to monitor, track, match and process trillions of data points and seek to pay our members based on their performances fairly, accurately and efficiently.ĪSCAP operates on a not-for-profit basis and distributes every dollar we collect, less operating expenses, back to our members as royalties. For example, if a TV or film producer acquires the performance rights to your music through an irrevocable license, or "buy-out" deal, you will not be able to receive public performance royalties when that show or film is sold or licensed to a downstream music user, or shown or broadcast in a foreign territory.ĪSCAP cannot answer inquiries concerning payments for direct or source licensed performances.ĪSCAP cannot audit the music user or program producer on your behalf.ĪSCAP cannot make up the difference in performance royalties if your ASCAP royalties would have been greater than what you received under the direct or source license.Īlthough ASCAP cannot advise you on what terms you should seek in a direct or source license, ASCAP may be able to provide you with information on what you might earn in ASCAP royalties if we were to license those performances for you.ĪSCAP seeks to pay its members based on performances of their works by the music users we license who pay us license fees. There may also be instances in which a direct or source license might impact your ability to earn royalties from other music users. Keep in mind that while music users and program producers may offer up-front, lump-sum payments, it may be difficult to value or predict the future commercial success of your musical works. You may also wish to assess the importance of your specific works or catalog to the music user's business. You should attempt to obtain as much information as possible about when and how the music will be used and the license terms being offered to others. You should consider seeking the advice of a music attorney or business advisor before entering into a direct or source license.
