5-Day Rights & Royalties Audit

Ensure your next single is a fully monetizable asset.

Over 5 days, you will conduct a full administrative audit of a single song, ensuring every registration is complete and all documentation is centralized. This is the professional standard.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Locate or create a definitive split sheet for your song, listing all writers and their percentage shares. Have all parties sign it digitally.
  2. Day 2Using prompts from the 'AI for Musicians' guide, generate detailed metadata for your song including genre, moods, and lyrical themes.
  3. Day 3Log in to your PRO member portal (e.g., BMI, ASCAP, SESAC) and register the work, using the information from your split sheet.
  4. Day 4Log in to your publishing administrator (e.g., Songtrust) or SoundExchange portal and register the same work. Cross-reference all data for accuracy.
  5. Day 5Create a single, cloud-based folder for this song containing: the signed split sheet, registration screenshots, MP3, WAV, instrumental, and a lyric sheet. This is your 'Asset Package' for any future opportunities. Review the emotional keywords you chose in Day 2. Are they accurate?
