What does a music consultant do?
A music consultant provides strategic guidance on career development, release planning, royalty optimization, sync licensing opportunities, and industry navigation. They help artists and labels make informed decisions about publishing administration, distribution strategies, marketing approaches, and revenue maximization while providing expert insights into complex music industry processes and best practices.
How does music publishing administration work?
Music publishing administration involves registering your compositions with performing rights organizations (PROs) and mechanical rights societies worldwide, tracking where your music is performed or streamed, collecting performance and mechanical royalties from global sources, and distributing payments to rightful owners. Our service handles all technical registration, monitoring, and collection processes while providing transparent reporting and ensuring you receive every royalty owed.
What percentage of royalties will I keep?
With Madverse, independent artists retain up to 95% of their royalties while maintaining 100% ownership of their music and masters. This industry-leading split ensures you maximize earnings from streaming, performance, mechanical, and sync licensing revenue while we handle the complex administrative work of global collection and rights management.
How do I get my music placed in TV shows and films?
Our sync licensing service actively pitches your catalog to music supervisors, production companies, and advertising agencies for placement opportunities in TV, films, video games, and commercials. We handle catalog organization, metadata optimization, licensing negotiations, and clearance processes, connecting your music with high-value opportunities that generate substantial licensing fees and expanded audience exposure.
What is YouTube Content ID and how does it benefit me?
YouTube Content ID is an automated system that identifies and monetizes your music whenever it appears in user-generated videos across YouTube. Our service registers your catalog, claims matching content, and collects ad revenue on your behalf—expanding your income beyond traditional streaming to capture earnings from covers, remixes, vlogs, and any video using your music.
How are royalty splits handled for collaborations?
Our automatic royalty split system allocates earnings among all collaborators—producers, songwriters, featured artists, and other contributors—directly at the source. You define the split percentages once, and our platform automatically distributes payments accurately every time the music earns, eliminating manual calculations, disputes, and payment delays while ensuring transparent, fair compensation for all parties.
What analytics and reporting will I receive?
You'll access a comprehensive analytics dashboard featuring real-time streaming metrics, platform-specific earnings breakdowns, detailed listener demographics, geographic performance data, trend analysis, and audience growth insights. This centralized reporting empowers data-driven decisions for marketing strategies, tour planning, release timing, and overall career development while providing complete financial transparency.
Do I need to transfer ownership of my music?
Absolutely not. Unlike traditional publishing deals, Madverse ensures you retain 100% ownership and creative control of your music, masters, and copyrights. We provide administration services only—handling registration, collection, and reporting—while you maintain complete authority over how your music is used, licensed, and monetized, maximizing your long-term earning potential and creative freedom.
