beat leasing and publishing dillema

[Azamat Bagatov]

Good question, I don't know.

You probably wont get an answer unless you post a question in the format "Shawty Red on da MPC" or "X vst vs Y vst."

Tone down your questions, smartie, or you will be banned!

I don't see why this should be a problem. AFAIK each song will be treated individually, so each song is an entirely new work. You just have to write split sheets for every song the beat is used.

At least this is what I do.

Each work or song can also have different % to the beatmaker in their respective contracts even though it is the same beat.

Get a contract where it says how many % of the publishing rights are yours for that specific song and that the use of this beat is non-exclusive. ASCAP will collect based on the public use of that specific work with that specific title, and distribute according to the split sheet for that excact work.

I don't lease so I share experiences. But from a logistic standpoint, I don't see why there would be any issues. You are licensing a track to be used as a commercial work, basically, and though I am not a layer, I cannot see why it would be an issue. I do see other issues, mainly most people don't release that type of material where publishing matters, much less keep there own side of things in order to make it matter but that's just speculative.
