There was a glitch in the musical system. For those of you that don’t know… I’m not only an author. I’m a music producer. There was a problem with United Masters when attempting to upload music. My first release was cleared, and my second resulted in shut down or stop of my account. The support team referenced “artificial views.” Thus, I deleted all my personal copyrighted music featured YouTube videos. I also removed all all my store links; Apple, Spotify, Amazon, etc. Finally with all that said, you may only be able to find my previous music in a future new release of it. However, I’m planning to produce other artists before myself.
When viewing the TrendingTeam website today you’ll notice obvious changes. In order to delete my Spotify, and recreate it, the time consideration is 14-30 days. I also have an excessive amount of work to do to remove all Spotify links individually with help of support. There are perhaps hundreds. In the near future, some articles will delete as well. I’m hopeful that the adjustments will provide the ability to begin my venture as a producer with United Masters.
United Masters was a brainchild in 2017 according to the founder. I was trying to do the same thing before he ever inspired the idea. But, it’s not actually the same in essence. The idea for me was to staircase 25 releases into a distribution agency. The ideal situation when formulating such an agency would likely be user ease in processing. I’ll bring up United Masters and feature my latest releases.
Unfortunately, I have to start the United Masters entry with the “glitch” that may have been triggered in a multiple of ways. My first mistake was releasing a beat track under an artist name. I appreciate the artist name, and will keep it. I’ll likely release sound track genre independent productions, writing, recording, and mastering. I do all the work myself. In addition I’ll be able to place works for third party artist consideration onto United Masters platform.
As a user of United Masters the 19 dollars a month investment into a select producer account including an artist account for 59.99 dollars a year is worth a try. The effort consists of formulating agreements. Entertainment law is a long term study of mine. In previous entrepreneur business ventures I found contracts exciting. I went way too hard on the contract element of my previous business in expenditure. It was likely the most expensive part of the endeavor. If you’re considering yourself joining the producer agency under United Masters distribution you’ll want to consider a producers contract.
I noticed a face from the app Tiktok. I’m going to be doing an analysis of their agreement, as well as others. I don’t recommend anyone try writing agreements themselves. My goal in the study of others agreements is to assure I’m doing my best to comply with law. The music industry is a very tricky place. That’s why it’s worth it to remove the scar on my current publications where ever it exists. Ironically, it may have been triggered due to my attempt to place a release before the Spotify for the artist had been established. At current, I’m unsure if there are residuals on producers instrumental spins. But, there are applications where artists can finds beats between 20.00 and tens of thousands of dollars. The hottest of producers might charge in upwards of 150,000 USD for a single beat exclusive to the artist. But, that form of agreement may not always be exclusive. The price point is going to be in question.
How do you determine a price for your beats? First you have to consider the business arrangement. Are you licensing or selling your materials outright? If you sell your materials outright people are going to want to own the “master” file. I’m unaware if you can upload stems for third party retrial on United Masters. Stems are a term for singular audio files that compose a larger performance. There are a multiple of programs to consider as well. Licensing is an agreement for a term. Next years price might get bumped by some of the producers listing beats on United Masters. And, that’s totally fine. Whereas, if the song doesn’t hit within the first year. Much like all the music I’ve just deleted. The contracts expiration may come with removal of previous works. Therefore, I’m going to give it my best effort when producing tracks.
I don’t want to sell my music outright. If you do, anyone can say they created it. Due to the fact that music is a life work. It’s in good taste, to offer artist licensing to extend myself further into the industry. “A small team of dedicated people can accomplish great things.” The teams can form organically around the music placed on United Masters. I’ll be searching for licensing agreements to draft my own after that include residual earnings for my performance, and composition. I’ll be in a draft that consists of a lot of music producers. However, that’s never stopped me from getting work in the past.
My idea for United Masters was happening about the time of the Muser Meet Up in NYC. I realized the upcoming generation was partying way better at their age. These kids had the club on lockdown. I was impressed. I pitched a dancer; “Want to take a shot at singing.” She revealed to me that she was doing the entertainment as a prowess to help her family. She wasn’t interested in dropping the music I composed. The idea to start with one Muser evaporated. I was actually pitched by one of the people at the meet up to feature another artist for my payment of 2,000 dollars. I declined. The idea of “family business” was an interest of her father. The game plan was manager, publisher, to features, and distribution agency after 25 releases.
I knew from the mathematical assessment that this type of character could generate some form of return. After all, I had spent a few hundred dollars in total on the drive. My time wasn’t wasted. I knew the odds were slim. Singers, and dancers, are sometimes different breeds. Strong control over ones body doesn’t always result in strong control of someone’s vocal cords. When I dropped Make It (*unofficial YouTube soft market test drop.) I was hit with 100 views in under 30 minutes on a brand new account. The system glitched, and presented a “artificial view” suspect as well. If anyone can tell me what I need to adjust to prevent this from happening I’m interested in your opinions. With someone that’s got a flow monetizing the views only felt like the next natural step. However, everyone steps to the beat of their own drummer.
I still believe there’s hope. I think that this might be exactly what I needed to assist my pitch. Let the music speak for itself, and work to present quality on United Masters. The time frame in delay provides me the opportunity to form a strong agreement. Look forward to new music under a new name! If anyone hits on my music I’ll see if they want a feature. The NFT horse game is going really well, and strategy updates will arrive!
With all that said, I’m doing my best to update links for my new releases on United Masters. Stay tuned!
