-
A music publishing administrator handles the operational work of collecting, processing, and paying out royalties on behalf of songwriters and publishers. That includes registering compositions with PROs and the MLC worldwide, issuing mechanical and synchronization licenses, processing income statements from every source, calculating splits, and distributing payments. At Royalty Solutions Corp, we do all of this on a fee-based, white-label model, so our clients keep ownership of their catalogs and their songwriter relationships.
-
Commission-based administrators take a percentage of every dollar your catalog earns typically 10 to 25 percent, for as long as the agreement is in place. Fee-based administration replaces that percentage with a fixed scope-based fee, so your earnings stay yours. The difference matters most as your catalog grows: a commission rate that felt fair at $50,000 in earnings becomes very expensive at $500,000. RSC has used the fee-based model since 2011.
-
Mechanical licensing is the permission a label or distributor needs to reproduce and distribute a copyrighted composition, on a CD, vinyl record, download, or stream. Anyone releasing a cover song, a compilation, or distributing music that contains compositions they don't own needs mechanical licensing. In the US, mechanical licenses for streams come through the MLC's blanket license; mechanical licenses for physical and download releases come through HFA or direct negotiation with the publisher.
-
The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) is the US organization established under the Music Modernization Act to collect and pay digital mechanical royalties from streaming services. To collect from the MLC, your compositions have to be registered with accurate ownership and split data. RSC handles MLC registration for our publishing clients, including initial registration, ongoing maintenance, and reconciling unmatched royalties so nothing sits in the black box longer than necessary.
-
Yes. RSC works with publishers, labels, and catalog owners worldwide. We register catalogs with foreign performance rights societies and collection management organizations, manage international sub-publishing relationships, and process income in multiple currencies. Our fee-based model is identical regardless of where the client is based, no carve-outs, no different percentages for international catalogs. The only practical difference is that we handle currency conversion and FX reporting transparently on every statement.
-
Most catalogs are fully onboarded within four to eight weeks. The first two weeks cover catalog data migration, contract setup, and split verification. Weeks three and four handle society and platform registrations, PROs, MLC, SoundExchange, and any foreign CMOs. The remaining time covers reconciliation of existing income statements and the first royalty run under RSC. Larger or more complex catalogs can take longer; we'll give you a precise timeline before the engagement starts.
-
We work almost exclusively with independent labels, publishers, and management companies, that's our specialty. Our client list spans labels that release a handful of titles per year through to distributors handling thousands of artists. The fee-based model is specifically designed to make professional royalty administration affordable for independent operators who would otherwise have to build it in-house or pay a commission they can't justify.
-
White-label royalty administration means RSC operates as the back-office royalty department under your brand. Your songwriters, artists, and partners see your name on every statement, every license, and every communication, not ours. It's the same service we provide directly, repackaged so your company can offer royalty administration as part of its own service mix without building the team or the systems. Distributors, management companies, and labels with publishing arms use this model most often.
