Things you may not know or forgotten completely about using Musicadium
Everything that you need to know about using Musicadium can be found at our Frequently Asked Questions section - however, there are some things that you may not have thought of or have forgotten about!
Claim your digital outlet Royalties at any time - no waiting for us to send you cheques!
Musicadium uses an online payment system via PayPal for you to pay us for the upload fees required to distribute to the outlets and we also use that system to pay you your royalties - which by the way, you can claim at any time after they have been made available in your account!
If you’ve been wondering “Hey, Musicadium never pays me my royalties!” or “I wonder if I have ever made any sales on iTunes?” - wonder no more. The reason you’ve never heard from us is because you hold all the power! You can check any time. The best time to check your account to see if you have made any sales is any time after the 15th of every month. Some outlets pay Musicadium monthly, others quarterly.
You can check your royalties and request a payout of your royalties into your PayPal account at any time (provided you have more than $20.00 AUD in your account) by logging into your account at http://www.musicadium.com/members/login.
You can use Musicadium as a distribution point for a Digital Record Label
These days, it pays to be as savvy as possible in the Music Industry. Which means that at least one person in your band probably has a pretty good handle on how to do most things for your band and is constantly learning. That person may even be you.
When it comes to putting out your Music (and possibly others) and releasing to the world, have you thought about about starting your own digital record label?
In terms of distributing music digitally, you could easily become a digital record label and use the endless number of online services to distribute and promote your acts - more importantly, you could use a Musicadium Manage Multiple Artists account to distribute numerous artists on your label. You can either create a new account at http://www.musicadium.com or email support@musicadium.com to request to have your account changed over to a Manage Multiple Artists account.
Example: Come up with the name of your record label. Sign up to Musicadium under a manage multiple artists account. You are then able to add the releases of numerous artists and manage the accounts/royalties for each of these artists. Disseminate royalties to artists when we pay you!
We’ll leave whatever business model you wish to implement for your label up to you, but you could be helping to bring the other bands you love to the rest of the world’s attention! Everyone wins!
Musicadium can deliver your music to radio stations around Australia
Time and time again, we have seen that radio play can significantly influence the amount of digital sales made. That’s why it only makes sense that we help you out by making it easy to get your tunes there for public listening pleasure!
Musicadium has a contract with D-Star MPE - a digital delivery to Radio (not a radio plugger) service - to supply them with the latest and greatest tracks to play on their shows.
If you would like to know more about how this all works and the kind of packages we offer for this, check out http://www.musicadium.com/dstar-mpe.
We distribute video clips to iTunes
One of the topics written about at length in numerous blogs is that a great film clip is almost necessary these days.
But what do with that film clip once recorded? Rage? Video Hits? YouTube? iTunes?
We distribute film clips to iTunes - if you would like to know more about how to distribute these, shoot an email to info@musicadium.com.
We run showcase events (and we are looking to put on events in different places!)
3-4 times a year in Brisbane, we put on showcase events at BarSoma!
If you are a band distributed by Musicadium and would like to register your interest in playing at one of the showcase gigs we put on, shoot an email to Tim - tim@musicadium.com.
