was wondering!!! about BMI

Who is registered with BMI or any other outlet....

Just wondering how they have been to you and if you have sold any music threw them....

Are they a good company to go threw... just looking for some of your feed back

Thanks to all. I have been to the website.

I'm with them and they have been pretty good to me I don't think that there is too much difference between bmi and ascap they both pay the same.

what is bmi?

BMI is a music performing rights organization.

is it hard to register with them.... I know I should do the reseach... thanks

No not really but I don't know how the process works today I have been with them since 95 many new measures may have been put in place so that's something I'm not sure of.

I know for a fact that when applying with BMI as a publisher they charge you as oppoed to ASCAP who doesen't charge a fee at all. BMI also holds youy to a contract and ASCAP doesn't.

I don't think there is much of a difference between them both pay tha same.

All you need is 1 or 2

Registered work that has been performed live at a venue and you have evidence.. Rather a video or flyer or liner notes.

Registered work that is up for sale, hence http://www.cdbaby.com

Both are good and the same, but they pay at different times.

Lastly it is customary for both label and artist/label be registered with same company....

You can always wait and register when you sign with a label (if you desire) so you have the same.. Or if you are strictly indie it doesn't matter.
