The RIGHTS Tab
Having an accurate and easily accessible accounting of your track’s ownership is one of the most important aspects of managing your sync business. The Rights Tab makes it easy.
About the RIGHTS Tab
The Rights Tab is where you record the critical splits information about your track. What percentage of the Writer’s Share do each of your collaborators have? Who owns the Master? Recording this information and attaching all relevant split sheets and songwriter agreements here not only keeps the information immediately available but can also autofill the track’s metadata to ensure all rights are clear to a music supervisor, publisher or other industry professional.
