What automatic splits are
What a split is for, which releases it can be applied to, and why it replaces that release's normal attribution.
An automatic split shares a release's royalties among several people — the participants — each with a percentage. From then on, every report for that release is distributed only to those participants.
Which releases it applies to
Only distributed releases that don't already have an active split. A split is always per release, not per track or per whole catalog.
It replaces the normal attribution
While the split is active, it's what decides who gets paid from that release.
If you create a split and don't add yourself as a participant, you won't receive anything from that release. The system warns you: "⚠️ You are NOT included in this split". If you want a share, you have to add yourself as another participant.
When to use it
- An agreement with your manager or producer about a specific release.
- A collaboration where each artist takes an agreed percentage.
- Any split you want applied automatically, without manual transfers between people.
What it isn't
- It doesn't change the credits (composer, producer…): those are the artist roles.
- It doesn't affect UXEM's commission: that's applied before the split.
