Not getting paid on submitted cue sheets?

[Art Munson]

And I wonder…are there ways that ASCAP pays better than BMI or SESAC?

In film, from what I understand.

This thread has been a very good read. Ive been a library writer for almost 3 years at this point and ive seen very little in The form of ascap payouts. I’ve seen over 360 cue sheets, but I feel that there have to be usages in not getting paid for. Am i supposed to track these down? Ive got over 600 prices of music with a few different libraries. What would you guys Do? Should I switch to him if almost all of my work is tv? With 600 cues.. what kind of nightmare is That?

You are probably falling through the cracks of ASCAP’s surevy system. They don’t pay based on cue sheets alone. They pay based on the performances detected in their sruvey.

See this thread:

ASCAP and their inadequate survey system
