I have had a couple cues used on promos, and am not sure I there is anything I should do to be sure I get performance royalties.
I was reading on the ascap site (my pro) about how payments work for promos. It sounds like ascap uses a service called competitrack to do a “complete census”. That sounds like they track all music used in commercials on promos.
Is it standard operating procedure for the music supervisor to submit cue sheets for promos, or is it my responsibility to submit a claim request with my pro? I don’t see how competrack would have any ideas what my cues are to make it automated, so I assume it requires a cue sheet submission.
These promos were on Fuse and Comedy Central, which are both monitored by competitrack.
Any advice would be appreciated.
