What royalties am I missing as an independent artist?
Royalties & publishing
If you've never registered with a PRO, The MLC, or SoundExchange, you're likely leaving three separate royalty streams uncollected — performance, mechanical, and digital-radio royalties from plays you already have.
Streaming pays more than the distributor deposit: a single stream generates a recording royalty (via your distributor), a mechanical royalty (via The MLC in the US), and a performance royalty (via your PRO). Each needs its own registration, and none of them collect retroactively forever — unclaimed money eventually redistributes to everyone else.
The free leak audit checks all of it in eleven questions: PRO, MLC, SoundExchange, publishing administration, YouTube Content ID, copyright, and split sheets — and tells you exactly which registrations you're missing.
