Signing a contract/registering with SOCAN

[lizzystunes]

Hi everyone,

Taxi newbie here! Just got an offer to sign a track to a music library, but wasn't sure how that works with registering the track in Canada under SOCAN? Do I register the track first and then sign the contract? Does it matter?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi!
Congrats on the library deal. You do not have to and shouldn't register the track with your PRO on your own as the library will take care of that. The exception would be if the library specifically asks you to do it, but I know of only one library like that. So sit tight and enjoy the ride! Good luck!
