Sync Royalties: common questions
- Do sync royalties pay the songwriter and the artist?
- Yes. A sync license clears both the composition (songwriter/publisher) and the master (recording owner), so both sides are paid.
- Does Notes take a cut of sync income?
- No. Notes is a flat subscription, so sync royalties are reconciled and paid to you in full.
