Hi my name is Kurt Manti I'm an entertainment lawyer based out of Dallas Texas and today I wanted to talk to you about how exactly you use a split sheet so the first thing you're going to want to do is you're going to want to go to the description below and print out a copy of the split sheet template that I have available for free on my website Manti law.com many of you may be familiar with the concept of a split sheet you may have used them before I've been involved in some pretty serious disputes regarding song ownership and credit it's threatened to blow up some very significant deals in the past and so with the split sheets that I give to my artists and writers includes a lot more than your standard split sheet it's it's really a short contract as all split sheets are and so without further ado let's get into it so we see on the first page we've just got the basics you know let's talk about what's the title the song when was it recorded who's the main artist who's the feature artist just so we all know we're talking about the same song the next part gets a little more complicated we get the samples you know you want to you want to make note of what samples were used in what samples are already cleared clearing samples is important as you may know you can't just lift a piece of music and sell it commercially on your record you know you're gonna need to get clearance it's probably going to cost you money and if you're not sure you're gonna be able to get clearance you're earning to make other arrangements you know maybe substitute in other other sounds and so it's nice to get that on the split sheet so that everybody is on the same page and everybody knows hey there might be a problem before we release the song let's address some and then we get to the writers which is where we just want to get all the information and this may look like a lot of information but really this is what you need to register the song with the performing rights organization I know it looks scary but you are going to need your social security number or an EIN if you've incorporated to get that credit on ASCAP BMI SESAC so that's on there for all the writers so that when the song goes to get read there's there's no mix-ups because that can delay people getting paid even just as simply as spelling a name wrong and so the wrong writer gets credit read and then we get into the fancy stuff on the second page and this is where I tell I tell my songwriter clients I say fill out as much of this page as you want you know you can get as deep into this.
