How It Works

Upload your release, Add your collaborators and set their percentage and we handle the rest—splits are calculated and sent automatically!

SplitShare™ is designed to make collaboration effortless. Once you’ve finalized your release in the SymphonicMS, you can assign royalty percentages to each of your collaborators—whether they’re vocalists, producers, writers, or session musicians. All it takes is a few clicks to set up, and from there, the platform takes care of everything.

No more chasing down spreadsheets or sending awkward follow-up emails about payments. Once splits are assigned, SplitShare™ handles the calculation and distribution of royalties for every eligible stream or sale, every month. Your collaborators will be notified and invited to log into their free Symphonic accounts, where they can track earnings, view detailed analytics, and receive payouts—without needing to go through you.

Whether you’re managing one track or an entire catalog, the process is fully automated, transparent, and optimized to scale as your music career grows.

Assign Multiple Tracks to a Single Split

Work smarter, not harder. With just a few clicks, you can assign multiple tracks to one royalty split—streamlining the process and saving yourself hours of manual entry.

Managing multiple tracks for the same set of collaborators? SplitShare™ allows you to group multiple songs under one unified royalty split configuration. This feature is perfect for EPs, albums, or ongoing collaborations where the contributor percentages remain the same across projects.

Instead of setting up splits manually for each track, you can batch-assign them to a single split group in seconds. This not only reduces the chance of errors but also helps maintain consistency and accuracy in reporting and payouts.

Producers, labels, and artist managers especially love this feature—it dramatically cuts down setup time and ensures everyone is aligned across the board.

Updates can also be made later if percentages shift or team members change, so you retain full control while minimizing the busywork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change splits after I release my song?

Yes, you can change splits after releasing your song. SplitShare allows you to manage and edit track splits as needed. You can navigate to the SplitShare > Tracks or Payee page in the SymphonicMS to edit splits for any track. This flexibility lets you adjust percentages or add/remove contributors even after the song is released, ensuring royalties are distributed according to your current agreements. The changes will apply to future royalty distributions.

What if my collaborator doesn’t have a Symphonic account?

If your collaborator doesn’t have a Symphonic account, you can still invite them to SplitShare. You’ll need to send them an invitation by entering their email address in the SplitShare > Payees section and clicking “Invite.” They’ll receive an email with instructions to set up their own SymphonicMS account. Royalties won’t transfer to them until they accept the invitation and enroll. Until then, their share remains in your account, and it’s your responsibility to handle any manual payouts if agreed upon outside the system.

Is there a fee?

There is no direct fee mentioned specifically for using the SplitShare feature itself in the knowledge base articles. For Symphonic Starter plan users, SplitShare is included for free as part of the $19.99 annual fee for unlimited releases. For Partner plan users, there’s no additional fee highlighted for SplitShare either—it’s part of the distribution service.

How often are payouts sent?

Payouts through SplitShare are sent monthly, provided the payee has accepted their invitation and is enrolled. Once enrolled, collaborators receive their royalty shares directly to their SymphonicMS account each month for future reporting periods. Payees must meet a minimum payment threshold to request payment, though the exact threshold isn’t specified in the provided context. Detailed royalty statements are available in their accounts to track earnings.
