Every collaborator on a track, co-writer, featured artist, producer, should have a clear, agreed percentage of the royalties before release, not after the first payout arrives.
What a split sheet actually is
A split sheet is a simple written agreement listing every contributor and their royalty percentage, signed by everyone involved before or shortly after the recording session.
How Upload Nations handles it
Upload Nations supports split royalty payments for up to 100 collaborators per release. Once a split is set up, each contributor's share pays out automatically to their own account, no manual transfers between artists required.
Why this avoids conflict
Verbal agreements about "we'll figure out the split later" are the single most common source of disputes between collaborators. A written split sheet, agreed before release, removes ambiguity entirely.
Treat split sheets as a standard part of your workflow, not a formality, they protect every relationship on the track, including yours.
