Tracklib Announces Repost by SoundCloud as Preferred Distributor

Tracklib, the world's largest service for sampling and licensing original music, announced today a partnership with Repost, the distribution and creator services division of SoundCloud, to make its professional marketing and monetization service, Repost by SoundCloud, a preferred distributor on the Tracklib platform. Through the partnership, creators and producers will be able to distribute their Tracklib-sampled tracks all while their streaming revenue is reported automatically to Tracklib and paid to the right parties, leveraging Repost by SoundCloud’s automated payment splits feature. This simplifies the process and supports fast and easy automated digital revenue payment, meaning creators and producers can spend less time with revenue reporting and more time doing what they love. 

Tracklib is the only sampling platform to support automated royalty payments with specific, vetted distributors. “Tracklib is pleased to partner with Repost by SoundCloud to refine, simplify and further automate the process of clearing samples,” said CEO & Co-founder Pӓr Almqvist. “We look forward to continuing making improvements in the industry with Repost by SoundCloud. SoundCloud has always been an important and creator-first platform, so this partnership resonates well with us.”

“At SoundCloud we are fundamentally impressed with the problem that Tracklib is solving for artists and producers around sample licensing,” said Jeff Ponchick, Vice President and Head of Creator, SoundCloud. “Tracklib’s offering is the ideal complement for Repost by SoundCloud creators to have access to, and we look forward to working alongside them to help drive revenue for artists in a new and compelling way.”

Users can simply add soundcloud.com/tracklib in the split pay section of the Repost by SoundCloud Dashboard with the percentage share according to their sample license from Tracklib, and all digital revenues start being accounted for directly. Then the artist or producer’s work is done. Once the song is distributed through Repost by SoundCloud, users receive an International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) to confirm the song is released.
