First off thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my questions.
I've been producing for a few years now and some people have been telling me I should start selling my beats. The only thing that still puzzles me is if I copyright an instrumental and sell a basic license to an independent artist (via, soundcloud,youtube, ect.), would that make it harder for the artist to release? I'd like to sign up to ascap to get all my publishing/writing rights because its now a copyrighted instrumental but I don't want to make it more difficult for the independent artist to jump through hoops just to release a track. I think contracts for that get written up if I was working with a bigger artist with a label if I sell them the exclusive license but I'm pretty new to the game and want to make sure I'm doing everything the right way.
Thanks!
