I just recently learned about Ascap and doing research and im still wondering exactly is it.

Is it recommended as music producer to become a member of ascap?

What is Ascap and how has it helped you as producer?
 
Ascap and BMI are performance rights organizations. Basically you get paid through these companies if your beat or song gets played on television/ big film's or commercial video games


Personally, I have an account on BMI but don't really use it. If a music supervisor wants to use one of my tracks for a big movie or something they can offer me compensation for the track upfront royalty-free. It's easier for me and the Supervisor .

They've been scamming people since 1916 bro... That's why people in the industry are affiliated with them

Yes, it's legit. Payment issues arise when the paperwork isn't done correctly
