Rhythm Game Charting Services
From a no up front money option that will take a small share of any royalties of what the band receives from its track sales thru the RBN store which is 30% - 70% split with Harmonix (HMX) with HMX receiving the 70%
MGA would take 10% the band would receive 20% of the total track price/sale.
We will also offer a flat fee for the song charting/authoring, letting the band keep all royalties gained (if any) and offering different levels of service from just doing the charting, to taking it thru peer review on the XNA creators club to full promotion services. tailored to each bands needs and wants. Any band who wishes us to only do the charting for a flat fee will have to secure a XNA Creators club account to submit their songs for peer review and to have them published once passed thru peer review for sale ont he RBN store the XNA Creators Club Account is an annual fee of $99
Flat Fee: pricing are being updated
We are implementing a project invoicing system whereby the authors assigned to your tracks and each band/artist/label will have access to the project details and can see at a glance where we are at as far as progress on each track and each instrument in each track as well as hours spent. This will also serve us to keep track of all accounting with reports generated from the MGA Creators Club account.
So basically everything we know about your track sales you will know too...
