Any users got any experience/tips on this, please?


Yep.... So,,, if you create your music using Band in A Box, you have control of the master and all rights. You bought the program BiaB and therefore have the legal right to use it, and therefore everything you create with it is yours... 100%. Unless you have a co-writer on the songs or another musician playing a track. BUT.... if you get a control agreement in writing.... as I have done when I used other musicians..... guess what? Yep, you still control the master and all rights and have the right to license it.

As others have pointed out, several of us here are licensing the music we write to publishers and music libraries for commercial purposes and are getting paid for it.

YouTube and other sites have rules because they don't want to be sued. There are ways for you to post up your music and monetize it.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
