FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions we get most.

Submissions and delivery

Who can work with the Studio?

Solo artists, ensembles, and student organizations.

How do I start?

Send an inquiry through the contact form or to hello@dylanyeestudio.com. We reply within 2–3 business days.

What file and artwork specifications do I need?

See Creator Resources for general guidance. We confirm the exact requirements for your release when we confirm your plan, and our technical verification process checks your final assets before launch.

How long does a release take?

Timing depends on your plan, how quickly final assets pass verification, and the streaming platforms' own processing. We confirm the schedule with you when your agreement is set.

Fees

How much does distribution cost?

Single (1 track) from $45, EP (2–6 tracks) from $69, Album (7–12 tracks) from $89, in USD, depending on plan (New Star, Standard, Premium). Releases of 13+ tracks or special formats are quoted individually. Full table: Services & Pricing.

Do I pay everything upfront?

No. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is due on signing. The remaining 50% is due only after your final assets pass our technical verification, and before global launch.

Do you issue invoices?

Yes. We issue official Commercial Invoices / Receipts for our digital distribution services. We also cooperate with institutional departments on internal Labor Service Reward Forms or specialized accounting vouchers.

Royalties and settlements

How are royalties split?

99% to the creator and 1% to Dylan Yee Studio, on every distribution plan. The 1% is a royalty custody, revenue-split maintenance, and administration fee.

When do I get paid?

A payout starts once your cumulative payable balance reaches NT$1,000 or US$50, depending on the settlement currency. Smaller balances roll forward to the next settlement.

After release

Can I change my title, credits, or artwork after release?

Yes, for a one-time administrative fee starting at $10 USD per request. The final fee and the eligible scope are confirmed before the change is submitted to the platform. See Post-Release Support.

Do I keep ownership of my music?

For distribution, yes. Distribution does not transfer ownership. For bespoke composition, ownership depends on the rights structure you choose: a full rights buyout transfers ownership; non-exclusive licensing does not.

How do I report copyright infringement?

See Copyright / Infringement Reports.
