The only complete package

Why do so many Record Labels end up choosing Counterpoint? The most common reason is that we cover everything. With Record Maestro, labels can have a solution that addresses their whole business. Record Maestro is the only software package available that will automate your royalty processing, digital sales imports, digital store distribution and society reporting requirements. When you’re buying software, remember to ask what it doesn’t do - don’t just let your vendor tell you what they like to deal with and what is most profitable for them!

 

Full royalty administration

Royalties are a cost to your business - but we can reduce those costs. Firstly, we can reduce the cost of your time, by replacing manual tasks with automated processes. Compare Counterpoint’s online statements with the time and cost of mailing paper statements as a great example. Secondly, Record Maestro removes the risk of manual error that comes with using spreadsheets. By implementing a complete package rather than just a royalty calculation tool, you remove the risk of system integration errors. And we’re not just talking contract royalties like artist or distribution statements - we also do mechanical and society reporting, something our competitors don’t always like to talk about!

 
 
 

Making you look Good!

We’ve seen our fair share of custom solutions offered to labels. Whether they are worth the extra cost is not really the point. Even when they go over budget, some people still think they see the benefit. But who else does? Anyone they report to suddenly has a non- standard statement, report or file that costs them money to integrate. Anyone sending data gets given a new format for them to comply with. And whenever the industry changes, the label has to add the cost of developing their software to the cost of developing their business. Record Maestro offers industry standard interfaces for label copy data, sales data and even royalty transfers. Tell your partners you have an ‘alternative’ solution, and they know there is an added cost to doing business with you. Tell your partners you use Counterpoint and they know you are up to industry standard.
