# Collaborations

> Learn how to credit co-producers on your tracks and how collaborations affect earnings, analytics, and visibility on BeatPass.

BeatPass supports multi-producer credits on tracks. When you credit more than one producer, the beat can appear on each credited producer profile, but there are also earnings and management rules you should understand.

***

## How Collaborations Work

For collaborative beats, BeatPass currently does the following:

* Shows the beat on each credited producer profile
* Splits subscription contribution value equally across credited producers
* Leaves ongoing track management with the uploader / track owner

<Note>
  Crediting someone on a track is not the same thing as giving them editing control. The uploader still manages the beat's files, metadata, and licensing settings.
</Note>

## Adding Collaborators

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the track form">
    Upload a new beat or edit an existing one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the Artists field">
    Add the credited producers in the **Artists** picker.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the track">
    Once saved, the collaboration appears on the credited producer profiles.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Attribution Best Practice

The cleanest collaboration setup is when every credited producer already has a BeatPass profile. That keeps attribution, profile visibility, and producer-side data aligned.

## How Subscription Earnings Are Split

BeatPass currently splits contribution value equally among credited producers.

| Producers Credited | Each Producer Gets |
| ------------------ | ------------------ |
| 1                  | 100%               |
| 2                  | 50% each           |
| 3                  | 33.3% each         |
| 4                  | 25% each           |

This applies to BeatPass subscription contribution, not to private off-platform agreements between collaborators.

## Exclusive Sales on Collaborative Beats

BeatPass does not automatically split exclusive-sale proceeds across collaborators just because multiple producers are credited.

The track owner / uploader is responsible for:

* Managing the beat
* Configuring exclusive terms
* Handling the BeatPass-side exclusive payout flow

If collaborators want a different revenue split, they need to arrange that outside BeatPass.

## When to Use Collaboration Credits

Use collaboration credits when:

* Two or more producers genuinely worked on the beat
* You want the release to appear on multiple producer profiles
* You are comfortable sharing BeatPass subscription contribution equally

Do **not** use collaboration credits casually if you do not want the track appearing on another producer's profile or sharing BeatPass-side contribution value.

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I remove a collaborator later?">
    Yes. Edit the track's credited artists and save the change. BeatPass will then update where the beat appears and how future contribution is split.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do collaborators approve the credit inside BeatPass?">
    The current workflow is uploader-managed. Coordinate with your collaborators before publishing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does collaboration also affect XP?">
    BeatPass awards 25 XP for collaborations, and collaborative tracks also contribute to other activity such as plays and uploads.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does BeatPass automatically split exclusive-sale money across collaborators?">
    No. The BeatPass-side exclusive flow follows the track owner / uploader configuration, so any off-platform split between collaborators must be handled separately.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
