According to the MOG music network, Daytrotter, the successful live sessions blog, has confirmed it will branch out, launching a setup that will allow bands to sell their live recordings at a 50/50 split. Linked to this, groups could also opt in for additional tour support from the site. The optional agreement would provide a way for bands to distribute (and make money from) high-quality recordings that were previously unavailable through Daytrotter. The website currently only provides sub-cd quality streams of 128 bitrate.
Bands who have recorded Daytrotter sessions received the following email informing them on the deal today:
The opt-in gives bands the opportunity to do the following things:
Sell loss-less/FLAC quality downloads of their sessions. Profits would be split 50/50 with bands.
Sell existing records digitally. This could be any release or album that you’d like to make available directly fromDaytrotter with this essentially being a distribution deal with a 70/30 split to bands. Bands/labels can determine which albums they’d like to make available.
Live tour support recordings. We are offering a chance for bands to collect a handful of live audio show performances for an agreed upon amount of money per show. These would primarily be high-quality captures obtained by the band on the road — 3-4 shows per tour. These live shows would be made available for Daytrotter visitors to buy digitally and the split would be 50/50 with bands.
Daytrotter-based merch. This would include prints of the illustrations that accompany the sessions, prints that we might commission to promote the sessions and any Daytrotter Presents show posters if a band were to participate in one here in Rock Island or elsewhere. This is essentially a likeness royalty so the split is 85/15 to Daytrotter.
