Hey Yancey, thanks for sharing this. It's really useful info, especially as I prepare for Zyla's first Metalabel release. One question: how do you automatically recoup costs before splitting profits between collaborators? I emailed ML about this and was told that it's not possible to do it automatically and I'd have to manually change the splits once we reach the threshold. Has there been an update or is that how you did it?
This is fabulous information Yancey - thank you. The musicto community is embarking on its first collective project (outside of playlists) where we're asking people "What Are You Afraid Of? Why?" We're planning on using a similar model as you did here except the project will be "published" by the musicto foundation - so costs and revenues handled at a non-profit level. I was looking for some basic cost breakdowns and this was exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Absolutely Andrew. This is the best way to learn: through the experiences (and pains) of others
