How to register with Re:Sound.

Register with Re:Sound to collect neighbouring rights royalties when your master recordings are broadcast on Canadian radio, TV, and in public spaces.

⏱ 15–20 minutesNeighbouring rights

Register as a Performer (Free)

You will need:

Your legal name and artist name

Contact information and bank details

A list of recordings you're featured on

Re:Sound's structure: Re:Sound distributes royalties through its member organizations:

Performers: Artisti, MROC, ACTRA RACS (each represents different performer categories)

Record Labels: CONNECT and SOPROQ

Registering with one of the performer groups (such as Artisti) often involves a mandate that enables global collection through reciprocal agreements.

Why this matters

Re:Sound is the only organization authorized to collect neighbouring rights from Canadian broadcasters for master recordings. Without registration, your share is permanently forfeited.

Common mistake

Thinking SOCAN covers everything. It covers the composition — Re:Sound covers the recording performance.

Submit Your Recording Catalog

Submit each recording with:

Track title

ISRC code

Artist name(s)

Release year

Re:Sound uses ISRCs to match broadcast logs from Canadian radio stations.

Re:Sound Member Portal

Why this matters

Without ISRC submission, Re:Sound cannot attribute radio plays to your recordings.

Common mistake

Submitting the catalog without ISRCs. Title-only matching frequently fails on common or similar track names.
