I cant find a suitable place to ask this question but seen a few other people ask music questions here so i thought id give it a go-

I am a producer working with a few artists that are signed to small labels and have produced a few songs with agreements specifying a 50/50 split of the songwriting and that i can register my work with APRA/AMCOS - now im just confused if that means i have to specifically register the WORK with them or that the label handles that and i simply need to have an APRA/ AMCOS account.

because when i spoke to one of them (from one label) they said "dont worry about it, apra will take care of it" and im still not sure what that means really. and since we use different terminology here than america its hard to find good information on the topic thats specific to australian terminology and standards.

one of the songs I produced for an artist about a year ago hasnt shown up in my registered works (although it was a pretty small song and i understand i dont get paid royalties until other fees are paid)

but this new one ive produced for another artist is gaining momentum and i want to understand the process before its too late/ overwhelming.

TLDR; do i register an artists work on APRA/AMCOS as a producer or will the label handle that.
