Royalty Tracker
DropCue Studio's Royalty Tracker imports your PRO and distributor statements — ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and beyond — and turns scattered CSVs into one clear picture of what earns, where, and from which placements. Built for working composers who treat their catalog like a business.

Import every statement, not just one PRO. Drop in ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and distributor CSVs side by side. DropCue normalizes the columns each PRO formats differently so your performance and mechanical income live in one ledger instead of six tabs.
See earnings by track, territory, and source. Break income down the way it actually flows — top-earning cues, foreign vs. domestic territories, broadcast vs. streaming vs. mechanical — so you know which masters and compositions are carrying your catalog.
Tie royalties back to placements and shows. Match line items to the shows and networks they came from. When a cue lands on a series and the back-end starts paying out, you can see it building statement over statement instead of guessing.
Multi-currency, normalized to USD. Foreign performance royalties land in euros, pounds, and yen across different filing periods. The tracker converts and consolidates so your year-to-date total is real money, not a pile of mixed currencies.
Spot trends and missing money. Compare quarter over quarter to catch a placement that suddenly stopped reporting, a territory that never paid out, or a cue that's quietly become your best earner — the kind of thing spreadsheets bury.
Your royalty history in one place. Every statement you import stays searchable and stacked. No more digging through email attachments and download folders at tax time or when a publisher asks what a title earned last year.
1. Download your statements. Pull the CSV or spreadsheet exports from your ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC portal and your distributor — whatever format they hand you.
2. Import into DropCue. Upload the files. DropCue auto-detects each source's layout, maps the columns, and converts foreign currency to USD so everything reconciles against one ledger.
3. Read your earnings. Open the dashboard to see top and bottom tracks, income by territory, source, network and show, plus trends across every period you've imported.
4. Act on what you find. Pitch the cues that earn, chase the placements that went quiet, and walk into publishing and tax conversations with numbers instead of guesses.
Most composers start with a spreadsheet per PRO and quickly drown in mismatched column formats and currencies. DropCue Studio's Royalty Tracker replaces that by importing your ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and distributor statements directly, normalizing them into one ledger, and showing earnings by track, territory, source, and show. It's part of the DropCue Studio plan, which bundles the full Business Suite for working composers.
Yes. Each PRO exports its statements in a different layout, which is why combining them by hand is painful. DropCue's Royalty Tracker auto-detects each source's format and consolidates ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and distributor royalties into a single dashboard, so you finally see total catalog income across every collector instead of one statement at a time. The tracker is included in DropCue Studio.
The right tool is one built around how composers actually get paid — performance royalties from PROs, mechanicals and streaming from distributors, and back-end from placements. DropCue Studio's Royalty Tracker was designed by a working composer for exactly that, importing PRO and distributor statements and breaking income down by cue, territory, network, and show. You can try it on a free 7-day trial before committing.
DropCue's Royalty Tracker ranks your catalog by earnings once your statements are imported, surfacing top and bottom performers across every period. That lets you see which compositions and masters are actually carrying your income — useful when deciding what to pitch for new sync placements or which cues to make more of. It's available on the DropCue Studio plan.
Different collectors report in different currencies, periods, and territory codes, so totals rarely line up cleanly. DropCue normalizes every imported statement to USD and standardizes the fields, so you can compare quarter over quarter and catch a placement that stopped reporting or a territory that never paid. That reconciliation is built into the Royalty Tracker in DropCue Studio.
Yes. Foreign performance royalties arrive in euros, pounds, yen, and more across staggered filing dates. The Royalty Tracker converts each line to USD and consolidates it into your year-to-date totals, so your catalog's earnings reflect real, comparable numbers. This is part of the Business Suite included with DropCue Studio, which starts at $33/mo and scales with your catalog size.
