Royalty accounting & artist payouts for independent labels
Import your distributor statement. VTX Service splits every line, recovers your advances, and gives each artist a statement they can read — and a button to get paid.
No sign-up for the demo. A sample label, deleted after 24 hours.
Built and run at Veltrix Records — 89 rights holders, 300+ releases.Read the case study
Royalties
From the distributor CSV to the bank transfer
The spreadsheet work behind every statement, replaced by four steps — each one leaving a trail your artists can follow.
01
Import the statement
Drop the CSV your distributor sends. Files of several hundred megabytes are read as a stream, and each month becomes its own statement.
02
Split every line
New tracks become releases, credited artists become rights holders, and your default split applies. Versions like Slowed or Sped Up are grouped under one work.
03
Recover advances
Video, master or campaign costs are recouped from royalties before anything is paid — oldest first, on the releases you choose.
04
Pay your artists
Each artist sees their balance and what was withheld. Above your threshold they request payment with their bank details; you mark it paid.
Paid statements are frozen
Once a share is marked paid, its statement is never re-imported or recomputed. An artist finds the same amount six months later.
Manual corrections always win
Fix a percentage once and no later import overwrites it. Unpaid statements are recalculated on the spot.
Withholdings are shown, not hidden
What the label keeps for an advance appears on the artist statement before the balance, with progress to the payout threshold.
Balances are derived, never counted
Balance = earnings − paid out − recouped, computed from facts that do not move. No counter to drift out of sync.
Contracts & artist portal
The paperwork around the money
The agreement that sets the split, and the place where the artist reads what it paid.
Contracts, signed online
Your own templates per label, filled from the release and signed in the browser. Signed documents are kept as evidence and print to PDF.
Split, exclusive, licence, featuring and distribution templates
Minors detected from the date of birth — the guardian signs
Editing a template never rewrites a contract already sent
A portal for every artist
Each artist gets their own login: contracts to sign, signed documents, earnings per release, and a payout request once they reach your threshold.
Earnings broken down by release and by month
Advances and withholdings shown before the balance
Bank details entered by the artist, never by email

Case study
Built inside an independent label
VTX Service started as the back office of Veltrix Records, and its rules come from real statements — like the export whose net-share column held the word “EUR” while the amount sat under another heading. Read naively, the whole statement was worth zero.
The Orchard and AWAL statements today — each column is read from a template checked against real exports, because a misread column ends up on an artist statement. Using another distributor? Send us an anonymised sample through the contact page and we will add it.
Do you take a share of our royalties?
No. VTX Service is a flat subscription. We never take a commission on what your catalogue earns, and we never touch the money: payouts go from your bank to your artists.
Who can see our data?
Only your team. Every label has its own isolated workspace and every query is scoped to it. Artists only see their own contracts and statements, through their own login.
Where is it hosted?
In Germany, at Hetzner, with daily backups kept in the European Union.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 30 days with every module. You enter a card when you subscribe, nothing is charged before day 30, and you can cancel in one click before that.
Can we leave?
Whenever you want. Ask and we erase your workspace and everything in it.
