PERFORMER ROLE CODES To help calculate the share of revenues that individual performers should receive from use of a sound recording, a performer is assigned a contributor category and role code. Role codes are split into a number of types – not all of which are eligible for payment. Each type is further sorted into different instrumental, vocal or studio personnel performances, so that it is easy to identify what each performer contributed to a sound recording. Payable roles are generally ones which provide an audible contribution to the final sound recording. Non-payable roles are generally studio activities which add no audible contribution to the final sound recording.

PAYABLE ROLES There are a number of payable roles. These are broken down into groups depending on the activity or instrument being played. See below all of the roles within each group.

NON-PAYABLE ROLES Non-payable roles are those which do not add an audible contribution to the final sound recording. These roles are therefore not eligible for payment. See below for an example of these roles.

CLAIMS BY STUDIO PRODUCERS A studio producer will be deemed to have performed on a sound recording if: (i) they contributed an audible contribution (such as playing an instrument or singing); or (ii) they conducted or musically directed another performer’s live performance as it was being recorded (a so-called “Performing Producer”). For the avoidance of doubt, alterations made to the track after the recording has been made, such as edits or remixes, will not be deemed to be performances (unless these new versions involve new audible performances as in (i)).

Please see separate document for more details on studio producers.
