A Beat Built on a Library Loop Cannot Use It."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>AMA is a public music distributor run by Argentina&#8217;s National Music Institute (INAMU): it charges nothing upfront and keeps 15 percent of what your recordings earn.<\/p>\n<p>INAMU, the Instituto Nacional de la M\u00fasica created by <a href=\"https:\/\/inamu.musica.ar\/institucional\/normativa-organica\">Law 26.801<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/inamu.musica.ar\/se-presento-ama\">presented AMA on 12 September 2023<\/a>. The same artist registry that unlocks AMA also gates INAMU&#8217;s grant money, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/inamu.musica.ar\/convocatoria-2026\">2026 Annual Funding Call<\/a> is open from 1 to 15 October.<\/p>\n<h2>How AMA pays<\/h2>\n<p>The terms sit in <a href=\"https:\/\/ama.musica.ar\/preguntas\">AMA&#8217;s FAQ<\/a> and its <a href=\"https:\/\/ama.musica.ar\/acuerdos\">distribution terms<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Commission:<\/strong> 15 percent, taken only from earnings. The other 85 percent follows a per-recording split set by the master owner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cycle:<\/strong> three settlements a year, in April, August and December. AMA notes that stores pay about 90 days in arrears, so a new release can miss its first settlement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Currency:<\/strong> balances of US$5 or more are paid in pesos, to a CBU or CVU (Argentina&#8217;s bank and fintech account keys), at the official exchange rate on settlement day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Codes:<\/strong> a free UPC (the release barcode), plus an ISRC with an &#8220;AR&#8221; prefix if you have none. ISRC means International Standard Recording Code, a recording&#8217;s permanent ID.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exit:<\/strong> no minimum term; leaving takes 30 days&#8217; written notice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcra.gob.ar\/estadisticas-cambiarias\/\">Central Bank&#8217;s wholesale reference rate<\/a> was 1,517 pesos per dollar on 30 September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>With your consent, AMA also files independent releases in the Banco Nacional de M\u00fasica Independiente, which stations use to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/servicios.infoleg.gob.ar\/infolegInternet\/anexos\/155000-159999\/158649\/texact.htm\">Article 65 of Law 26.522<\/a>: at least 30 percent national music on private radio, half of it independently produced.<\/p>\n<h2>What AMA will not distribute<\/h2>\n<p>Getting in takes three steps: register with INAMU, own the master as its phonographic producer, and obtain a one-time distribution code. Codes come from INAMU trainings, provincial culture offices and musicians&#8217; groups. INAMU lists <a href=\"https:\/\/inamu.musica.ar\/convocatoria-ama-2026\">one code-issuing call so far in 2026<\/a>, a Zoom session on 27 May.<\/p>\n<p>AMA refuses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>recordings made with generative AI;<\/li>\n<li>samples, remixes and mash-ups, unless you own every recording involved;<\/li>\n<li>sounds or loops downloaded from libraries, unless you hold an exclusive authorisation;<\/li>\n<li>sound-alikes, DJ mixes, and generic mood compilations for sleep, yoga or workouts;<\/li>\n<li>covers that alter lyrics or melody without a licence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The loop rule is the one that bites. Commercial loop packs are sold to everyone who buys them, so their licences are non-exclusive by design. A beat built on one fails, even when the pack&#8217;s licence allows release.<\/p>\n<h2>The grant behind the same registry<\/h2>\n<p>INAMU runs on a fixed share of Argentina&#8217;s audiovisual tax: <a href=\"https:\/\/servicios.infoleg.gob.ar\/infolegInternet\/anexos\/155000-159999\/158649\/texact.htm\">Article 97(g) of Law 26.522<\/a> assigns it 2 percent of receipts. Javier Milei&#8217;s government tried to eliminate the institute early on, then backed off; in July 2025 the Economy Ministry approved its 2025 budget through Resolution 1009\/2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/mosca.com.ar\/2025\/07\/23\/caputo-le-libera-los-fondos-al-instituto-de-la-musica-y-su-conduccion-reconoce-buena-relacion-con-el-gobierno\/\">Franco Giumarra reported for Mosca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 call&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1q3_oF0s9tA1KdqfX133opt4n44v7PVt4\/view\">bases and conditions<\/a> commit 284.6 million pesos, about US$188,000:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>258 regional grants of 700,000 pesos (about US$461), 43 for each of six regions;<\/li>\n<li>60 national grants of 1.4 million pesos (about US$923);<\/li>\n<li>20 grants of 1 million pesos for registered choirs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The rules that change the maths<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Only projects declared in the registry before 1 October can apply; registration closed on 30 September.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone funded in an INAMU call during 2025 or 2026 is excluded.<\/li>\n<li>Beneficiaries cannot invoice themselves or their band: a recording grant pays guest musicians, engineers, studios and mastering, not you.<\/li>\n<li>Every peso must be accounted for within 240 days, plus a mandatory non-cash social action such as a hospital concert.<\/li>\n<li>Results come within 120 days; winners then have seven days to send bank details or lose the grant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to do with this<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you are registered:<\/strong> apply by 15 October, and budget the recording line as third-party costs only.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you are moving catalogue to AMA:<\/strong> audit every track for library loops and samples first, then use AMA&#8217;s overlap method: identical metadata and audio, about 20 days live on both, then take down the old copy.
