FAQs
Music & Licensing
What is production music?
Production music is created specifically for use in audiovisual and/or audio projects such as television, film, radio, advertising, podcasts, games and online content. It's crafted for use by content creators; easy to find through a searchable website and ready to license.
Is Audio Network royalty-free?
No, it's not royalty-free. Audio Network works with performing rights organizations (PROs), ensuring that composers and publishers earn royalties when their music is used. This model supports the talented artists and composers who create the music.
Why do I need to license music for my project?
Under copyright law, whenever you're pairing music with your content, such as online videos, films, ads, TV shows, podcasts or games, you need to obtain a synchronization (or 'sync') license from the music's copyright owner. If you use any music without a license in place, you are infringing copyright and will be open to legal and financial repercussions.
How much does a license cost?
At Audio Network, there are two main ways to license music: either with a one-off license that applies to a single production or video, or through a subscription that allows you to use our entire catalog across all your productions for the duration of the subscription period. The cost depends on a couple of factors, including what you're creating, how much music is being used and where it will be seen. Please get in touch with our team who can provide you with a quote for your project.
How can I make sure I am choosing the correct license?
Because there are so many ways content can be consumed, we can't list them all on our website. Please email americas.support@audionetwork.com with more information about how you want to use the music, and a member of the team will be in touch with a quote.
I want to use your music for personal use; do I need to license music?
Yes, even if you are only creating a video for your own personal use, you still need to license and pay for the right to do that. For this type of personal use, you can purchase a Creator or Creator+ license at the checkout on our website.
