Audio production license rights, terms and rate information.
Please read the terms and information regarding license rights below.
Rates for audio production and music license:
How much does audio production and music license cost?
Well, it all depends on what you are looking for? For example, an orchestral score will cost more than a pure electronic beat since it takes alot more time to produce and arrange orchestral music.
Maybe you are working on this big project which requires a certain exotic and rare instrument!? Session musicians also want their share so this adds to the costs.
Let us know more about your specific project, budget, and we will then give you the best possible offer at an attractive price.
UNDERSTANDING MUSIC COPYRIGHT:
When music is recorded there may be more than one copyright owner having an interest in the recording. The music itself may be an original and
produced by one person, the lyrics may be an original literary work produced by another person and the sound recording itself can be a copyright work by the studio.
Also Performers' Rights may also exist in the recorded music.
However here at Morningdew Media all the music available for 'copyright license' is owned entirely by Mattias Holmgren and therefore only one license is required, which is provided by Morningdew Media.
So, if you wish to use any of our copyrighted music in your production, such as DVD, Video, CD, movie, radio, video game, website etc, you will
only need to obtain one music license from the copyright owner, Mattias Holmgren.
Mattias music is ideal for the film, television and video games where original compositions are necessary.
LICENSED MUSIC:
A) NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE:
This refers to any purchasable music which we provide on our website, including single pieces and all songs on our Morningdew Media music CD: Stellar Perspective
(Plus any future CD's). Customers can buy online from the website store:
Order "Stellar perspective" CD.
HOW IT WORKS: When a customer purchases music from our site, this DOES NOT ALLOW the purchaser to use the music in any other way except for personal listening.
(The same as you can't use music from any other music CD you buy from any other store).
However, if a company or individual wishes to use one of our pieces of music commercially on their website then they would need to purchase from us a
NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE for a minimum period - usually 12 months. At the end of the license period, if use of our music is still required by the license holder,
then a new license would have to be purchased for a further 12 months period. (Licence holders will be notified of the cost of renewal one month prior to the
license expiring.)
B) EXCLUSIVE LICENSE (COMMISSIONED MUSIC):
This music license option is when a company/person commissions Mattias to actually write a piece of music especially for them and to their specific guidelines.
This type of music is again only purchased under license, but this time as an EXCLUSIVE LICENSE - which means only they (company or individual)
have the sole right to use that piece of music for a specific time - as governed by the length of the license which will be determined at the time of issue.
They also have the right to renew their exclusive rights when the license expires.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BOTH LICENSED AND ROYALTY FREE MUSIC:
It must be noted that ALL music, whether purchased under a Royalty Free Agreement, Non-Exclusive License or Exclusive License, always remains the copyright of the composer Mattias Holmgren.
The purchaser is only purchasing the right to use one piece of music, in an agreed manner, for a specific time (as stated in the Licence). Or, in the case of a Royalty Free Agreement, the right to use one piece of music in an agreed manner (as stated in the agreement) for an unlimited length of time.
Licenses/Agreements only come into force once we have received a free copy of the media concerned, verified its agreed usage, and emailed you with the signed verification document. Alternatively, we can postpone the start date of any licence or agreement to beyond the date of the verification document being emailed, in order to fit in with production runs.
You must inform us about the subject of your product which must not fall into any of our prohibited subjects. We do not allow our music to be used to support any derogative, pornographic, racial material etc. (If you are uncertain whether your subject matter will be acceptable please email us.)
