A lot of people heard about this term - royalty free music. It's now widely popular to use royalty free music in your videos, marketing presentations, family and travel videos and a lot more.
There is still enough confusion especially on YouTube about what does royalty free mean, is it actually free, why you need to pay for that, how should you use it and so on.
IS ROYALTY FREE MUSIC ACTUALLY FREE OR CHARGE?
No it’s not.
WHY?
First of all we should look at what does ‘royalty free’ term mean. ‘Royalty Free’ is a business model of selling that allows you to buy other’s intellectual property (in this case – music) with no need to pay any complex backend royalties!
You simply purchase a one-time license for one end product/project.
This payment covers the usage of that music track for the entire life for that project. No additional or hidden charges!
CAN I USE ONE LICENSE FOR ONE PROJECT OR MULTIPLE ONES?
All music that I license at the moment (1000+ items) is selling exclusively though AudioJungle marketplace and according to AudioJungle policies, one license is allowed for usage only in one project for a lifetime.
If you need the same song for other media project you need to pay license fee once again. Luckily for you, the prices are amazing and beyond the affordable!
LICENSING FOR YOUTUBE, COMMERCIALS, TV, ETC.
The license once purchased allows you to use the music tracks in your YouTube videos, personal home, travel, family or kids videos, commercials, TV shows or even a movie that everyone would love to see! As you see, the list can go pretty long, so it’s much for everything you can imagine!
You will be presented with the different options and license types in a purchase process that will allow you to quickly and easily find the exact and right license type for your project!
ONE LAST THING…
The copyrights of the music tracks with a royalty free licensing still belong to the original composer and all rights are reserved.
You are not buying the right to modify tracks in some way or another and then sell them on other platforms as your own. You are not allowed to repackage them for selling on other royalty free music marketplaces too.
You are allowed to use them with no limitations for what they are made for.
That's it! That's the way to market yourself and build your brand - to use high quality, unique and exclusive royalty free music in your videos, or if you want it to be even greater - order a custom music track creation.
If you're a marketer, video producer, advertiser or a YouTuber - you'll need great music to put it all together. Visit my portfolio at http://www.j.mp/olexandrignatov to get a taste of what music I do.
I hope this was helpful and you've now a better understanding of what royalty free music is and what it is not.
Peace everybody!
Have a great day.
