Royalty Free Music? What's that?
Generally, royalty free music is a way of easily licensing background music for your production without clearance worries. Often you pay a one-off fee which allows you to use the royalty free music in all your productions without additional costs, including worldwide distribution. The terms copy-right free music, background music, on-hold music, production music and library music and are often used to describe royalty free music.
Many websites sell royalty free music, however the terms of their licences can be very different and the term royalty free music is sometimes used quite loosely so you need to read the small print. Some licenses contain significant limitations of use and cannot really be described as royalty free.
At Cut to the Beat, our music is completely royalty free to the production company. Our royalty free music licence clearly states what kind of uses are allowed (most uses are!). If your production is for broadcast, one of our very few conditions is that you fill in music cue sheets and include our music on them. This does not cost you anything and usually does not cost the broadcaster anything. It simply allows our composers to collect revenues from broadcasters' blanket licences (which they have already paid for).
