Understanding Royalty Free Music

Music is a big business: worldwide, revenues exceed $40 billion

, which includes proceeds from sales, as well as royalties when songs are played in bars, restaurants, movies, televisions shows, on radio, or by cover bands. Because many productions, establishments, and organizations cannot afford the sometimes hefty fees levied by licensing companies, such as BMI, SESAC, and ASCAP, they opt to purchase royalty free music. What is this, and what are the advantages?

Royalty free music, also commonly referred to as stock music, allows producers, event coordinators, venue owners, and anyone who needs music, to purchase songs or tracks once and pay no further licensing fees. This is much less expensive than purchasing the rights to play instantly recognizable songs by artists represented by licensing companies (which is virtually every major artist). Audio Micro, which has the largest user-generated library of royalty free music, seeks to offer quality stock music for end users, as well as a platform for artists, composers, and songwriters.

Audio Micro offers a full line of royalty free music that includes scores written for television, easy listening, metal, new age, classical, country, and much more. In addition, sounds effects for horror, romance, upbeat, and many more genres are represented, offering producers a much broader array that works within their budget. There is even a host of free sound effects that can be used in any number of capacities.

Besides the obvious cost benefits, stock music has a host of other advantages. When you buy tracks or sound effects from Audio Micro, you can begin using your music immediately. The general licensing and download process is designed to be fast and easy so you can focus on the other details that will make your business or production a success. Polished, professional pieces can be used as many times as you would like without incurring any fees. Another huge advantage is that you know you are using music legally and will not be slapped with licensing fees at any point.

Without royalty free music, the cost of using music would be prohibitive for all but the largest film or television studios. Audio Micro levels the playing field, allowing everyone from a large Hollywood studio to a film student in New York access to quality compositions. With over 150,000 original tracks to choose from and with content available for as little as $1 per minute, Audio Micro is a clear choice for all of your music needs.
