Frequently asked questions
Rights and clearance
Are your tracks pre-cleared for sync?
Most are sync-ready and can be cleared quickly. Final clearance depends on the specific track and the usage details you send.
Can you do one-stop licensing?
When we control both master and publishing, yes. If not, we can still provide the master side and help you understand what is needed on the publishing side.
Do you control both the master and publishing?
In many cases, yes. If a track has any outside co-writers or publisher involvement, we will tell you up front and confirm what we can clear quickly.
Do you have instrumentals and stems?
Often, yes. We can provide full instrumentals, drums up, drums down, no vocal, and stems when available. Tell us what deliverables you need and your deadline.
Usage and pricing
What does a sync license typically cost?
Pricing depends on media type, term, territory, placement, length of use, and prominence. If you send your usage details, we will reply with a clear quote or a range quickly.
What info do you need to quote a license?
Project type (film, TV, trailer, ad, game, YouTube, podcast), track name, length of use, placement type (background, featured, theme, trailer), term, territory, and budget range if you have one.
Do you offer indie or festival-friendly rates?
Yes, depending on the project, scope, and usage. Send details and we will propose an option that fits.
Do you license for YouTube, creators, and online ads?
Yes. We can license for YouTube channels, social ads, brand content, and web campaigns. Tell us where the content will run and whether it is paid media.
Deliverables and workflow
What file formats do you deliver?
Broadcast-ready WAV is standard. We can also provide AIFF or high-quality MP3 for review. If you need a specific sample rate or bit depth, include that in your request.
Can you provide cutdowns and alt mixes?
Yes. Common cutdowns include 60, 30, 15, and stingers. Alt mixes can include instrumental, no lead, percussion only, and other edits depending on the track.
How fast can you turn around?
If a track is one-stop and ready, turnaround can be fast. For urgent requests, include your deadline in the first message and put “RUSH” in the subject line.
Do you have metadata and cue sheets info?
Yes. We can provide track title, writers, PRO, publisher info, ISRC if available, and any other details you need for cue sheets.
Creative fit
Can you recommend tracks based on a brief?
Yes. Send references, mood, tempo, scene description, and any do not use notes. We will reply with a short shortlist.
Can you write custom music?
Yes. If you need custom composition, send the brief, style references, timeline, and budget so we can confirm availability.
Can you remove or replace lyrics for a better fit?
Yes, depending on the track and timeline. If you need clean versions or alternate lyrical themes, please mention it early.
Still have questions?
Send the details you have and we will reply with the fastest path to clearance and the next step.
