Any type of media producer knows the challenges of finding good quality music that can be used royalty free, not only is quality an issue but the price can sometimes present an even bigger challenge. Good music shouldn’t be sold at such high prices and the licensing terms should always be simple and advantageous to the buyer rather than the seller. There are options to use free royalty free music, but you need to consider that the composer or the distributors may at some point in the future decide to change “What is allowed” in terms of their free licensing uses, they have no legal obligation to respect any arrangements previously made when their music is offered freely; always be careful, read the binding agreements and choose wisely when using free music.

In general it’s recognized that using popular music you hear on the radio is always more demanded, many criticize royalty free music as being bland and unoriginal, but royalty free is a term used to define what is and isn’t allowed for a particular piece of music, it isn’t a brand name or a product on its own.

With all the royalty free music floating around, many wonder what the hype is about. Royalty free music can be used in more ways than you can imagine. We have listed some scenarios in which you can use royalty free music and the great advantages gained from doing so.

Start by visiting our online catalog and previewing some of our music.

Video clips

Countless videos on YouTube get taken down because the uploaders used commercially copyrighted music as a background score. We are talking about those numerous home-made videos – of singing cats, skateboarding dogs, playing babies – whose uploaders have no intent of breaking the law. They simply wished to make the video more enjoyable. Unfortunately, they would have to pay a royalty fee for every view their video gets, which is clearly uneconomical for them. If you upload videos to YouTube, royalty free music can help you by allowing you to sync the music with the video without ever having to pay another dime.

Presentations

If you are making a presentation for an audience, then you are not allowed to use commercially copyrighted music. It doesn’t matter if you intend to present to five people or a thousand, commercially copyrighted music which you have paid for can only be used for your personal listening experience. Royalty free music helps by allowing you to use as many tracks as you want throughout the presentation and keep your audience captivated by your work.

Entertainment

Whether you are a shopkeeper who likes to turn the music on or a YouTuber who likes to do cover songs for your friends – playing commercially copyrighted music for the ‘public’ constitutes a breach of the terms of use of the license. You might need multiple additional licenses depending on where you live to be able to entertain clients or friends. With royalty free music, you never have to worry about copyright infringement from playing music illegally.

Websites

Imagine having a website that receives thousands of hits a day. You have an artsy website, and think your visitors would love to listen to some music while they browse through your site. Now imagine having to pay a royalty fee for each of those thousands of visitors, even if they turn the song off halfway! Royalty free music provides you an alternative – pay only once for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Uses around the office

You could be the CEO of a huge corporation, and your advisers just informed you that music increases employee productivity. Besides that, you also need music for call-hold, for the elevator and numerous other purposes. You would soon lose track of the number of times you played tracks. But what if you did not have to keep count at all? What if you could make a single payment for all tracks you purchase and then play them over and over again for employees, clients on hold, people in the elevator and others? You know the answer – royalty free music.

Just listen

The ‘royalty free’ tag certainly does not imply cheap royalty free music. You might end up loving a track too much. Listen to it for hours on end, keep hitting the replay button. In fact, we are certain you will love to own many of Capo Production Music’s tracks simply for personal listening.

Companies use business videos all the time. They use them at campus presentations while hiring students, at client meetings to reel them in, even at internal functions for various purposes. Business videos are an integral part of any company’s activities. And if there’s a video, there’s bound to be a background score. Music to keep the viewers interested while they watch the company’s corporate culture, or its products and services. So if you’re going play a video so many times to such varied audiences, doesn’t it make sense to keep it simple and legal?

What are the options for music?

As a video company, it’s clear that you will be frequently hired to produce corporate videos. While making the video, you have quite a few options for the background score. The first is to hire an artist to compose the custom music for you. However it is an expensive process and not many companies have the time and budget to afford it. The second is to buy a Commercial Music track and put it in your video. But if you do that, here’s what will happen – Not only will you need to spend long hours working on the video, but you will also need to dedicate a lot of time to find out what licenses you need to be able to play the video in front of audiences. The story, of course, doesn’t end at acquiring licenses. As a video company, you are probably already very aware of these licenses. But the bigger problem is that you need to convince your client that they need to pay royalties in addition to the cost of the video.

You might say that it doesn’t really matter if you use one commercial song every once in a while, but the truth is that it really does, it is very serious to be mixed up in legal issues regarding music; you’ll need lawyers and a lot of money. To this day people still use commercial music in their productions regardless of this issue, the problem will not only fall on to your company but it will also affect all of your clients. Don’t give in to the temptation of using commercial music without licensing.

What are the alternatives?

It’s much simpler to avoid the use of Commercial Music altogether; which brings us to the third method – use of Royalty Free music. Royalty Free Music makes the process of using music in corporate videos so much simpler. With Royalty Free Music, you have to pay for the tracks just once. Once you have acquired the license, you can put that track in as many videos as you want. There are no complicated steps involved as well as no ridiculous amounts of money to pay. This is clearly a lot simpler than using commercial music. And it’s not just simpler, it’s cheaper too. It really all comes down to one principle, you don’t need to pay any royalties after the first license fee. So the company is free to go ahead and play back the videos as many times as it needs to – to college students, to clients, to suppliers, to distributors, to its own employees and to their families, there is no limit.

With Royalty Free Music, companies no longer need to keep track of various necessary licenses, and to pay royalties every month or so for playing their videos. As a video company, you have even more to gain from your clients in terms of goodwill.

Sourcing music for short films and low budget movies is a big hassle. Commercial Music that you hear playing on the radio is, in most cases, out of the question. Using such music would turn out to be overly expensive. Royalty Free Music is, in this case, the best option.

When you’re in the production process of a movie, you usually have an idea of what kind of music you want. Ambient dramatic pads, peaceful and soulful piano with romantic violins… you need music to suit the mood of the scene. Luckily most of the royalty Free Music online, including on this site, is already sorted according to genre and mood. So whether your need is for rap, dance, pop, orchestral or any other kind of music, you simply visit our Royalty Free Music categories and select the tracks you like after listening to the free previews.

The biggest advantage of such music is, of course, the price. With Royalty Free Music, your need could be met with as little as $15. Sure, you could buy a commercial track off of iTunes for a cent below a dollar, but keep in mind that $0.99 is not the track’s real price unless you only plan to listen to it on your iPod. To put it in your short film or movie, you will need the necessary license to do so. That’s already one hassle more than what you face with Royalty Free Music. You then need to regularly pay royalties to the artist so long as your film or movie is publicly displayed. The real price of that $0.99 track could go into hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Apart from the ease of licensing at lower prices, Royalty Free Music offers other benefits too. In films or movies, the track usually needs to be edited a bit. Maybe you want an echo effect, or want to change the lyrics by a bit, or want to add more drums. Try modifying commercial music without hearing from the original artist’s lawyers! Most Royalty Free Licenses allow you to modify the track in any way you want. Also, with some licenses, you might not even have to mention the artist’s name in the credits. Such tracks are more expensive than ones which require credits to be mentioned, but they serve their own purpose.

All in all, Royalty Free Music for short films and movies offers a host of benefits that commercial music simply cannot; at least not at competitive prices. Unless you make millions off your videos, or perhaps even if you do, it is recommended that you go the Royalty Free way for your all your music needs.

Everyone often expects the same type of music when they watch a wedding video, it’s normal because it’s the traditional melodies that people have come to love over and over again.

What about commercial music, why not use it?

Using commercial music in videos is a serious offence if you screen that video publicly (i.e. in front of a substantial number of people). So you can buy a CD of commercial music, rip it onto your hard disk, use it as the background score in a video and it’s all perfectly legal. Play it for your family and it’s still legal. However, screen that video in front of people that fall outside the court’s definition of “normal circle of social acquaintances”, and you are infringing the DMCA (see definition of “public display/performance” here). If you happen to be a wedding videographer, you are in a bigger soup, since you benefitted from the use of commercial music. The only way to keep it legal is to pay royalties to all the artists whose tracks were used in the video for a substantial length.

Royalty Free Music is the safest and most convenient option for all wedding videographers who wish to avoid infringing on any copyright protections. Royalty Free Music is, of course, a pay-once-use-forever sort of agreement in essence. Ignoring the various types of licenses available for Royalty Free Music, all of them offer one feature that is most important to wedding videographers – there are no royalties attached. You pay once for the track, put it in a wedding video and then head off to the beach and sip on a lemonade, blissful in the knowledge that there will be no repercussion against your clients or your company.

So if you make wedding videos for a living, and have little time to be caught up in legal hassles involving royalties, Royalty Free Music is the way to go. If you are a newly wedded bride/groom and are getting your wedding movie made, it’d be best to ask the wedding videographer to use Royalty Free Music. You can, of course, go ahead and select some amazing music right here at Capo Productions.

What is Royalty Free Music?

Royalty fees are to be paid every time a song is used. This often leads to multiple charges on a single instance of a song. For example, if you are loudly playing the radio to attract customers to your shop, you have to pay royalty, even though royalty fees were already paid by the radio station for broadcasting the music. Commercial copyrighted music also demands that royalty fees be paid each time a track is used. So if you are an upcoming band who’s covered a track by your favorite artist in your first album, you’ll have to pay a royalty fee for every album sold.

In contrast, royalty free music requires that a license to use a track be bought only once. Once you’ve paid for a track, you are free to use it as many times as you want. There are no royalties involved, leading to the term ‘royalty free’.

Types of Royalty Free Music

There are various rights associated with music tracks, such as performance rights (right to broadcast to public), synchronization rights (right to use the track in other audio/video content), and others. Different types of royalty free licenses cover different rights. Further, some licenses might even impose a restriction on the number of times the track can be used. This means that not all royalty free music is of the pay-once-use-indefinitely kind. The Commercial Music License that Capo Productions’ music comes with, for example, allows you to use the track for commercial purposes as many times as you want, for as long as you want. You wouldn’t need to pay for a bought track ever again.

Benefits of Royalty Free music over Copyrighted Commercial music

Managing royalty fees and ensuring they are duly paid lead to many legal hassles, bringing multiple agencies into the picture. Further, the laws regarding royalty fees are completely different in different countries. This wouldn’t be a problem if the end user wasn’t affected, but unfortunately s/he is. Take the hair dresser in UK, for example, who recently found out the hard way that entertaining his clients wasn’t as simple as turning on the radio. A task as simple as playing the radio required two licenses, each protecting the interests of a different group.

With commercially copyrighted music, the onus is on the end user to find out which licenses are required, and then acquire them. This takes considerable time and monetary resources, which individuals or small enterprises rarely have.

Royalty free music eliminates nearly all the hassles. All a person or company has to do is pay once for a music track. There are no subsequent royalties to be paid to anyone, so long as the use complies with the terms mentioned in the license. So the end user is free to dedicate resources that might have been otherwise spent on recurring royalties fees. For almost all uses, therefore, royalty free music is much better suited than commercially licensed music. That is why Capo Productions offers a comprehensive library of such music to suit all situations and moods.
