Music License

Hey,

I am new to audio jungle and I LOVE it!!!! Awesome tracks on here…such talent!!!! I am a singer/songwriter and I want to purchase a license for some of the tracks on here to record and sing publicly….which license would I need? Any info would be appreciated

Music licensed under regular license can not be used in a work intended for resale. So, you will definitely need extended license, which allows use in a work created for resale, i.e. your songs.

Thank you so much for your reply .....These are royalty free tracks, right? So that means once I pay for the license the song itself is mine (the words I put to the music and the music)? I understand the creator owns the file itself and can continue to sell that music file at their discretion, but once I purchase the license and make a recording can I claim the copyright to my specific production?? Thanks again

The music is royalty free, meaning you pay only once for it (for use within a single project, needless to say) and then, no matters what you do, the author can’t claim any additional royalties or fees from you.
You can copyright your derivative work including lyrics, melody and recording, but the backing track remains a property of the original copyright holder. I believe you can negotiate with the author and buy the rights, but it’s unnecessary and not cheap.

I would say that no, you can’t claim copyright to the music as we the authors own that. Even if you add vocals to it – we still own the copyright to the actual music – nothing changes that. Think of it like buying a CD from bigfish etc… you are actually buying a license that you can use for your songs. You don’t own the copyright to their sounds/music snippets.

Hey, friend
check these Licenses.
I’d answer your question, but I’m afraid my knowledge of language won’t allow me to get through all the terms there on the fly)

And you know what, he even can sample loops from a CD from bigifish, make a song and copyright it. The only thing he would need is purchasing a Mechanical License for royalties.

Yes that’s what I meant. He would own the copyright to his song but not to our music. I face the example of it being the same as licensing an audio cd

Hard questions. The license terms says that “you can reproduce the work in a music track”.

Does that mean you can buy an extended license of any track, add your vocals and resell it elsewhere (or even here in audiojungle)?

I think current license terms are extremely open to abuse. In my opinion, license agreement shouldn’t allow resale of the work in a music track in any case.

Hope someone from the staff can clarify this.

But it’s an interesting thing, my friends!
As I understand, kysongbird78 wants to buy music, put the words on it and do some cool gigs by himself. He’s not going to copyright the music part (is he?:) ). So could he perform with such work on a commercial basis? Does our extended license allow it?

upd.: so many simultaneous answers here))
