Royalty free music
Royalty free music is written specifically for media productions — for film, advertising, YouTube, podcasts and presentations. At Ashfallmusic it comes free of PRO royalties and free of neighbouring-rights fees: you buy the usage right once, directly from the rights holder, and the covered use incurs no ongoing fees to any collecting society.
Four steps from track to finished licence — no enquiry, no waiting, no follow-up licensing.
A buyout licence is paid for once and covers the licensed production in perpetuity. That is the decisive difference to subscription platforms: there, clearance for new productions ends when you cancel — with a buyout licence your finished production stays usable for good.
The diagram shows the principle. The provider's licence terms always take precedence.
What matters is where the music is finally heard. Every licence covers one named production and is paid for once.
