What Does Audio Network Do?
What is Production Music?
Audio Network specializes in production music – music composed, recorded, and curated specifically for audiovisual use. This music is designed to be easily searchable, high quality, and suitable for licensing across various media formats and platforms.
How Does Audio Network’s Licensing Work?
Audio Network licenses tracks per project or video, with subscriptions and licences tailored to cover different types of usage. Some licences can be granted in perpetuity and cover worldwide usage, so where that applies, music can be used indefinitely within the scope of the licence.
Licences cover the essential rights needed to use music in sync with audiovisual content, typically combining synchronization (sync) rights and master (dubbing) rights, so creators can confidently use tracks without separately clearing each component. This is a key advantage vs commercial music, where you typically need separate permissions for sync and master rights
Audio Network offers three main ways to licence music, so customers pay only for what they need:
| Licence type | What it covers | Best for |
| Unlimited subscription | One annual licence covering a full year of content for a whole team, with the option to add sound effects | Teams running multiple projects throughout the year — the most popular option |
| Per-use | Clears a single video or episode, priced per track; advertising licences include cutdowns | The quickest route when you’ve already found the track you need |
| Per-project | Covers multiple videos and tracks at a price tailored to the project | Ad campaigns or a full TV series |
