What is a music license?
A music license is a contract agreement between the music makers (Almalibrestudios.com) and you. It is neccesary to have in order to legally synchronize (add) our music to your media projects. It also grants you the right to legally use and distribute your final production. This license is a single use, non-transferrable agreement which does not expire.

What is Royalty-Free?
Royalty-Free does not imply that the production music that you are purchasing is free. It means that the production music that you are purchasing from us is free of any future royalties generated by the sale and distribution of your project to the music makers, in this case Almalibrestudios.com. In other words, there are no extra hidden fees or money that will be owed to Almalibrestudios.com once your project starts to generate income.
All of the production music available for licensing at Almalibrestudios.com is royalty-free.
Non-Exclusive versus Exclusive?
A Non-Exclusive license grants you the right to use our production music recordings in any way that you see fit for your commercial or non-commercial project. However, Almalibrestudios.com retains the composition, copyright and publishing rights of the recording. We also retain the right to license the same music to other clients.
If you are interested in having the music be exclusive to your project then consider getting an Exclusive License. With this type of licensing the music you purchase becomes unavailable to anyone else. Please contact us for details on how to obtain an Exclusive License.
What are the music license restrictions?
- You may not, under any circumstances, resell the music as royalty-free stock music, redistribute or re-package the music.
- You may not sell or market the music as your own even if you have re-arranged or remixed it, added your voice or other instruments to the music.
- You also may not sing or play an instrument over the music and sell or distribute it as part of your album or single, as this is strictly “Production Music” intended for use as Background music only.
You may, however, add your voice or instrument to our recordings as long as it is done in a narrative nature where our recording still plays the part of background music (e.g. audio books, self-healing therapy, storytelling, training audio, etc).
Our licensing does not cover any public performance rights. If you plan on publicly performing your production (e.g. on TV or Radio advertising) then you must fill out ‘cue sheets’ with the networks involved and their respective performance rights organizations (PRO) such as BMI or ASCAP.
*Almalibre Studios is a proud member of ASCAP.
