Licensing

The dBc creates music packages based on your budget and volume of music needed. We remove the burden of administration and music search. We discuss the scope of your project and ensure you have the all the rights required for your production.

We use the following licensing methods:

• Needle Drop  licensing (pay a license fee per "play" in your production)
• Production Blanket  (Unlimited music for a single license fee, based on clearance and production length runtime)
• Annual Production Blanket  (A flat fee based on the volume of music used over a year)
• The right composer for your project- Custom Scoring
• Regardless of your territory, we can issue you a license directly

Note: License fees quoted outside of North America are in US dollars

Talk to us to inquire about the best packages and rates to suit your project.
