Licensing Music
When it comes to licensing music, there are two distinct copyrighted works: the musical composition (the lyrics and musical score) and the sound recording (what you actually hear). A synchronization license (“sync” license) is a license that allows you to use the musical composition in an audio-visual work. And while a sync license would allow you to, for example, record a cover-version of the song and use it in your audio-visual creation, it doesn’t give you the right to use the sound recording made popular by the recording artists.
In order to use that recording, you’ll need a master use license. Together, a master use license and a sync license will allow you to add your favorite songs to the films and video games you create. To know more visit our website.
