PRODUCTION MUSIC

Production music is written and recorded specifically for the synchronisation or dubbing in production including advertisements, films, DVDs, TV and radio programs, websites, online games, on-hold music and ringtones.

Licences issued by APRA AMCOS cover the right to reproduce the musical work and the sound recording. You pay for your licence once you've completed your production.

Yes. If you are using music in your audio or audio visual production, you must seek permission from the copyright holders. For the musical work (the composition itself), you will require the permission of the composer (usually represented by a Publisher). For the sound recording of the track you require the permission of the Record Label.

Our AMCOS Production Music licences are unique as we can provide clearance for both the sound recording and the musical work under the one licence. Licence fees are collected and then distributed as royalties to the copyright owners.

With over 1,000,000 APRA AMCOS-controlled production music works to choose from, there's plenty of variety.

All our production music suppliers can help you find what you're looking for. Simply provide them with detailed criteria and they will offer you several options to choose from. See all suppliers.
