Royalty free music (aka stock music) refers to a type of music license that allows the buyer to pay the music license ONLY ONCE and use the music for as long as he wants. For example, imagine that you buy a royalty-free music license for a video that you are going to upload to your Youtube channel.

Absolutely not. Royalty free is the licensing option made specifically for copyrighted material. There is no need for a license if you use public domain, no copyright music.

We offer 3 simple music license options:

1. PERSONAL LICENSE - The Personal License covers many popular types of use, such as internet videos, corporate videos, and all non-commercially distributed projects. This license can be used for an unlimited number of projects, worldwide in perpetuity. The Standard License is also included when you purchase a Premium License.

2. COMMERCIAL LICENSE - The Commercial License covers advertising use in a single territory on TV, on the radio, in theaters, out of home, and at points of sale and industrial events. It also includes unlimited distribution worldwide of projects intended to generate revenue to you.This license can be used for a single project in perpetuity.

3. NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL TV/RADIO ADVERTISING - In addition to the uses authorised by the extended license, this license allows for music to be used in National and International TV or Radio Advertising for 1 Year.

Please see our pricing page for more details. If you are unsure of which license is right for your needs, simply contact us.

Yes. The license permits usage of the music in a personal or professional context for yourself, your clients or your employer. Studio 66 music may not be sold by itself, transferred, bartered, traded, shared, leased, or given away to any other party and the license may not be subleased to a third party. Our music cannot be resold except to the extent that is embedded in your own work as part of a finished end product. You may not market the music as your own even if you add other instruments or a voice to the music. You may not sing over the music and sell or distribute the song.

The above also applies to any music Studio 66 may offer free of charge on our website, including watermarked previews. Please see the Limitations of Use section of our pricing page for further information.

If you are unsure whether the usage you are entertaining falls under our limitations of use, please contact us.

Did you know that, after your project is completed and turned in for broadcast, the music it contains will be monitored by music performance rights organizations (PROs)?

PROs are music rights management organizations who have existing agreements with TV networks, radio stations, and other public broadcasters. In the United States, they’re known as ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC; in the UK, PRS; in Canada, SOCAN; and so on.

Broadcasting stations are obligated to report to PROs all the music used in their content. Based on this information, PROs will remunerate artists based on how often their music is played.

To ensure that our composers are compensated by the relevant Performing Rights Organisations (PRO), cue sheets must be completed for productions that are publicly broadcast, such as TV, radio, film and theatrical productions and advertisements.

For more information please see our PRO page dedicated to cue sheets.

If you are unsure whether your project falls under the scope of public performance, please contact your local Performance Rights Organization (PRO).

Music is reported in a cue sheet, which contains details for all the music used in an audio or audiovisual production dedicated for public broadcast.

All composer and publisher information for our music is available on demand at info@studio66sa.com. Simply provide us with the title(s) of the music track(s) used and we will supply you with the necessary cue sheet information.

You do NOT need to register or log in, in order to make the purchase. However, you may opt in to create the account during the checkout if you wish to access your purchases later or to re-use your billing information in the future.

When purchasing tracks, you have two different options.

1. You can buy the tracks individually by adding them to your cart and paying as you go.

2. You can sign up for a subscription and have access to our entire library of music for the duration of one year. There are 3 subscription options available depending on how you plan to use the music. See the Pricing Page for details.

You can download the files right after the payment is completed. The download links will appear on the order confirmation page. You will also receive the confirmation email that includes the download links.

Subscribing allows you to have access to our entire library in wav, mp3 or FLAC format for one year. For each song, you will get a license certificate that authorizes you to use the music.

Once the subscription is purchased, you will instantly gain access to the Member Pages allowing you to download the song files and the certificates for each individual track by browsing through the music categories.

After you purchase a song(s) or license subscription from our site, you will have the option to download the file in superior quality .wav format as well as in MP3 and FLAC formats for complete flexibility. Some customers may choose to use the broadcast quality .wav sound files for television or radio projects as well as for DVDs or CD-ROMs. However, many customers do need the compressed MP3 version for web-based projects, such as background music for a website.

No. The “Studio 66” voiceover is only present in the music that you preview. After you purchase a song(s) or license subscription, you will be able to download a clean copy.

You can download all the tracks and license certificates for one year following the subscription purchase but the licenses for the songs are valid forever. That means that even after the end of the subscription period you can continue to use your downloaded songs forever.

We accept credits and Paypal.

We fully understand the need for security when making online purchases. Studio 66 uses a state-of-the-art encrypted processing system. Your credit card information is used only by our bank and is processed on a separate, secure server.

NO! Our music is available to license for synchronization in media productions (websites, videos, DVDs, TV broadcasts, films, games, etc.) as background music. You cannot sing over the music track or add an instrument and market the results as your own music or as your song, even if the original track has been transformed or edited or if you add other instruments or vocals to the music. You can however adapt the music for your film or video by cutting, fading, editing the length or adding voice over.

No! Studio 66 respects your privacy and will not share, give, rent or sell the e-mail addresses or personal contact information of our clients to any third party. In addition, Studio 66 will only send information and e-mails to customers who have expressly given us permission to do so.
