We think this is the easiest and most cost effective way to access high quality production music. With many other music libraries, you’ll need to buy an additional license or pay further fees based on the number of minutes of music used. It can all get quite complicated. With production music from Cinephonix you’ll save time and money.
After you’ve downloaded music from the Cinephonix music library, you only need to do one thing: Simply let us know the details of the project you have used our music in. Just send us a simple email with the details. If your intended use is TV or Radio, your email should contain the Music Cue Sheet for the production. This allows us to report performance usage correctly to our composers.
