Audio Network

Owns and licenses production music catalog

Overview

Audio Network provides original music for film, television, and video productions by offering a catalog of over 200,000 tracks that are all owned by Audio Network. The company licenses this music directly to clients, who can buy licenses for individual tracks or subscribe for broader access. All rights, including performance and master rights, are pre-cleared for worldwide use in perpetuity, simplifying the licensing process. The music is created by a diverse roster of more than 1,000 composers, artists, and producers, and the catalog can be searched by genre, mood, and instrumentation. The key differentiator is the direct ownership model that enables a simple, predictable licensing experience without dealing with multiple rights holders. The company aims to provide high-quality music with straightforward licensing for content creators, removing legal and complexity barriers in sync licensing for commercials, films, corporate videos, and online content.
