N.B. Unauthorised synchronisation use, copying, hiring, lending, broadcast and public performance are strictly prohibited.

Reporting your music use

As with any music used in productions for broadcast or cinema, you’ll need to fill in a music cue sheet. Please send a copy of the cue sheet to Audio Network. You can either post us the copy of the completed forms to:

      Audio Network Australia Pty Ltd
      Level 2, Suite 2
      645 Harris St
      Ultimo
      NSW 2007
      Australia

Or email the details to info@audionetwork.com.au

Changes to your production

The download rate covers use of the track in only one production. If you want to use the same track in two different productions you will need to download the track twice. Any changes to your original production, trailers etc, will classify as a ‘new’ production.

If you need to use several tracks in your production(s), or if you need lots of versions of tracks, a blanket licence will usually work out cheaper. Our rate card lists all available options for blanket licences, or call our sales team on +61 2 8204 0100 for more details.

Selling your production

A retail licence is required when a production is duplicated on any format and made available for retail sale to the general public. Contact us to arrange an instant retail licence covering all your requirements. See below for our standard retail licence fees. A retail licence is not necessary if your production is simply for broadcast, home, student, corporate or charitable use.

Using our music in other ways

Our standard licences are issued for synchronising our music with your pictures (audio-visual use). Music-only productions (such as audio-only CDs) require a special licence agreement, without which, music may not be re-recorded, duplicated or re-sold. Please contact us for details.

Public performance of your production

Audio Network is a member of the APRA in Australia/New Zealand and has assigned the performing rights in its music to APRA to administer. This means that every public performance (broadcast, website use, live events etc) of your production needs to be covered by a APRA licence. It is the responsibility of the broadcaster, live music venue or website owner (not the production company) to clear this licence with the APRA.

APRA then divides up this licence fee income amongst composers and publishers whose music has been used. This is why it is important for production companies to fill in cue sheets so the broadcaster can give the local performing rights society information on what music it has used.

Audio Network owns all of its sound recordings, so no additional PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) licence is required for public performance of our sound recordings.
