Hi Darrell,
I´m having a flatrate on an european royalty free archive named "Blue Valley", as I´m working as a producer as well. The flatrate costs around 1000 Euro for one year, and I think that might be a little too much for just using it in your demos, but you can also buy single tracks. They´ve got a huge selection of any kind of music included in their archive of nearly 3000 titles and I can recommend it for almost every kind of production. If you want to take a look at it, go to http://www.bluevalley-filmmusik.de. You can also give them a call, they are very friendly and helpful.
Greetings from Munich, Germany

Ed,
Thank you for that informative link.
I read through it but was unable to find the definition of commercial use as using a demo to get work. What I mean by a demo is NOT something that would be used for broadcast or distribution or used as the product but to simply "sell" the VO talent and NOT the music (or sfx) ie music bg on a demo reel to show examples of a talent's work.
From what I read it sounds that if your definition is correct and clearance is needed for use on demo reels then to have music on your demo reel from a spot you did wherein someone else produced it-- they have the right to reproduce & distribute it, not you. So you would have to obtain rights for that piece of music on your own. For example, if a talent voiced a spot for McDonald's and their "I'm lovin' it" jingle is played on it , they, the talent couldn't put it on their demo reel unless they bought or had expressed permission-- NOT from the producer of the spot but from the appropriate right holder. That's what it sounded like to me but I could be missing something.
That's why I question if, and I say IF there's a delineation or grey area concerning demos.
I too have researched this and have submitted this very question to ASCAP. I'm still waiting for their reply. These are things I'm just wondering about because through my own admittedly limited research I have not found a clear answer.
To reiterate what was stated in an earlier post-- I submit only dry auditions and I have not mixed my own demos. If I were producing pieces for use whether broadcast, podcast, webcast, phone, or anything else of that ilk I would absolutely purchase a music library.
If it turns out that I need to obtain rights for music used on my demo that was produced by someone other than me then I shall do so. Because Simon (the person doing my demos) has the rights but I do not.
I'm hoping we can get some true clarification on this issue. And if we have and I've missed it please let me know. |
