Video game music licensing for indie games

A licensed song can give an indie game a sound of its own, from the title screen to the trailer.

In the game, and around it

Using a song inside the game (menus, levels, credits) and using it to promote the game (trailers, store pages, gameplay videos) are different uses. Say which ones you need in the request: one license can cover both.

Common questions

Do I need a license to use a song in my game?
Yes. A game uses the song together with moving pictures, so it needs a sync license for the composition and a master license for the recording.
Can I use the same song in the game trailer?
Yes, if the license covers both uses. Ask for both in the same request.
Is there an instrumental version?
Wildlands has one, useful under dialogue and menus.

License a song

One request covers the recording (master) and the composition (sync). It asks for four things: coverage, territory, time range and usage.
