“I know I need music for my game, but I know nothing about music licensing. I just want music in my game that I can use without any issues.”

I get it, you’re a game developer, not a music licensing expert. However, if you are developing a game and thinking about hiring a composer to create custom music you do need to be aware of a few basic music licensing options that need to be discussed when on boarding a music composer. If not, you could find yourself with a lot of problems later down the line when there is confusion over who owns what, who gets what, and who can do what with the music.

This talk is an introduction to music licensing from the perspective of a game developer and will cover basic music licensing options, typical composer rates, factors a composer considers when determining the cost of music, points of negotiation (especially if you are budget restricted indie studio), and a few other important questions that you need to considered that will help you feel more comfortable and confident when talking with music composers.
