i General
What is library music?

Library music is pre-existing music created to be licensed for videos, films, ads, branded content, online projects and other productions.

Nuanthem tracks are ready to use under a licence, without commissioning a new original composition from scratch.

Is Nuanthem royalty-free music?

Nuanthem is not built as anonymous royalty-free background music.

Licences give clients the right to use the music in their projects, while the music remains authored, credited and connected to real artists, composers and publishers.

Do you use AI-generated music?

No. Nuanthem does not sell AI-generated library music.

Every track is created by human artists, producers and composers. We believe music licensing should support real creators, protect authorship and respect the craft behind the music.

Does licensing Nuanthem music support artists?

Yes. Nuanthem is built around human-made music and fair collaboration with artists, composers and producers.

Licensing a track helps support the people behind the music, instead of treating music as anonymous background content.

Why do I need an account?

Your account gives you access to your purchased licences, available downloads, invoices and track-related information.

It also helps Nuanthem keep your licensed uses organized.

Downloads & delivery
What files are included with my licence?

The included files depend on the licence you choose.

Creator includes MP3. Commercial and Campaign include MP3 and WAV. Stems or separate audio tracks are only available through a custom sync agreement when approved.

Can I download a track before buying a licence?

You may download a preview file to test the track in your edit.

This download does not grant any usage rights. A valid licence is required for any final, public, commercial or broadcast use.

How long does delivery take after purchase?

For fixed licences, delivery is immediate after purchase. You can access the files included with your licence from your account.

Custom music, custom edits, stems or sync deliveries are handled separately, with timelines confirmed according to the brief.

Custom music
How does a custom music project work?

Custom music starts with a brief, references and usage details.

Nuanthem defines the scope, timeline, deliverables and rights before production starts, then creates the music through a guided process that may include feedback rounds, edits, alternate versions and final delivery formats.

Can Nuanthem create custom music for my project?

Yes. Nuanthem creates original music, custom edits, adaptations and bespoke compositions for agencies, brands, directors, production companies and independent creators.

Each project is quoted based on the brief, usage, deadline, formats, exclusivity and rights required.

Can I send reference tracks or adapt a library track?

Yes. Reference tracks are welcome. They help define the mood, energy, genre, structure and production style you are looking for.

Nuanthem may also be able to create a custom edit, shorter version, alternate structure, extended version or adapted arrangement based on an existing library track.

Can I request revisions on custom music?

Yes. Custom music projects can include client feedback rounds, depending on the scope agreed in the quote.

Revisions may include edits to the structure, timing, energy, arrangement, mix direction or alternate versions. The number of revision rounds, deadlines and deliverables are defined before production starts.

Additional changes outside the agreed scope may require a revised quote.

Choosing a licence
Which licence should I choose?

Choose your licence based on how the music will be used.

Creator is made for independent online content. Commercial is for client work, branded content or professional online projects. Campaign is for larger digital campaigns and multiple online formats.

For TV, broadcast, cinema, radio, YouTube ads, exclusivity or wider campaigns, please request a custom quote.

What is included in a fixed licence?

A fixed licence gives you the right to use one Nuanthem track in one online production, within the limits of the licence you choose.

Each licence defines the type of project, the allowed usage and the files included.

Can I use the music for a client project?

Yes, but you need the right licence.

Commercial is made for client work, branded content and professional online projects. Creator is not intended for client or brand work.

Can I monetize my video?

Yes, monetized online content is allowed when it stays within the scope of your licence.

Paid advertising, YouTube ads, sponsored media campaigns and broadcast uses require a custom sync quote.

Usage & rights
Can I use a track in more than one video?

Fixed licences cover one online production only.

If you need to use the same track across several videos, edits, versions, platforms or campaign formats, please request a custom quote.

Can I use Nuanthem tracks on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or Vimeo?

Yes, as long as your use matches the licence you choose.

Organic social content can be covered by a fixed licence. Paid ads, sponsored campaigns, media spend or wider brand campaigns require a custom sync quote.

Are YouTube ads included?

No. YouTube ads and paid advertising are not included in fixed licences.

If your project involves paid media, pre-roll ads, sponsored campaigns, social ads or any promotional campaign with media spend, please request a custom quote.

Can I use the music on TV, radio, cinema or broadcast?

No. Fixed licences do not cover TV, broadcast, cinema or radio use.

These uses require a custom sync quote, so the licence can match the production, territory, duration and type of broadcast.

What is a cue sheet, and does Nuanthem provide cue sheet information?

A cue sheet is a document used in film, TV, broadcast and audiovisual productions to report the music used in a programme. It usually includes details such as the track title, composer, publisher, performing rights organisation, duration and usage type.

Nuanthem can provide the relevant cue sheet information for licensed tracks when needed, including composer, publisher, PRO, master owner and available track identifiers. For broadcast or editorial television use, cue sheet reporting may be required by the production or broadcaster.

Can I edit or cut the track?

Yes. You may cut, fade, loop or adapt the track to fit your edit, as long as the music remains part of your licensed production.

You may not resell, redistribute, remix, sample or release the track as a standalone music product.

Can I claim ownership of the music?

No. A licence gives you permission to use the music in your project.

It does not transfer ownership of the composition, master recording or publishing rights.

Claims & support
What happens if my usage changes after purchase?

If your project grows beyond the original licence scope, contact Nuanthem before release or distribution.
