Versatile and affordable MCPSI production music represents quality. Our production music is written by professional songwriters and composers – including some of the big names.

• The royalties and other fees referred to in this rate card apply only to production music: library musical works and sound recordings, the copyrights in which are administered by MCPSI. Making an enquiry to MCPSI and arranging a licence in advance of recording is essential in the case of any other type of copyright music. In these cases, if the copyright owner is willing to grant a licence, the details of royalties, other fees and terms and conditions will be quoted for the various categories and territories.

• Where the Terms and Conditions has not been agreed to, and/or a valid licence is not obtained at the correct time, the production music libraries reserve all their rights. If it is considered appropriate, retrospective licences may be granted, but these are likely to be subject to significantly higher royalty fees that those referred to in this rate card.

• In using a production music library recording as the source from which a musical work is reproduced, a dubbing fee is payable. However all rates expressed at inclusive of dubbing fees.

• Productions which have been altered in any way are considered to be separate productions, and require a separate licence and fees to be paid.

• The standard terms on which licences are granted for the use of production music libraries’ works are printed on the invoice issued, in addition to those contained within this rate card.

• Provided the necessary territorial clearance has been obtained, productions varying only in language translation will not require a separate licence to be issued and additional fees paid.

• Please see http://www.imro.ie/music-users/mcpsi/production-music/ for full terms and conditions, in addition to those contained with this rate card.
