Deep Elm Licensing FAQ / Quote Request

	Contact John at licensing@deepelm.com

FAQ #1) My project is non-commercial, not-for-profit, labor of love, etc. Can I use music from your artists for free or in exchange for credits / links?

NO. Free / Gratis Usage is Not Permitted nor allowed under any circumstance. Credits are appreciated, but they cannot pay for expenses such as recording, mixing, mastering, promotion, web, legal and other operating expenses not to mention the massive amount of time and energy that goes into making timeless music of this quality. Any usage of copyrighted music in synchronization with video for any purpose whatsoever is subject to a paid licensing agreement. We offer affordable licensing rates for a wide range of uses.

FAQ #2) Does Deep Elm control both Master Use and Synchronization rights?

YES. Both "sides" of all music in Deep Elm's licensing catalog is pre-cleared. You only need to deal with us to obtain all necessary rights for usage. There is never a need to contact a separate publishing company or the band as they will simply instruct you to contact Deep Elm.

FAQ #3) Do you have instrumentals available?

YES. We have instrumental mixes available upon request in both mp3 and WAV formats for the majority of songs in our catalog.

FAQ #4) Are stems available?

YES. Stems are available for most songs upon request.

FAQ #5) Can I review / download music to see if it works with my project?

YES. You can find our entire catalog at deepelm.com/music. If you want to know the cost of licensing the music for your project, please request a quote (see FAQ #7 below). Important: All uses of music in synchronization with video are subject to an authorized licensing agreement for which there is a fee.

FAQ #6) Do you have a standard ratecard of prices?
