production uses, available for immediate licensing and download. You can use
the tracks here for any kind of productions such as feature-length films, TV shows,

and much more. Our content works great for all types of creative and commercial
productions, whether for broadcast or non-broadcast uses.
At AudioSparx, The Focus is on Quality
In business for 16 years now, AudioSparx is very successful at attracting music artists
from all parts of the world. We currently have 842,000 music tracks online from over
8,192 top artists and composers, including many whose music is used for major Hollywood
motion pictures, national TV commercials, and much more (see our
Hollywood A-List).
Every month, 50 to 100 new artists sign with the AudioSparx label, and thousands of new
tracks are added to our library each month, too,
guaranteeing a constant source of new and
exciting music in every genre imaginable.

AudioSparx offers music from numerous winners of
Grammys, Emmys, International Tellys, ASCAP and BMI awards
AudioSparx is a Quality Leader
Part of the reason we are able to attract such top composers and artists to
AudioSparx is that we allow them to set their own pricing, rather than
dictating to them what their pricing will be. Each artist or composer
sets their own price for each of their music tracks. This allows
AudioSparx to attract many world-class artists and composers who's
music is worth more than the prices charged by other web sites that utilize
a one-price-fits-all approach.
Let's face it, all music is not created equally. Some tracks and some artists are better than others.
Hence a one-price-fits-all strategy is a fundamentally wrong approach to take to accommodate
the caliber of
exceptionally talented artists and composers who sell here.
Our flexible pricing strategy results in the largest and
highest-quality commercial music resource in the world

Variant Music Pricing
Another compelling advantage of AudioSparx for our clients is
that we utilize variant pricing for music tracks, where pricing for each track license
varies based on how a client intends to use the track in their production.
The advantage this has is that for a project that is small in scope, or
local-use only, or short-term use only, the music is priced lower than for
a project which has a larger scope or that has a long-term need for the music,
or which is broadcast or distributed widely.
As you add a music track to your shopping
cart, you choose the license type you need, and then configure the parameters of the license.
The price fluctuates up or down from the listed "Base Price" depending on which license
you select and the license parameters you select. Here is a pricing example for the
same track, with the same type of license (e.g. an Internet Commercial license), but for different
license term periods:
License Type |
Base Price |
Term Period |
Price Range |
Internet Commercial Use |
$44.95 |
One Week |
$34.95 |
Internet Commercial Use |
$44.95 |
One Month |
$44.95 |
Internet Commercial Use |
$44.95 |
One Year |
$64.95 |
Internet Commercial Use |
$44.95 |
Perpetuity (i.e.
forever!) |
$99.95 |
Consequently, you will find that our music pricing varies widely based on which specific track you select, which
media you want to use it for, and the media-specific license parameters you configure. For short-term or local uses you might pay in the range of
$10 to $50 dollars, whereas for a significant or long-term use for a track
you can expect to pay between $100 and $1000 or more, depending on which
artist's track it is, the duration of the track, the complexity of the track
and various other factors. Remember, AudioSparx offers music from the
top composers in the commercial music industry - our focus is on QUALITY,
not cheap music!
Music Discount Requests
We understand here at AudioSparx that each project is different from the next. There
may be circumstances that our online pricing system just
does not take into account. Consequently, we are always open to
requests for discounted pricing. If there are
circumstances for your company, situation, project or intended use that warrants a lower price, we
can very likely work out a favorable discount for you. We hate to lose business, and
we love to wheel and deal, so please don't hesitate to submit a
discount request and we will try to work it out for you. If
we can't exactly match your discount request, we will often make a
counter-offer.
To request a discount, add any music track to your shopping cart and
as you do so, configure the desired license and when the price is
displayed for you, click the on-screen option to send us a discount
request. Let us know why you think a discount is in order and
we'll be happy to review it for you and try to work it out for you.

MusicPacks
and SoundPacks Are a Great Value
Many of the composers and artists that sell music and sound effects at
AudioSparx create "MusicPacks" and "SoundPacks" of their content. The MusicPacks
and
SoundPacks they create give you a great way to purchase multiple tracks at
once at a substantial discount on a per-track basis. You will
typically enjoy a discount of at least 30% on a per-track basis, or in some
cases much more. Some of our composers include over 100 music tracks
or sound effects in each pack, giving you a super savings for what amounts
to purchasing a "mini-library" of new tracks for your production work!
Pricing for Sound Effects and Beats 'n Loops
Our site has over 304,000 sound effects and instrument sample files for
composers. Pricing for each track of this type generally varies between $1 and around $15+,
depending on the duration, complexity, rarity, ease of production, and various
other factors. To purchase individual sound effects,
register online here and
then add the tracks you want to your shopping cart, checkout, make payment,
then download the tracks.

Every track you purchase here can be downloaded in the following file
formats:

well or we can create a custom encoding if you need something specific
