The new system is designed to give production companies and users of production music greater flexibility and control over the use of music in their productions, whilst maintaining high standards of production value. The new system is also designed to provide more financial consistency for production companies in preparing quotes for clients. Dave Cohen, Creative Director, said: "Throughout the many years of licensing our music to production companies based on the MCPS licensing structure, so many companies were frustrated by the limitation that the 30 second unit system yielded.
They found that when creating their programs, either they were bound by the quantity of music use forecast in their original quotations and hence could not deviate from this, or that client requests for extended use of music or changing project needs dramatically increased the project costs and/or ate into their profits. "We found that companies wanted a more consistent fee that they could reliably build into their quotations, as well as a quicker, easier, more comprehensive licensing structure. We wanted to craft a system that addresses these needs without forcing production companies down the much less desired royalty free route.
We hope and feel that this new system will do just that." The new Broco Media music licensing system covers each track to unlimited duration per production, meaning that users can repeat and re-use any portion of the track, without additional cost implications.
