Well this litte comparison shall demonstrate you what are the differences between our productions and others like big royalty free music portals.

As you know all our productions in our online shop are usable for commercial purposes. This includes everything from film, tv, computergames, web, cinema, motion picture advertising and much much more. We only offer one clear license type. We do not make a difference in the usage and the media you wish to use our music for. One license fits all! So you can use the music in cinema spots as well as for websites, all with the same simple and cost efficent license.

The Competitors:
So lets take a common price that you pay by purchasing from one of the big royalty free music sites: One track licensed for film (only national) costs around  € 180 (average price) and you are limited to use the music only within the purchased license type.

Wow that´s pretty expensive don´t you think? You should also take in consideration that this is only licensed for one category or media. Most of these big platforms are pretty inflexibel. That means in case you want to use the same track in a web project additional license costs have to be payed.

Do you think this is fair? We do not! And that is exactly the reason why we offer our music for fair prices and conditions to our customers. We understand our customers as long time partners and not as cows we can milk. As example you can get a music album from us with 12 high quality tracks and you are allowed to use the music in every commercial project you like, without time limits or country boundaries for € 14.95.

So let´s bring it to the point and create an overview over the big differences between our productions and others:

Hartwigmedia Productions	Others (like big royalty free music portals)
fair prices for the customers	fair prices for the portals and the people behind
high quality music (48 khz, 24 Bit, Wav)	sometimes poor audio quality (just like 44,1 khz, 16 bit, MP3)
music directly from the Composer (professionals with over ten years experience)	music from mostly unknown musicians , sometimes with a leak of experience
royalty free music with clear licenses and terms of service	royalty free music with sometimes extensive and still unclear license restrictions
music is not bound to one media like web, film or games	music is normally bound to a media as web, film, games and has to be licensed again
commercial use allowed, without restrictions	highly depends on the license model you can choose
useable without time limits or country boundaries	normally bound to the country, often you only get a limited license (e.g. usable for one year)

As we only have collected the facts to show you how the market situation is, now it is up to you to decide where you want to get your music for your next production.
