Have you tried contacting them to ask the question?
If you think there’s enough money there then a letter from an attorney may be the answer.
I haven’t heard of any.
I do a master mix, DnB, bed, loop and stinger/bumper. I build my 15, 30 and 60s from the master mix. If I needed to I could grab something from the DnB or bed.
Here’s a couple of links for more insight.
Over the top for my taste but then again you would have to consider the library and their past successes. BTW, you need a lawyer, I’m not one. Just my two cents worth.
If I understand your question.
Sound Recording = MECHANICAL INCOME
Mechanical royalties is money paid by a company to a song’s copyright holder for the right to use the song in “devices serving to reproduce the composition mechanically,” in other words, vinyl, cassettes and compact discs.
Pro Split (50% Writer Income 50% Publishing Income) = PUBLIC PERFORMANCE
Any time (well almost) a version of a song is performed publicly, whether live or on record, in concert or over radio or television, the copyright holder is entitled to public performance royalties.
Publisher Split May Mean – SYNCHRONIZATION
A synchronization license is a permit to use a song in a movie or television show. The producer must obtain a “synch license” from the copyright holder, often for a one time fee.
In your case you, as the copyright holder, are assigning those rights to the library. Either exclusively or non-exclusively depending on your contract.
Just listed them here. https://musiclibraryreport.com/h-to-l/heavy-harmony-library/. Please leave any comments there.
Thanks for the heads up!
Okay, found it. Your first reply was stuck in the “pending” folder and that’s why you could not repeat it. I released the “pending” reply just now.

Oh yeah, the gotcha is to get it on the gross, not after expenses! From what I understand films will typically write off anything and everything.
That’s really a personal decision on whether you think the potential is there but I wouldn’t give it to him/her exclusively.
Thanks for the heads up. Please post any further responses here:
Hey, I know that guy! 🙂
Thanks Advice. Yeah “pay to play” is a big hassle as those companies are very touchy about their business model. I don’t have the time or energy to fight off their lawyers!
Don’t know who you are referring to. Best to go to the actual library listing and leave your question there. There are a number of ways to gain free access.
