We have several ways to procure music or lyrics from our catalog see the various options below.
Synch
license
Our most common license granted is a synchronization license. A synch license is any license granted for a song used in a film, film trailer, video game, television commercial, web video etc. A synch is music that is synchronized to any moving image across multiple mediums.
Master
license
Often a synch use also needs to be cleared on the master side. Especially if the original artist voice is used. A master license refers to the recorded side of the music business (not publishing), and is typically handled by the record label who released the track and holds the master rights to the song. ROBA handles the masters for many of its songs. To find out what songs we can clear both master and publishing on, get in touch with our sync department. Many of our master rights are digitally distributed via our unit ROBA Label Services.
Print
License
Do you want to use one of our famous song lyrics in a book or magazine, on merchandise, a lyrics or app? That is an example of a print license, which is any license that is not with moving images and is just the lyrical element. Sheet music also falls under our print license. Please contact our print licensing department. We also distribute sheet music online via our unit ROBA Digital Sheets.

License
