Who is Aura Classica, and what is Music Vine?

We are Aura Classica. A music production group who record orchestral and classical music. We also create original works under the artist moniker 'Fernweh Goldfish'. Music Vine is a production music licencing platform that we have partnered with to licence our music. We have signed over to them the right to sell licences for our music for use in different media applications. Licences for all the music found on the Aura Classica website are provided by Music Vine and are subject to their licencing terms and website terms of use.
What is production music licencing?

Production music licencing, sometimes referred to with the misnomer 'royalty-free' music, is essentially permission from the owner of a copyrighted music recording to use that recording within a media production (YouTube video, phone app, TV show, commercial, podcast etc.) in the form of a written agreement, the licence.
When do you need a licence?

If you want to use our music in a production that you are making, even if it is a personal project or a wedding video, you will need to buy a licence. Music Vine offer tailored licences, so you won't pay for usage that you don't need. For more information about the different licensing options available see the Music Vine licence information page.
Aura Classica makes music that is in the public domain. Isn't public domain music free to use?

Whilst the classical compositions themselves are out-of-copyright, the musical arrangements and the recordings are created by Aura Classica and are subject to copyright law. Their use without a licencing agreement is prohibited.
How does it work?

Browse the Aura Classica site for the music that you would like to use in your production and click the □→ symbol for the track. This will then take you to the corresponding page on the Music Vine website. Once there, you can click the shopping cart icon which will bring up the licencing options box where you can choose the licence that you need for your production. Our music (as is all the music on the Music Vine platform) is also available with their monthly/annual subscription-based licencing options. Click Here for more information about them. Music Vine has a wide range of genres and styles and their quality is the best in the business.
Do you need a licence to play the music at an event?

Yes. This licence option is available with Music Vine. Choose the 'Promotional, Branded, Advert' box when you add the music to the cart and you will find the options that you need.
Once you have bought a licence, can the music be used again in future videos?

The Music Vine 'Pay-Per-Use' licences are applicable to one production only and you will need to buy another licence to use it again. If you plan to make a lot of videos with our music, you might find that a subscription option could be cost effective for you. Read more about them here.
What about reversions and cut-downs of the same project?

You can select the number of edits you require when choosing your licence options. If you need to chat further about your usage, get in touch with the Music Vine Custom Licence team to discuss your needs.

How to clear YouTube copyright claims

Content ID is a digital finger-printing system that helps identify copyrighted material used in YouTube videos. Music Vine uses this technology to protect the intellectual property of our recordings. We regret that this causes an inconvenience to our customers, having to clear the claim, but if we do not protect our music in this way, we leave ourselves open to fraudsters who might register our music for themselves in order to claim the advertising revenue.

If you have purchased a licence, it is easy to clear a copyright claim. It's important to know too, that this is not the same as a copyright 'strike' on your channel and clearing these claims is a common practice in the YouTube video upload process.

You can clear a claim directly in YouTube Studio by following these steps:

Hover your mouse over 'Copyright Claim' and click 'See Details'.
In the 'Actions' section, select 'Dispute'.
Check the box 'My dispute isn't based on any of the reasons above...' and continue.
Select the 'Licence' option and continue.
Check the box 'I have permission to use the content from the copyright owner.' and continue.
Fill the box with your Music Vine licence details with a note to say that you purchased a licence from the Music Vine website, check the mandatory boxes and hit 'Submit'.

Alternatively, contact Music Vine here to have them clear the claim on your behalf.
