A: We offer three types of music CD volumes and libraries: 1. Broadcast Production Music Libraries CD volumes in these libraries are loaded exclusively with 60:, :30, and :10 music tracks and give you the most variety per volume, averaging 17 to 40 different underlying compositions of music on each CD. Designed primarily for broadcast production, but also useful in corporate, multi-media, or any short form productions. Each composition occurs in a :60, :30, and :10 version for a total of 55 to 100 average total cuts per disc. "Broadcast Libraries" include: Music Street MSE Series 100 Tune Ranch Note: The Metro Library is also popular for broadcast production and features both long and short-form versions. 2. Long-Form Theme Music Libraries CD volumes in these libraries feature long-form themes averaging 2-4 minutes each and often include additional mix versions such as alternate arrangements and underscores. Short-form edits are also included ( :60, :30, and tag/logo edits). Each disc will average from 10 to 20 different underlying compositions of music per disc for a total of 50-70 cuts/disc with all edits and versions included.

A: Nothing replaces the sound of real instruments and players. We especially stress live instrumentation, but do use synths and acoustic samplers where appropriate. Many CD (such as orchestral, jazz, rock, country, or blues) feature live instruments exclusively. Others feature a mixture of live instruments and hi-quality "sampled" accoustic instruments. Certain contemporary edge styles feature sampled sounds and hi-end synth. All volumes are created by professional writers and producers who balance emerging music production technologies with the irreplacable sound of live instruments. Q. How does your licensing work? A: Production Garden's flexible licensing options include both annual blanket license and lifetime blanket license plans. We also offer unique lease-to-own options.
