GRATIS LIBRARY SEEING SUCCESS IN FEATURES

The library already contains 10,000 tracks, and has been called on by major studios, networks, and cable producers, as well as individual filmmakers. To date, 21 features have been completely scored using the Gratis Music library, including 12 for Lifetime and eight independents. The thematic and filmic nature of the library's music makes it easy to edit. Visitors to the library's site can search by keywords, descriptions and even recommendations.

The company offers online licensing, rate quotes, cue sheets and training videos that make it easy to search and preview its catalog. Full bandwidth music files can be downloaded via the Website too. In addition, composers and songwriters can audition by uploading their music tracks to the site.
 
According to Richard Band, Gratis is actively extending its international reach with representation across Europe and the Far East. The recent assimilation of the Manpower Music Library and its plans to create strategic alliances with other music entities will continue to grow the catalog.
