Where to Buy Exclusive Music Buyout Tracks (Without Ghost Producer Rates)

You can buy exclusive music outright from ghost production marketplaces, from custom producers or from a ready-made buyout catalogue such as Sonify Music. The difference lies in price, real exclusivity, removal from sale and proof of ownership.

• •Full buyout: ownership of the exclusive final master
• •€29.90 one-time, no subscription
• •100% unpublished track
• •Permanent removal from the catalogue after purchase

Ghost production marketplaces

They sell finished tracks, often EDM, to artists who release them under their own name. Prices are usually in the hundreds of euros and contracts vary from seller to seller: always check whether the track is removed from sale and who keeps the publishing.

Custom producers

A producer writes a track for you. You get something tailored, but you pay for time, wait days or weeks and only hear the result at the end.

Ready-made buyout catalogue

What to check before paying

Four questions: is the track unpublished? Is it removed from sale? Are the exclusive final master transferred in writing? Is there a document a third party can verify?

FAQ

Is buyout the same as an exclusive licence? No. A licence is permission to use; a buyout transfers ownership.

Can I release the track on Spotify? Yes, it is yours.
