Can I sell a music with my voice or nature sound on iTunes or some web shop?

Hello!

I’d like to combine my meditation voice with the music which I buy at Audio Jungle.
or nature sound like bird sound with the music.

Can I sell that on iTunes or some web shop?

If I can, which license should I buy?

Thank you.

no, you can’t

Hello,

Using the music as background for your meditation guiding voice, may be allowed. Your audio project needs to be larger in scope than the music, which can only be a supporting component.

Just putting birds sounds over is not enough to make it greater in scope, though.

This is from the FAQ:

Can I use music in an audio-only end product such as a podcast, audiobook, or guided meditation?

Yes, as long as the audio-only end product is larger in scope and different in nature than the music itself. As a rule of thumb, the music alone must not comprise the primary value of the end product, and should have speech overlayed and interspersed throughout. You can never distribute the music track as-is or with superficial modifications.

Example: You can use a relaxing music background to underscore your guided meditation voiceover recordings, and sell a CD of this to your spa customers.

In any case, if you’re selling on iTunes, you need to make sure that you, or the service that you use, do not register the audio with ContentID or similar audio recognition systems.
