A focused cinematic music library with free attribution licensing and paid per-track options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Scott Buckley Music is a library of cinematic original music by Australian composer Scott Buckley. It is aimed at filmmakers, game designers, content creators, and other media artists who need music for media projects. Most tracks are available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, allowing commercial use when Scott Buckley is credited. For creators who cannot provide attribution, the library offers paid per-track licensing for specified project types.
The pricing structure gives creators a free route and several paid options. The CC-BY License allows free use with attribution and permits commercial use when credit is provided. The Web License costs AUD 40 per track and covers online multimedia and web advertising, with YouTube whitelisting included. The Standard License costs AUD 75 per track for projects that cannot provide attribution and uses per-project licensing. The Full License costs AUD 300 per track and also supports projects that cannot provide attribution through per-project licensing. Prices are listed in AUD before tax.
Discovery is organized around genre, mood, instrumentation, and album, while downloads provide MP3 full mixes. A separate WAV-file index supports access to higher-resolution file listings, and YouTube copyright-claim release guidance helps address platform claims. YouTube Content ID monitoring is also available for uncredited uses. The library remains focused on music rather than a broader production asset catalog: there are no sound effects, stems, or listed integrations. Choose Scott Buckley Music if cinematic tracks and attribution-based licensing fit your workflow; choose another library if you need a wider asset range, integrated tools, or stem-based editing.
