FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General
Where does your music come from?
All tracks are composed and produced by TimTaj.
What formats do you offer?
All tracks are delivered in MP3 format. Need WAV? Just contact me and I’ll be happy to send it to you.
Can I make a song or remix using TimTaj music?
No. However, you’re allowed to adapt the music for your video or film by trimming, fading, or adding voiceover. You cannot create a remix or produce a new track from the original.
Can I edit, modify or transform the music?
Yes, you can edit the track length or structure to better fit your project — such as shortening it or adding transitions. However, you may not remix, resell, or use the track as part of a new musical composition.
What qualifies as a series (e.g. TV, webisodes, monthly magazines)?
To be considered a series, all items (episodes, editions, etc.) must be connected and released within one year of the first release. You may release up to 12 episodes per year under one license.
Example: A 12-episode web series released monthly over the course of a year needs only one license. A printed magazine released each month throughout the year also needs only one license.
If the series continues the next year, a new license will be required.
Do I need a license for each variation of the same ad?
You need one license per distinct variation of the ad.
Example: If the changes are minor (like text tweaks), one license is enough. If you’re promoting different products or services, each requires a separate license.
Can I use the same license to distribute on multiple platforms?
Yes. As long as the end product stays the same, you can use it on any platform (TV, YouTube, websites, etc.) without needing extra licenses.
Video Platforms
Can I use your music in YouTube videos?
Yes. You can use my music tracks in your videos, but you won’t be able to monetize them unless you have a license.
Please note: You might receive a copyright notice. This is normal. Your video will not be removed.
My video received a copyright claim. What should I do?
You’ve received a copyright notice, but there’s no need to worry. Here are some tips and clarifications:
1. If you don’t plan to monetize your video on YouTube, you don’t need to take any action. Your video will remain publicly available — no restrictions will be applied except for monetization. It will not be removed.
2. If you want to monetize your video on YouTube, you need to purchase a license for each track used. After purchasing, you’ll receive a license certificate, which you can submit to YouTube when disputing the claim.
How do I remove a copyright claim from my YouTube video?
First you need to purchase a license. Then follow the instructions below.

If I make a clip for YouTube, can I monetize the clip by allowing ads?
Yes, all of our music licenses allow the music to be used for commercial purposes.
Does your music have copyright?
Yes, all music is copyrighted. You are licensed to use it — not to claim ownership.
You are free to use the music in your videos even if you don’t monetize them. If you plan to earn money from your content, you must purchase a license to avoid restrictions.
I need a license for YouTube, what type should I buy?
The Standard License is sufficient for platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and most social media.
If you plan to use the track in public spaces (TV, theaters, stadiums, etc.), consider purchasing an Extended License.
Do I need a license if I don’t monetize my video?
No. You can still use the music in non-commercial videos (e.g., personal projects) without purchasing a license. However, you won’t be able to monetize such videos or remove claims unless you have a license.
