Re: Audio
The work can be considered a derivative work depending on the scope of the new product. If that is the case then you will owe the original copyright holder a fee for the license in order to use the material. If an agreement is not reached you may be forced to stop selling the new work.
If you have further questions, you may contact my office for a telephone consult.
