Using music for research

[emblas70633320]

Hi! I'm currently writing my master thesis about the somaesthetical effect while horse riding to tempo-flexible and rhythm-adapted music. I was thinking about using some Adobe Stock music files, but I am not sure if it is "okay" and I was wondering if you could help me figure that out?

The music will be played above a rhythmic beat (a 2-beat, 3-beat or a 4-beat) and the tempo will be altered to fit the equipage of horse and rider. Does this count as having the music be changed too much?

That use should be OK, I suppose. You can modify assets to your needs.

I think they are correct and advice is based reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong.
