  • Where do you go for music?

    Posted by Spencer Tycksen on February 27, 2018 at 5:26 pm

    I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I’m wondering where people go to find music to use for video work. I have used premium beat and the music bed, as well as some stuff on pond5.com, but I feel like I’m always hearing the same stupid songs when I search. Perhaps I just don’t know how to search properly. So I’m wondering where you go for good royalty free music for videos. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I like the Music Bakery myself. Of course, YMMV.

    I like Music Bakery, too. Shockwave-sound has some cool tracks as well.

    Recording audio without metering and monitoring is exactly like framing and focusing without looking at the viewfinder.

    I dont get this. Why do some people seem to object to paying good money for good music.
    You’ll happily part with £££ for a new camera, or £££ for a lens, but music. NO – it has to be free?

    Not free. Royalty free. Pay once, use as much as you want/need.

    Yes. Royalty free. I’m more than happy to pay for music. But finding the right music can be a challenge sometimes.
