Royalty Free Music....

[Dustin Wilcox]

I know its been a topic before, I just don't feel like running back and tracking it down. I need some music, nothing special, just something to kill the silence during a time lapse, is there any where you can get some music for little or nothing, it doesn't really even have to be good...

Yeah so do I, but not the hundreds of dollars you got to fork out...

You can't really download it, but www.pandora.com and www.slacker.com are good 'smart' internet radio stations, if you've got a laptop tether you could probably even bring it on the road. It isn't quite on-demand, but if you work at your stations well enough you can make it pretty much play exactly what you want.

Not the kind of music I need, maybe I wasn't clear enough in my description; I am looking for something to use on a DVD, just some sort of background music to use during a couple <1 min Time Lapses. I have browsed the internet pretty heavily and it seems the cheapest I can find anything is about $80 considering I will be lucky to have that in total DVD sales and I just want something super basic it seems a little crazy to pay that.

Google "Music Bakery". That was the website used for the music on the Hurricane Charley and September's Fury (Frances, Ivan, Jeanne) DVDs. I too am always looking for free to royalty free music....of all kinds. I am not finding the kind of music I really want at the moment.

Music Bakery has some nice stuff, but there are too many people using them now. I have a couple of their collections on CD, but there are a lot of the nicer tracks I won't use because I already hear them everywhere. There is some good original music out there if you dig for it, but you usually will have to pay $30 bucks a track for royalty-free usage. Anything cheaper is typically cheesy stuff that would be embarrassing to have on a video.

Freeplay has some grade-A quality tracks, but if you want to use them on a DVD, you'll pay as much for it as you would for stock video, maybe even more. They charged 50 bucks for a one year license to two tracks on a video I produced for my family, with no distribution rights beyond my blog. I'm not complaining, as they're doing what I'd do - but my point being that they're not a cheap solution.

I'm in the process of making a DVD for the NWS convention that will be held in March here in Amarillo. Here is a site that I found while searching for music. Just credit Kevin MacLeod in your credits section.

When you get to the website, At the top of the page there will be a "Search by Feel" section. Click on intense and find the vortex track. It's what I'm using at the start of my DVD.

EDIT: I've never made a DVD before so this will be interesting.

Exactly what I needed, THANKS!!

I've said before but I'll say it again!

I produce all sorts of music, from downtempo to super fast beats. If you're looking for something specific just let me know. I'm not in the market to sell, but a nice credit will do just fine.
