So, you’ve filmed your great video, or recorded your vlog and now you need to find the perfect music.. Where do you look? It can be difficult to know where to look, as you not only need a piece of music which will fit your film, but you also need it to be royalty free. If you don’t want to be shelling out for copyright fines, that is.
I am sharing ten places you can check out for the perfect sound effects, instrumentals and royal free tracks. You know, just to make your life easier.
YouTube Audio Library
The first place I would always check out is the YouTube’s own library. There’s a mix of tracks, some ask you to attribute the artist in your video description, while others don’t. You can also filter them by genre, length, style etc.
Free Music Archive
This site lets you filter royalty free music by genre and top charts. You can easily preview music and download songs instantly without needing an account.
Bensound
I love Bensound, as all of the tracks included are under creative commons attribution licenses. This means you are free to download and use as long as you credit bensound.com in your video description. You can sort by genre.
Sound Gator
Soundcloud
Some artists on SoundCloud let you use their tracks if you give them credit and link to their page on Soundcloud. You can also search under Creative Commons and use/credit.
Sounds Crate
You can create a free account and then download up to 5 tracks each day.
Looperman
You will find loops, sounds and tracks on Looperman. There’s a wide range of different genres to search by too
Pond5
Pond5 covers stock video, images and royalty free music. Simply select Public Domain music and away you go and add to cart, it will show up as $0.
Audiosocket
O.k, so this one is not free. However, I wanted to share it anyway as you can purchase 5 tracks licensed for monetised YouTube blogs for just $21, which is you find great tracks it is good value. Remember it’s a business expense too!
Where do you get your music from? Any there any new ones from this bunch for you to check out?
