When you are creating a show, the music is often as important as the actual video elements - it sets the mood and the timing of the show - and the combination of sound and vision are crucial to a successful show.
If you watch any of the "really good" shows on the gallery you will see what I mean.
Look at shows created by Carlos Marques - they all use AUDIO as well is visual to make them successful.
YouTube are getting more and more strict about audio copyright infringement and starting to remove videos that use audio illegally. They will be doing mkore and more of this in the future.
There's lots of free sources of royalty-free music that we can use.
I use music by Kevin MacLeod for most of my videos so that I don't have music copyright issues.
incompetech.com...
I also use Aalborg Soundtracks for YouTube Videos for the same reasons.
trackonerecordings.com...
If you use music from those 2 sources for your future shows that you create, you can be sure that you will be able to give the same music to others without any copyright or legal issue, and they will get the music that matches the timing and the mood of the show.
If anyone has any other free sources of royalty-free music, maybe they can share them here.
Thanks, Michiel - I'm going to add that to my list of sources of royalty free music. There's some excellent things like applause and bird sounds there.
Do you use the free or the paid clips form there?

BixPack uses the fashion show music. Unfortunately, the site is having technical difficulties at the moment:

Perhaps vaguely under this heading is Corel Videostudio Pro X3 - which is of course not free, but it includes a music soundtrack generator, where you specify the duration ( say 26 seconds) and the genre and it stitches music together, not synthesized but from real recordings.
That's kinda nifty (though I wouldn't recommend the actual video editor)

Btw, notice about Aalborg Soundtracks that the music is only free to use on Youtube (I assume they get a cut) but if you use it outside of Youtube its not automatically free, but you'd need to cut a deal (of course its a home movie they might never know :)
