Thread: where to get audio for web video?

i have a web video which i want to add some background audio for. anyone have some recommendations? i'm not looking to use songs from my mp3 player ;]

I recommend Jamendo.com where you can find plenty of music published under Creative Commons and similar licenses which usually allow use and sharing of the music under certain conditions like that you provide credit to the author, license the derivate under the same license and sometimes that you don't make derivatives and not use it for commercial purposes.

It has a search function (advanced search) which allows you to tick the boxes if you want to display only results which allow you commercial use and derivatives. I've used some stuff from there myself a couple of times.

Alternatively you can check out sites with public domain music, though that's mostly gonna be classical music. A good example seems to be musopen.com.

Third option is to make the music yourself.

When we did the Fastlane Apprentice Support and Training videos, we used this site:

This is an example of what and how we used:
YouTube - FastMentors

this seems like a great resource but it says noncommerical. this is a problem if i'm selling a service. hmm
