[Hidden-tech] Royalty free audio clips

[Steve Unkles]

There are a lot of good sources for royalty-free music.  I'm sure I haven't even 
scratched the surface as far as what's out there for download sites, but I 
recently used www.catooh.com for a video project.  Maybe I got lucky, but I 
found a couple of very good tracks for what I was looking for in just a few 
minutes.  Video example is here: http://vimeo.com/14849218   The tracks were 
$19.99 I believe for professional non-broadcast use.  Well worth it in my case.  
There was even a 2 or 3 dollar price for the same download for personal use 
only.  Anyway, Catooh, like many others, is a re-seller of many contributors 
from around the globe.  They also sell (and buy of course, on a consignment 
basis) stock photos/images and video footage.  So other content creators might 
want to check it out.
Also somewhat local is the Fresh Music Library.  Based in New Hampshire as I 
recall, but one of the partners/composers lives here in Hamp.  I used one of 
their tracks from an old CD on the previous year's video of the same thing (the 
same link will get you there, scroll.).  Well, just thought I'd share that since 
good music (and good voice-over, too) is so fundamental to the overall impact.  
It's great to know these resources are out there on an as-needed basis, and at 
low cost when small budgets couldn't afford it the old way.
More and more of the video software comes with customizable tracks that you can 
layer and play with.  Ive only experimented a little and got some nice 
background music out of it.  But you might prefer pressing the download button 
and getting a polished thematic track ready to go like I did.
Have fun with it!

Hi Everyone,

I'm creating a series of videos, and I am looking for a source of short
15 - 30 second audio clips that I can use at the beginning of my videos.
I want something warmly uplifting. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Btw, these don't have to be free audios. I'm happy to pay for the use 
of the clip.

Thanks,
Stefan
