Let me tell you a story that will convince you that Royalty free music is by far the better option for using in your online video.
I posted a tweet recently that reminded me of a conversation I had not so long ago. My client, who has given me permission to tell this story, purchased a royalty free music track from us to use in his promotional videos and he was very annoyed that he was having to do them all over again.
Yes, that is right. He was producing all of his videos for the second time, more precisely, he was paying his staff to re-produce and re-upload them. Quite simply he had mixed a mainstream music track behind his voice to give his video that extra bit of professionalism. They did sound good, but unfortunately he had no permission to use the copyrighted track.
Initially, this was not a problem for him as he saw that everyone else was doing it and getting away with it, however, not so long ago YouTube changed this when they introduced YouTube Content ID.
This is basically where a copyright owner can register their content with YouTube so that Youtube’s system will automatically recognise it as copyrighted material. The copyright owner can opt to block the content completely or to monetise it. I am sure you have seen those videos… the ones with no soundtrack or the ones with adverts displaying, well, that is the result of the content ID system.
Well, my client was upset as all of his videos had no soundtrack and he was now having to re-produce them with a royalty free track and re-upload them to YouTube.
In my opinion, this will become common place on other video platforms in the future.
If you are thinking of using copyrighted music, take my advice and invest in a royalty free music track today. It will save you loads of time / money in the long-run.

In this royalty free music review, I thought I would pay homage to those classic Hollywood adventure movie scores with an exciting and uplifting piece of royalty free orchestral music.
The track is called ‘Prince of Ponds‘, a happy and positive orchestral soundtrack suitable for family adventure films, Westerns or Disneyesque movie productions, any type of film or TV project that needs to create a sense of adventure, the great outdoors, big open landscapes and new frontiers to explore.
Give your production the Hollywood movie style treatment with ‘Prince of Ponds‘, the perfect big orchestral score without the need of a big budget.

As it’s Valentine’s, I thought it apt to review a royalty free music track that evokes emotions of love and romance. One track that certainly does this is Dream Zone from MediaMusicNow’s royalty free romantic music category.
Tender, gentle and loving, Dream Zone is perfect for a romantic production or project. An emotional teenage drama, television show or video that needs to portray feelings of love or perhaps daydreaming about that special someone, possibly an unrequited love. The track also has a nostalgic and heartening quality, looking back on fond memories.
Whatever the production, Dream Zone has the ability to enhance those romantic scenes and sentimental moments.

Royalty free classical music as background music fits a variety of broadcast and media productions including movies, TV, Commercials, Exhibitions, Tradeshows and music on hold.
Classical music has often been used in films, for example, the opening fanfare of Richard Strauss’ ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra’ became well known for its use in the film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ and ‘O Fortuna’ and Carl Orff’s ‘Carmina Burana’ were used in the movie ‘Excalibur’.
Other recognizable classical pieces used in advertising, television and film include Edvard Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King (from Peer Gynt Suite), Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Classical music has even marked major sporting events such as Nessun Dorma from Puccini’s opera ‘Turandot’ as the theme for the 1990 World Cup.
Royalty Free Classical Music is perfect for professionals wanting to add striking and emotional background music to their project.
