How to Find the Perfect Music for Your Videos

Finding good music for a project can be surprisingly difficult (especially when it comes to finding great royalty free music that you don’t have to worry about sharing/posting), so here's a quick rundown of some recommended resources for finding music. I’ll include links to the ones I use and mention in the lesson, but I’ll also add a few other services that might be helpful too.

Episode 378: Finding GOOD Music for Your Videos

Changed my life again, I had no idea you can take out vocal tracks. What the

[markexploringnewstuff]

I learn something new every video! Thanks Tom .

At the moment, I spent all my extra monthly cash on halloween candies so I can't buy any online courses this month but I did want to say that I appreciate you using dark theme on your course website. Also I could tell it was designed by a teacher without knowing you by the way you clearly made everything so clear and concise. It appears all your missing now is to hire a sales team or add yourself to an affiliate list so others can become your sales team. You have to offer a huge commission but it will drive a lot of traffic back. Other YouTubers will gladly switch affiliate programs if they know they can make more money selling your courses.

This is funny I remember looking up that domain and was shocked it wasn't taken but as I was looking at retiring I didn't buy it years ago...

[BigTacious]

I'd also recommend stream beats, music by harris heller. good stuff. also recommend his channel (senpai gaming) and Nutty for resources for streaming.

Hey Tom! This is totally unrelated to the video, but could you do me/us the grandest favor of reviewing the new Shure MVX2U (tiny) audio interface. And if possible could you test its performance on Logic Pro X for the iPad. Thanks man! Keep up the great work!

2:30 I think many of the popular tracks are nondescript enough —or just so apropos in a context- that hearing them in different channels is barely noticeable. That said, I know there is one track that I identify with a certain YTer, and, when I heard THAT track on another channel, it was mildly weird, verging on unsettling. I wish I could remember whose channel i ID it with.

[TheDutchPotter]

Thanks, and good to know. I'm very new to YouTube video making, and was wondering, if I'd get a subscription to one of these libraries, use it in a number of YouTube videos I make over time, but then a year from now I decide to cancel that subscription. Do I get to keep the soundtracks in the videos I made while I had a subscription, or do I have to go an delete all of them?

[ItsRyukin]

I "mostly" used my audio editing software to extract the music out. 😅
And they are all in my BGM folder, Mostly no copyright. 🙂
I use them for my reviewing videos, gaming videos and vlogs. All of that stuff. 😊

Edit : Btw, Is the "Final Cut Pro" course free? (Just asking because, Just in case 😁)

[jonathanramsey]

0:00 Hey-y-y! (from a music video maker) 😝 😂
