What is stock music?
Stock music is pre-arranged music that comes with a license that gives the buyer permission to use them. Typically composed by professionals, their formats are various; mp3, wav, etc. The music tracks can be creatively incorporated in all types of media projects such as corporate videos, jingles, podcasts and social media content.
Where can I use stock music?
They can be used to create videos for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Twitch, Vimeo, broadcast, commercials, film & tv, online ads, websites, podcasts, weddings, games, marketing, presentations, applications, non-profits, NFTs & Metaverse platforms and all platforms that will be created in the future.
How can I use stock music?
Stock music can be spliced, edited and looped as far as their terms of use allow, to fit seamlessly with any audiovisual project. They are often used as background music for videos to liven up the mood, evoke specific emotions and create moods as desired by the video producer. Stock music can also be used as filler music in podcasts at the beginning and between segments and to provide a complete audio experience.
Now the question "where to find copy right free music" pops up a lot - but one thing I don't see are genuine suggestions for music. As someone new to editing there is an overwhelming amount of music available so I thought why not ask here?
Although personally I am looking for the best no-lyric background songs to use in gaming videos, I would love to hear some of the favourite music you add to your videos. This can be with or without lyrics and be whatever vibe fits your style.
I'll start by saying I use Hoodie Allen as an outro music but within my videos most of it comes from Harris Heller (I've listed some of his I've used below)
- Fake Fan
- I can do better
- gift of a guest
- justice
Some albums I love to throw on in the background are timeout take five, mordechai, madvilliany, etc.. I like something kinda upbeat or somewhat chill while not being obnoxious or to sleepy. I listen to all kinds of music! It can be jazz, hip hop, indie, world, etc. Any help is appreciated!
