The Right Soundtrack Can Make or Break Your Video

by Kat

 Thanks to the availability of services such as YouTube and Vimeo, people all over the world have a chance to put audio-visual presentations out there for everyone to see. Those presentations range from sales videos linked to a “splash page” for purchasing a product to musicians wanting to get their work out there and using video services to forge their own path, and of course, all the other types of videos in between.

Given the emphasis on multimedia productions in the last decade or two, it’s not hard to realize that those multimedia productions require fantastic music. Why? It’s all about emotions. On the sales end of things, you can look at the hardcore facts about a product, including how much that item sells for in a retail shop, but let’s face it: humans are not robots. We are not “programmed,” as it were, just to memorize hard facts and make choices based on those facts.

We make snap decisions to purchase an item based on our emotions, our feelings. A specific type of music for a sales video taps into those emotions and feelings more effectively than plain words can do just by themselves. Much of those emotions are often based on past memories, sure, but a completely brand new song can trigger a particular kind of emotional sensation via the way the song is composed. If the soundtrack you use is happy, exciting and exhilarating, your intended audience is going to feel good about listening to what you have to say about your product.

Of course, not all videos are sales-oriented. Perhaps you’ve created a short movie, whether live action or animated. Naturally, you need music to match the mood of what’s going on in the story. For instance, if you’ve written a script that’s somewhat romantic, with a good deal of city-centered action mixed in, you’ll want a piece of music that reflects that blend—perhaps something bluesy or otherwise sensually jazzy. Or perhaps your story is very fantastical and ethereal, featuring nature spirits, for example. “New Age” and otherwise ethereal-sounding melodies are likely going to be the soundtrack that gets your videos viewed, “liked” and shared across social media.

But where do you get Royalty Free Video Soundtrack Music, you might be wondering? “After all,” you say, “I’m not a composer, and I don’t want to get in trouble using copyrighted stuff.” This is where Royalty Free Music sites like FreeMusicPublicDomain.com come into play. This particular website offers royalty-free music that you can download for your video, under two different types of basic licenses: commercial and FREE.

• Creative Commons. This is a very popular option for personal use, amateur video creation and other non-commercial ventures, as it’s free.
• Standard License. This is a helpful license to have if you plan on using a song in a commercial context, and the fee is a one-time cost of $25, without having to pay additional royalty fees afterwards.

All you have to do is select a category or genre, listen to the available songs within that category, and choose the song you want to download. From there you can choose the license that applies to your situation.

 You can also contact FreeMusicPublicDomain.com for custom Royalty Free Video Soundtrack music production services, if you wish to have a custom-created soundtrack for your video, especially if the available music just isn’t quite right for your project.
