Regardless of the type of project you are dealing with, in most cases the videos will need royalty-free music, both for low- to mid-budget projects, as well as for projects with larger budgets.
We are going to compile a series of websites where you can download music without having problems with the licenses of use.
The video streaming platform itself Youtube already has its own audio library with music and sound effects to include in the videos and then share them on its own platform. It is a free platform.
If you make low-medium budget audiovisual pieces quite often, there are different platforms that for a fixed price per month you can download all the music you need. They usually have different types of licenses depending on the type of destination of the video. In this group we would include filmstro, soundstripe and songfreedom, the latter has annual licenses instead of monthly. Audiosocket is a hybrid, since you can buy music through a monthly license, or buy songs independently.
When it comes to buying single songs, the range opens up quite a bit and prices vary quite a bit from one page to another. The price is usually dictated by the destination of the audiovisual piece, the number of workers in the company, type of project, etc… Here are some websites with these characteristics: audiojungle, premiumbeat, smartsound, FreeMusicArchive, musicbed, marmoset, etc…
Composers and musicians often come into play on more powerful projects where a unique and exclusive piece is needed for a project.
We support creators and musicians and a good way to encourage them to continue creating music accessible to all is to support their projects, even with small contributions, they will surely appreciate it!
