Cheap Music

Where Can I Get Cheap but Great-Sounding Music for a Video?

Do you sometimes get to thinking "I don't want to have to pay for using music in my video."?

After all, it's so low in the mix that no-one ever hears what it's really like, right?

What do you do?

Firstly, don't get caught out.

Pause for a moment to consider whether you might, at some stage, need to bring the music up in prominence (and you still want your customers to feel good about your product). Bear in mind that not everybody will view it on social media with the sound turned off!

Secondly, How much can you expect to pay for well-written, well-performed, well-recorded and well-produced tracks?

Did you know? My well-written, well-performed, well-recorded and well-produced tracks on the Cinephonix library are only £30 a pop for corporate use?
That's got to be a good deal.

For an even more affordable solution, those same tracks are on my own library (it's administered by Cinephonix). I can't offer the same facilities (such as Try-Before-You-Buy or a blanket licence) and the site isn't as mobile-friendly, but I can offer you a small discount.
And that'll save you money.

Lastly, if I haven't persuaded you that it's worth paying a little extra for a quality product, and that you get what you pay for, not only in quality of product and service, but also for other reasons such as copyright indemnity, then my back catalogue is available for licensing at ridiculously low prices from the Pond5 library. The music is great (of course!) and we don't care about the recording quality, right?

Bob Good has around 300 tracks available exclusively on half a dozen libraries, including Cinephonix in the UK and Music For Productions in Canada. He prides himself on producing high quality music, always recorded using real instruments. Except those in his back catalogue on the Pond5 library, that is.

Bob’s recent library placements include BBC ’s Masterchef, Autumn Watch, The One Show, ITV 's Long Lost Family, This Morning, Channel 4 ’s A Place In The Sun, Channel 5 's Age Gap Love, Billionaire Babies, Netflix ’s Al Hayba, Discovery ’s British Treasure, American Gold, France 3 's Au Fil De La Durance, Canal Vie ’s Ex Au Defi, Finnish Film ’s Spandex Sapiens and many more.
