Stock Music Sites that Don’t Suck

The word “stock” makes a lot of people cringe, and we don’t blame them. Stock media has a bad reputation for being cheesy, “dated”, and lacking in quality. But forget all that nonsense when it comes to music, licensing music for the web has come a long way! Gone are the times of lift music, delicately crying 80's guitars, and sax tunes (sorry if that is your thing).

Now your explainer video / film project / web commercial / video blog can be polished off with an amazing track from artists who bust their butt to bring you something new and fresh on the regular. And the good news is, there are options for any budget and any project… from the small wedding photo slideshow, to the indie film trailer, you’ll be able to find a great tune to polish up your project!

While there are dozens of sites out there, we tend to stick to a few key players depending on our budget, scope, and style of music. So let’s take a look at our favorite stock music site when it comes to video for business:

Palma Entertainment 

The Palma Entertainment  brings a voice to indie musicians, making their music accessible (and affordable!) to filmmakers, agencies, non-profits, and more. Their recently relaunched site makes it easier than ever to find the perfect track for any type of project. “The Palma Entertainment site is all about us getting out of the way and putting the music — and the musicians — front and center.” 

Benefits:

You can scan for melodies dependent on exceptional attributes, for example, "cartoon midi music" "space retro", "galaxima beats", "secretive", and "crude". 

Visual wave structures cause it with the goal that you to can actually perceive how the music is organized. No all the more speculating on the movement of a melody!

Conclusion

No matter what your budget is for, there are plenty of stock music sites out there to fit your business video needs and sound great too. Do you have any you’d like to add to our list? Let us know in the comments!
