Tech Tips and Music Ideas for Creatives: July 2008

He Syncs, He Scores I work in the UK. Every time I want to synchronize music with video I have to pay the prices set by MCPS. I have a project where the client can't afford those rates, so we need an alternative. Can you help? - Morty, London Here in the US, we're way too busy Beckham-watching to worry about Standardizing prices for every bloke (or bird) that wants to synchronize music to video, Morty. Even ASCAP, who standardizes the rates for public performances (not to be confused with synchronization) of musical works in the US, freely allow their copyright holders (that's us) to negotiate rates directly with music clients (that's you). Our $699.95 annual royalty free music subscriptions feature 10,000 tracks of outstanding non-MCPS music that you can synchronize to your heart's content. Knock yourself out, mate. Frequency Fight Club I need an upbeat music track that won't fight my VO. The male voice-over talent was awesome, but his voice takes up a massive frequency range. - Phil, NY We totally relate. Hand to God, I once worked with a relative of Isaac Hayes with who voice was so low you could actually hear the squeak of his adenoids rubbing together if you listened carefully to the speakers. Ew. The sheer genius behind the CDs in our Blue Fuse Undertones & Drum n Bass sub-series is that these high-energy tracks shy away from musical instruments that dominate the 1kHz-2kHz frequency range (to which our ears are most sensitive). This leaves plenty of sonic room for your VO and still provides musical "sizzle" in the outer frequency ranges. To hear what we think is the absolutely perfect soundtrack for a big voice, check out the jazziness of "Fiddlesticks" on the Blue Fuse CD Nuthin' but Upright.   Acoustic Energy Buy Today and Save $10* Evocative and gentle themes for a variety of multimedia uses fill this collection of royalty free music, perfect for background production music, hold music or professional projects.
