Tech Tips and Music Ideas for Creatives: November 2008


Metadata Mega-Mix

I have a RoyaltyFreeMusic subscription, but I use other music and sound effects libraries as well. Is there a way to search all of these audio files together even when they're from different manufacturers? - Jersey, MA

It boils down to 2 questions, Jersey. 1) Are you trying to stay in a high-resolution environment (WAV/AIFF)? 2) Are you ready to email some tough questions to your stock music providers? If you're willing to stay in MP3 format, you'll be happy to know that iTunes works quite well for many of our customers. If you like kickin' it high brow, the makers of Soundminer Pro v4 have created the "BWave", which is a broadcast quality audio file that retains embedded metadata like an MP3. Unfortunately, the metadata issue represents a gaping hole in your solution that the music library industry (ourselves included) has been slow to fill. While Soundminer is leading an effort to standardize (and presumably collect) metadata for the entire music library industry, that's still in the early stages. Without good, comprehensive metadata attached to each of your files (MP3 or BWAV) your search queries will produce less than efficient results for you. Regardless of which software you choose, a good question to ask your stock music providers is "Are your audio files embedded with metadata for either iTunes or Soundminer?" For the record, we're planning to jump on the iTunes & Soundminer bandwagon in early March 2009. Stay tuned.




Santa's Smooth New Groove

Do you have something I can use for my holiday promo that everyone else isn't using too? We try not to use holiday music that seems too religious, but that leaves songs like "Winter Wonderland", which we can't afford. - Lucy, NY

While we do have an album of non-religious holiday music, available for $99.95, there are plenty of gems found on our non-holiday albums that would work great in a holiday piece. All of these tracks can be purchased and downloaded individually. Try these tracks to give your audience joy that comse from well, a different place.

"Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 1" from Best of Vivaldi, Mozart & Bach (timeless and beautiful, but not too sleepy).

"Rebirth" from Human Emotion (this pensive underscore would sound great underneath the spoken opening lines of Charles Dickens 'Twas The Night Before Christmas).

"Gymnopodie" from Relaxing Piano Classics (in 1888, Erik Satie wrote this beautiful little piano piece and foreshadowed an entire genre of New Age music by 100 years. It still holds up today).

 


Christmas Jazz

Celebrate the season in style with this sophisticated collection of royalty-free Christmas music. Filled with traditional Christmas songs performed in contemporary jazz styles, this album will add some holiday spirit to your music on hold, background music, or production music collection.




Acoustic Rx

Is your production music library making you ill? RoyaltyFreeMusic.com has the cure. This collection of pleasant acoustic stock music is the perfect prescription for bringing your projects to life with agreeable background music for film, television, music on hold, multimedia projects, and more.
