Where to get Production Music for just about any Project




If you are a producer, director or project coordinator for just about any type of film, television
or video project, you know how challenging it can be to find production music that
encapsulates fully the important themes and the message of your project. Not only is
production music and background music for film and television often incredibly expensive,
but the time required to shop around to the multitude of music providers or composers is also
extensive. And since musical originality is often a concern, typically producers with limited
budgets that can not afford to pay a composer to produce a score of music especially for
their film, television show or video project, but can buy popular music or previously used film
scores run the risk of hearing the very same production music and background music they
paid so dearly for in another film months later.


Many film and television professionals that do not have multi-million dollar budgets wonder
things to look for in high quality production music. Since the market for background music of
all varieties, particularly those that claim to be "affordable" and "original" can be so inundated
with poor-sounding, purely imitative scores and individual musical pieces, weeding with the
rocks to find the gems can be a painstaking process for which no one has the time or energy.
Listed here are four important elements to look for when looking for the right production
music and background music for your film, television or video project:


1. Excellent sound quality. This may seem like an obvious element, because it is often the
most immediately noticeable when hearing good music, but many don't think about sound
quality unless it's very bad. If you are a producer or director, you most likely have an
understanding of sound quality in film or television, but may be less certain of your ability to
gauge it in production music and background music. If you don't have the benefit of having a
musical expert on staff, you can certainly gauge the quality of the music yourself by
considering a few important aspects. If the music has been recorded under the best
conditions, you will hear a perfect balance between bass and treble, as well as consistent
sound and textures whatever the volume at which you are hearing the music. You will be
able to pick out the person sounds of different instruments and not just a muddle of sounds,
some fairly indistinguishable.


2. Vivid, true instrumentation. Some production music that states be "affordable" sounds
more like bad elevator music or music that's been recorded in a dark room by someone's
younger brother utilizing a cheap synthesizer from the 1980's. Whether or not the music is
synthesized (and as a professional with a limited budget, you should understand that
sometimes it has to be to keep costs down), it does not need to sound fake and hollow.
Synthesizers can handle producing instrument sounds that are true-to-life, and the best
production music and background music will have depth and approach otherwise fully
embody the richness and intricacies of real violins, cellos, brass, woodwinds, various guitars
and percussion. If you can tell the instruments are merely simulated, your audience knows as
well.



I have included on here a few profiles of music stars like, Enya, Pop Music and Andrea
Bocelli for you to read on.
