Where to get good Music?

[waefre]

So where are some good places to pick up good music to use in film editing. Preferably stuff thats downloadable orchestral and not midi from a keyboard. It seem so hard to find good music.

I don't havve any suggestions but I do have a comment: It's 2007, midi should be buried and dead... yet it's not. Why, god? Why?!

Seriously, like I'm going to edit a video to something that sounds like a cellphone ringtone. Even Cellphones don't use cellphone ringtones anymore.

There are several very good musicians who frequent this board. Take a look at some of the festival threads and you'll find some good people.

try DigitalJuice.com/products
go to Bactracks and Stacktracks---checkout Gallery under each product.

If you want free music (which has some good stuff if you search) check out:
www.incompetech.com

If you want some good quality at a low price I second the digital juice stack traxx

Lastly, smartsound is good too especially because of the time remapping feature. You just say "I want a 2min 3sec length of this track" (more or less) and blam! This is what you need if you don't have any musical background or rhythm.

Associated Production Music is some of the best library music around. It's used often in high end TV and radio advertising, as well as being credited at the end of many (big budget) Hollywood features and Network TV programs. I only mention the price issue to let you know that library music can be very good.

use the "search" on myspace and the ask for permission to use there music.
works wonders for me, but MAKE SURE they say you can use it for whatever your
using it for.
