I'm selling the rights of my show in the US but will try to sell it to a European TV station as well. I asume I'd have to have the music rights too. Am I right?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-or-produce-original-music-for-tv-show#post-51686 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:11:41 +0000 birdcat 51686@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Short answer is it depends on the EULA.  Most broadcast outlets will ask you for a cue sheet with the pertinent info so they (not you) can pay ASCAP/BMI residuals if there are any.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-or-produce-original-music-for-tv-show#post-51648 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:56:02 +0000 acess35 51648@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks guys, I´m gonna try your suggestions and I´ll let you know my impressions, and I´m still open to hear more of ´em to determine which will work for me.</p> <p>One more thing (or two), do I have to include the name and the author of every song at the end of each show or is it just optional? And... with the options you gave me I assume I won´t have any legal problems using this productions everytime I want or how does it work?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-or-produce-original-music-for-tv-show#post-51637 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:41:36 +0000 grinner 51637@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> You are welcome.

Not saying it will become the next answer to the right music for the ENG/corporate pros, but it's definitely unlike some of the cheesy sound affects that you get from Google searches when trying to find the right sounds.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-or-produce-original-music-for-tv-show#post-51615 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:15:29 +0000 grinner 51615@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> DeWolfemusic.com is yer buddy.

They also have a great library of royalty-free music at reasonable prices. The great thing about Acid is you can mix different audio formats on the same timeline and you don't have to be a musician to do it. Acid comes in two flavors, Pro and Studio. The Pro version is just that and Studio is 'novice friendly' but still has enough features to take you where you want to go creatively. It's also less expensive than Pro. The only drawback is it's PC only software so if you are a mac weenie you'll have to use your Bootcamped Win partition to use it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-or-produce-original-music-for-tv-show#post-51589 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:18:15 +0000 birdcat 51589@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Register with Digital Juice (<a href="http://www.digitaljuice.com">http://www.digitaljuice.com</a> - free) and you can download 19 of their StackTraxx Royalty Free selections in MP3 format for free.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-get-or-produce-original-music-for-tv-show#post-51570 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:50:55 +0000 acess35 51570@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello, I hope you can help me:</p> <p>I´m an independent TV producer and I´m looking forward to sell my travelling show to a cable TV station. The thing is that I need original music, not the commercial one, but I´d like to know your suggestions about buying it from an online library or producing it with an audio software.</p> <p>I´m on a tight budget and I know I´d save some $ if I make it but I´d like the quality to be as good as if I´d bought it. Is it possible? I´ve never done it before.</p> <p>I´ll appreciate your suggestions</p>
