Much less complete, but I post 5 royalty-free no copyright tracks every week here: https://no-lick.com .
Really cool to see you supporting the same cause too! :) We've got an authoring tool for composers that we're working on - You should get in touch with our Head of Audio (John) composer@filmstro.com - There could be an interesting collaboration here.
Is YouTube themselves working with to clear this music? Is it marked in YouTube's ContentID system somehow? Some artists have had copyright strikes placed against THEM for one of their original songs because someone else used their song (with permission) and then had YT's ContentID mark the other publisher as the owner. It has got to be a slap in the face to generously offer your art for this use, only to be punished…
Totally agree - Content creators shouldn't have to be penalised unjustly for stuff like that. We (Filmstro) as the publishers decide if and where to collect royalty income. In the case of Youtube we made the decision not to register our music for royalties with Youtube - Which means, you won't have ANY issues with 'permissions' and ContentID marks :)
I've used https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/ for this in the past, which works relatively well.
This and icons8 is getting pretty close to what I'd love to use on a regular basis. Unsplash has been great for creating a wonderful platform for truly free do what you want images. Now I'd like to see the same in audio/video. For advertising on YouTube or even actual commercials it would be nice have really affordable solution to use generic (but good!) sounding music that small businesses could use to give their ad…
Pixabay is a site that works similar to unsplash, but added a video section a short while ago. Not entirely sure if Stocksnap and Pexels have done so too.
Another area where this seems to be happening is with fonts at places like Fontsquirrel and Open Font Library.
Digging deeper in the site does not reduce the copyright ambiguity to me because the example scenarios like a corporate entity picking up content containing the music are dealt with vaguely rather than by pointing to clear licensing terms around copyright. The example of "tracks for a friend" is met with "we don't care." Right now, maybe not. But copyright interest can be sold to someone who does care...and potentially someone who cares because pursuing copyright interests is their business model.
None of which is to say I don't think the tech and music is cool. It just seems that the messy details that can come back to bite an artist sit on the hard work left to do list.
Wow, this is one of the cleverest ideas I've seen in a long time. As far as I can tell, they've put together a wide-ranging set of fairly generic-sounding movie music (generic = good, so it doesn't call attention to itself)... but composed it in a way that the three parameters (momentum, depth, power) simply map to different volume levels of the underlying instrumental tracks -- but all perfectly tuned to always prod…
Actually, now that I mention it, Nintendo did the same thing in Super Mario World (1990), just simply adding in some congas to the currently playing track when you jump on Yoshi.

Hey, I love the idea of the being able to compose music that matches the visuals of a film very easily with the app so I decided to download it and test it. Unfortunately, it seems it is not able to import .mov files on my macbook pro and when I import one of my 4k .mp4 source files, it plays very slowly, in fact so slowly that the video and the timeline become out of synch. My two questions are, are you aware of the…
