Buying and Selling Stock Music Online
Buying and Selling Stock Music Online
Stock music is music that can be used over and over and over again in
a multimedia project without paying extra licensing fees. This is also
known as royalty free music. In recent years, one could only get stock
music and sound effects on expensive CD sets, and had to sort through sheets
of papers or clumsy CD-ROM catalogs to find the right track. But as the
technology became available, music libraries began selling their music
in downloadable form, most notably at SoundDogs.com and other downloadable
sources. Productiontrax.com, however, took stock music to the next step.
In an era of independent arts, home computers, and the free market age,
Productiontrax.com became the first music library anywhere to allow any
composer to sell their music online for royalty free use in mulimedia projects.
Since 2003, Productiontrax.com has amassed over 15,000
stock music tracks in its library from over 400 composers world
wide. Composers of stock music anywhere with internet access now have the
ability to sell their music to anyone anywhere without leaving their homes. At
productiontrax, you can find royalty
free christmas music, advertising
music, and just about any other type of style.
On the other side, consumers of stock music, producers of feature films
and television shows down to office employees puting together
a multimedia report for their co-workers or industry analysts can now get
high quality original stock music online without having to pay costly licensing
fees. The open market model of Productiontrax.com has allowed consumers
to connect with sellers in a unique way, and competition has driven quality
up and helped stabilize prices, benefiting both the consumer and the art
form, while protecting the rights of the composer.
