Do any of ya know where you can get already copyright music from or a free program that you can make your know music???

ummm...can you rephrase that, and I think I might be able to help you out...

Ummm. GarageBand for the Mac. You can make your own music with that.

i mean where can you get free music that doesn't need copyright permission to use..

He wants to know where he can find Royalty Free music.

Some times what i do is i go and search for small, garage band type bands, and then ask for permission to use their songs. Or learn fruity loops (FL studios) which you can get for free.

The free version of fruity loops isn't very good. Plus, it's more for techno sounds. If you are looking for that type of simple, cheesy sound, then by all means, go for it.

Otherwise, you will have to spend some money to get a program that you can create music with.

Or you can contact the many composers on this site and request a song from them to use in your film.

Try looking at loop-based programs like Fruity Loops, Acid Pro, Garage Band or Soundtrack.

try archive.org . you'll need to dig probably.

You should definately talk to one of the composers who post on this site, but if you want to used premade music heres some other options aside from those mentioned above:
freeplaymusic Has a lot of generic sounding stuff that is supposedly copyright free depending on how you interpret their terms of use.

Opsound has some creative commons stuff but it tends to be kind of experimental.

Frankly, I think Freeplay and other sites like it are completely deceptive and misleading.

It's not copyright free at all, and you aren't even granted the right to use the music - just to cut your film to it. If you ever intend to show or distribute it (this includes putting it on a website, from what I gathered) they smack you with licensing fees. Obviously, by that point the music is a part of the project and you can either pay or re-work a lot of it.

Their music is crap anyway, IMO.

Your best bet is to get original music composed for free.

Hey Durden my composer is still using fruity loops and your right those do sound really lame I just havent had the heart to tell him (I use my first method instead), but anyway do you know of a program I could use that doest give that lame techno-ish sound?

At BEST BUY I found 10,000 loops (7 gig) of royalty free loops (44.1/16b) for $29.99. You would just need some sort of sound mixing program to put them together in. The program is Magix Sound Pool DVD.

It isn't the best, but the loops are varied in style and sound pretty good.

I use Quick Tracks for Premier Pro or use local musicians to score original work.

Good luck.
