Now that you have done theoretical work for your thesis film as well as practically, one of the difficulties you will face is having a perfect sound for your thesis film.
If you go for mainstream music, you have to face issues with plagiarism and copyright. Going towards Free music, on the other hand, is not something I would suggest. Then we have to rely on one thing: buying royalty-free music.
There are many places available on the internet where you can download royalty-free music and sound effects. The problem, of course, is knowing where to look.
We have got your back on this matter. Whether you’re looking for animal sounds, ambient noise, or something else, they will have anything you desire.
Here are three websites you should consider:
- Sound Ideas.
Sound Ideas is the world’s largest supplier of professional sound effects and the company has a vast library of both sound effects and royalty-free music you might need for your film. The company has been manufacturing high-end professional sounds for over 40 years. They offer complete sound effects and music collections on hard drive, CD or by downloading from their website. They have also acquired The Hollywood Edge Collections by adding over 70,000 high-end, professional, royalty-free tracks that award winning sound designers have designed. They acquired SoundDogs.com in June 2019; SoundDogs is the world’s finest online commercial library of different sound effects and production music, with a download service.
2. BBC Sound Effects
If you need sound effects for your animation, films, or videos, BBC Sound Effects will help you. They have 16,000 sounds available, and you can choose them from the website according to your style. Also, they have several packages available if you need them for commercial purposes.
