I need a brief soundtrack for a homemade trailer for a project of mine. Just some generic suspense/action/adventure instrumentals. Classical symphonies won't do it, so is there some place online for non-copyrighted music?
I'd really appreciate some help.

Behold: Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/)! Basically exactly what you wanted.

Do a search on Amazon for royalty free music. You should be able to find downloadable albums with 200 songs for less than $10.

I'd recommend against that. I've done exactly that and later found out some of the tracks weren't royalty free.

If it's marketed by Amazon as royalty free music, and some of it isn't in fact royalty free, I'd imagine that the music artist whose music is being used illegally would go after Amazon, and not after the consumer who bought it with the understand that it was royalty free. Or at the least, the consumer could sue Amazon for false advertisement and get whatever fines he/she is hit with paid for by Amazon.

If you do use Kevin MacLeod's music, make sure to credit him in some way. Far too often I see people use his music without doing so.

This thread was made in 2013, so it's probably a bit late for suggestions :smalltongue:
