It depends on what I'm doing in the video (vlogs are more likely to have music in them than a product review). I also take mood into account. All of the music I use will be instrumental, only, if I can help it.
Every Youtuber in order to prevent copyright strikes has to use some music as prevention. Mainly, i search YouTube for copyright-free music or will find lo-fi, remix or original music. If you're a freebie, mainly people will turn to the king of creating copyright-free music: Kevin Macleod.Hello Everyone!
For me music and sound are a key part to any video, and I wanted to know how you choose your music! What genre do you look for? What kind of feel? What site do you use to get it? Is it the same for all or do you vary depending video type?
For example on my latest short it was just me and narration, so I used solo piano to really have that feeling of isolation. However, when I do the TB videos I use synthetic pop that's easy to listen to and inviting for a general audience! I use JukeDeck and Epidemic sounds for both.
What are your choices, and how do you come to them?
