A few decades ago, small and medium sized companies had to
managed product staging with a still slideshow. Overhead projector
was the highly advanced presentation equipment back then.
Only Fortune 500 companies could afford to create costly video
presentation. However, because of personal computer, everyone
has been afforded the chance to create eye catching and creative
multimedia presentation or videos. And with the evolution
of multimedia, the need for stock music has grown tremendously.
Next to photos, stock music is one of the most indispensable
raw materials for webmasters, film makers, multimedia developers
or any media producer. Stock music can be used as music loop
clip for website projects, background audio for independent
films, and a perfect backing track for videos or PowerPoint
presentation. In any media production or project, stock music
is there to enhance and do up a presentation. Its versatility
makes it such a beauty.
Versatile as it is, stock music is nonetheless offered at
an affordable price. In fact, a webmaster can buy a compilation
or a “library” of stock music for a price of a cup of gourmet
coffee. He can utilize each audio recording from the compilation
to any of his website project. And when he is done, if his
stock music has royalty free license, he can keep his compilation
safe in his hard drive and put them out again when a new project
requires the same type of musical backdrop. Royalty free stock
music, or “buyout” music library, allows re-usage of any musical
track without having to pay extra fee for license. Such type
of music license is offered in an online stock music store
like Opuzz.com.
Another form of license offered by stock music store is rights
managed license, which is far more costly than royalty free
stock music. With rights managed license, a track or a library
of music will be pulled out from circulation within a period
set by the buyer so that no one else can buy and use the piece.
This type of license is best for intense or aggressive promotion,
wherein a marketer intends to create an identifying mark for
a product through visual and audio arrangement. Marketing
officers can opt for rights managed license for a single track
of stock music to protect the music from simultaneous use
within the marketing period.
