For anybody interested, "Stock20.com" has their stuff on sale for 48 hours (well 24 left I guess now). You can buy song credits and use them to buy their stuff at a later date. Some very good prices on their stuff that way.

Thanks for the info. I just bought 25 song credits -- a great value!

Me, too!

I like that each "song" comes in so many different variations & lengths.
I have a bunch of music from Digital Juice, too, which I like a lot - but each song typically comes in only 3 lengths, and sometimes I have odd-length requirements.

I went for the "entire library for $200 a few weeks ago when they last ran the special. It is pretty good. There is some midi stuff but there is a lot of real instruments in the recordings. After I got it I spent a bunch of time batch rendering everything into lossless flac format and having Vegas draw out the waveforms so that everything is instantly ready for use. The flac encoding cut the required hard disc space in half.

Here's another pretty sweet library music deal:

I ordered it a few days ago. I like the sound of the demos a whole lot.

It's all on CDs so I'll have a bit of ripping and converting to flac to do when it comes.

Hey Laurence,

I was wondering about footagefirm I recieved a email from them last week and was interested, but I was kinda leary if they were realy legit. Have you had good luck with them, and I will assume that they are legit.

I have purchased some of their "time lapse" DVD's and they seem OK. No hidden charges or anything - stuff showed up in a box as advertised.

Footage Firm is totally legit, but I wasn't blown away by their music.

Like their video clips, it's all good quality but not top-of-the-line.

Thanks for the replies, I thought I might try one of their disk's and see. I use Smartsound for most of my stuff but some different music sometimes can't hurt.
