Animation Music

Hello!

Another question for animators: where did you get music for your animation?
Well, i see the following options, but tell me if you did something diffferent:

1) No Sound
2) Write/Record Your Music/Narration (from scratch)
3) Compose your background music/sounds from freeware pieces
4) Use copyright free track
5) Get a permission to use copyrighted track
6) Purchase royalty free track

For those who did 5) - how hard is it to get permission?

I'm not on the animation team but I'll try to answer, In our animation last year we had what sounded alot like the mission impossibe theme, but it was just an uncopyrighted remix that sounded diffrent enought from the orginal, so that we did not have to go through all that red tape.

Cool

If you are looking at a professional product I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest Propellerheads Reason 2.0. I might have spelt that wrong but the address should be www.propellerheads.se. It is the greatest synth music creation software ever. I can send you a couple of samples that I have and it actually comes with loads of them too so learning isn't much of a problem. The best part is you don't have to be a musician which I am DEFINATELY not to create good quality music. Plus the file sizes are less than 100k most of the time so size and computer performance is not a problem.

If you are looking for something more catered to only loops, Acid Pro is a great solution. That is what we used for our animation last year. We used it for not only music but also sound effects and dialogue. You can get suprisingly accurite.

Now if you are looking for something to make you music really freaking quickly without you learning anything, and this is a product I only endorse for those of you that are basically thinking of no sound as your only option, I suggest Mix Man Studio. It's not by any means a great piece of software but you can get some really decent music in no time at all. If my ears served me correctly, a couple teams last year used this program. It can actually get pretty fun but once again it is only for quick dirty music, nothing professional.

What are the limits to using music in the animations? Sorry to ask you this but I'm new in the Robotics Competition this year.

Last year (I'm not positive but almost sure), the whole Copyright thing was an issue, but just as long as you acknowledged the Artist and all that good stuff in your credits, you wouldn't violate any laws.

animation music goes like this: you cant use copyrighted music period.

chairman's award music goes like this: you can use any music as long as it is credited.

ok!

Are you sure about this??? I'd like to see it on paper, I don't have a copy of the animation rules section.

I used the sound sample from the Sound Forge software 5.0.
It worked OK.

I don't think you're right on this, but I have no proof.

my interpretation

Here's what I think will happen....

I know that copyrighted music you needed to have some kind of waiver from the record company... but that means nothing this year. Autodesk changed the rules and requirements quite alot from the year before and I believe that will hold true this year as well. Therefore our team is making our own music because we believe that copyrighted music will be banned alltogether next year. This is just our idea as to what will happen.... but for sure we know nothing until autodesk gives us the rules.

First seems spooked by the idea of using any copyrighted material. Somebody has probably been on the business end of a lawsuit(or they work for Kinkos ).

Well, the rules are out, and read through them but didn't see anything regarding music. The update doesn't have an index so I haven't found anything about it in there either. Anyone know what's going on with it? I'd suspect we still can't use coyprighted material.
