A long time ago …. in a galaxy far away ….

Well actually it was early in 2008 that Orchestral Impact first hit the market and throughout the year was the flagship collection of royalty-free music.

Orchestral Impact 2 will continue to be available until later this year.  However the torch has been passed and once the buyer of RR to this collection has it all set up I hope to notify you of the new link for purchases.

By retiring Orchestral Impact we now make way for Orchestral Impact THREE which will launch on January 28. This new collection features a total of 23 mp3s. It includes some brand new 2009 productions as well as a few remixes from 2007 material.  A package that internet marketers don’t want to miss!

Most Royalty-Free Music packages are developed for sole use by the purchaser (or end user).  Although you can embed the tracks in your videos and audios, the music tracks themselves can’t be sold.

However, recently I have been getting many requests for resell rights.  In other words you buy the collection and then you DO have the rights to sell the music.

Providing a package with resell rights is quite unusual in the royalty-free music industry.

But for the first time, you can now pick up a Ginny Culp original collection, and add it to your arsenal of products that you sell.

The package includes 24 MP3’s in the brand new ORCHESTRAL IMPACT COLLECTION TWO.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Actual track length varies from 14 seconds up to 3 minutes and includes five full length songs.

How to order resell rights

One of the most common uses of royalty-free music is an intro to a podcast or other audio.  Music intros vary from 10 seconds to about 25 seconds.

Recently I had a number of requests for INTROS ONLY and as a result - a new music package is available called INTROS ONLY.  It features a variety of styles and here’s what’s included:

• Camel Time Intro - 28 seconds
• Car Driver Intro - 16 seconds
• Dance Intro - 18 seconds
• Disco Intro - 19 seconds
• Game Show Theme Intro - 22 seconds
• Heavy Intro - 25 seconds
• Hiccup Intro - 19 seconds
• Light RnB Intro - 22 seconds
• Mystery Intro - 18 seconds
• Piano Intro - 17 seconds
• Suspense Intro - 31 seconds
• Synth Talk Intro - 27 seconds
• Vintage Electronic Intro - 21 seconds

“I Love your music!” - Helene Malmsio

Thanks, these are great, I put them to use right away. - MRMCD (warrior forum member)

When getting started with voice-over recordings, the budding audio producer may wonder what makes a great mic.

Here’s what you need to know before making a mic purchase.

There are two main things to consider.

The first is that for all of the tens of thousands of mic choices it’s important to remember that microphones are designed for different purposes.  For example some are designed for use with a video camera, others are designed to record drums, and some are also created for specific musical instruments.  For voice-over narrations you need one that is designed for spoken voice (which is NOT the same as a mic for singing voice.)

Here is the second consideration. When you are recording direct to your computer, you now have the choice of using a USB microphone rather than one that is designed to be connected to an amplifier and mixing console.  The advantage of using a USB mic, is that a high quality sound card to convert the audio into a digital signal isn’t required.  This is because you’re going directly into the computer with the audio signal.

Even with these two requirements there are still plenty of microphones to choose from.  So let’s narrow the field a bit further.  The best quality mics today continue to be made by microphone manufacturers.  They have much more R&D to draw from, and in most cases many decades of experience at designing and producing great quality microphones.

Although you’ll find that many companies who manufacture computers accessories (for example a mouse or a webcam) are now producing headset mics (and the like), the best bang for your buck - and still the best quality, comes from manufacturers such as Rode, Shure,  Samson, Electrovoice,  AKG, Neumann, Marshall Electronics, and so forth.  And the great news is that most of these manufacturers realize that there is a market for USB recording mics.
