MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006*Free* Stock Music and/or Stock Sound Effects
Just wondering if there are any sites that offer free stock music/sound effects. I hear the same sound effects in many flash animations, and I am just wondering if there is a music library out there that people get this stuff from. I would like to include these kinds of sound effects in PowerPoint. most importatntly I am looking for some free, stock music. nothing lyrical.. just some ambient, instrumental stuff. I would look into some of those royalty-free music sites, but i don't have a credit card to pay for the music, and I kinda need to find music before the end of the weekend. so a free stock music site is what Im looking for right now. thanks. Try looking in http://flashkit.com for sound loops and sound fx. You will need to look at the license type while using them though. Some are considered free, while some are linkware or shareware. There is also a list of free music on this Indezine's article.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > thanks. On Flashkit.com, is there a way to order these sound loops by "length"? These are great little tracks, but I find they are too repetative when played over a minute. I'm looking for a loop that can run for 5-10 minutes without getting on your nerves, so preferably the lopp would be 45sec - 1min long. Have you seen any loops at that length on that site? most are around 10sec. and I saw one at 27sec.. but nothing higher than that. art. > Try looking in http://flashkit.com for sound loops and sound fx.

That's probably why they are call loops? ;-) I'm unaware of any long music for free. 5 - 10 minutes are considered long IMO and they probably won't be free.

Oh no.. I wasn't looking for a single file that was 5-10min.. just a file that will still sound GOOD after hearing it in the background for 5-10min. I am comming accross a few 30sec loops now.. and I'm hoping to find a few that are 40sec - 1 min long. But it would be nice if i could sort / search these loops by length to make it easier. I don't suppose you would know how? Anyway, this is AWSOME resource regardless. thanks, art. //and to anyone else out there, if you know of more good sites out there like flashkit, go ahead and reply. the more the better. thanks. > That's probably why they are call loops? ;-) > I'm unaware of any long music for free. 5 - 10 minutes are considered long [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > > > > > > > thanks. Sweet! Thanks tohlz, I will check these out and let you know what I think. cheers. art. > Just wondering if there are any sites that offer free stock music/sound > effects.

You can find all sorts of them that are royalty free and they are MUCH smaller than sound files.

Pianos and harps sound great on them.. but to emulate modern music with a midi file always sounded strange to me. But then again, the last time I heard one was about 5 years ago. And there have probably been improvements to the format since then. I will definately look around for them if this flashkit website doesnt work out. Do you know of any particular sites that offer midi loops? art. > If you are looking for instrumental may I suggest you use midi files?

That may be why you're hearing so many similar sounds.
