Low Cost Music for games?

Check out Melody Loops:

I was pretty happy with what they offer, and the pricing and licensing terms are very reasonable. All the music from my latest title was from there.

 

See this site: free if you credit him or $10 no credit. And the stuff is good.

We actually got ours done for free by contacting Music Technology departments at local universities asking for students who would be interested in producing game sounds for a game to be published on the app store. The response was phenomenal and the results impressive. I frequently get complemented on the game sounds.

Take a look at our thread here for more info: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=171794

It's worth a shot. By doing this we didn't just get customised quality game sounds done for free but we also have continued our relationship with that students and will be using him again for any future sounds we need developing. Lucky for him he'll be getting paid from now on!

 

I use Premiumbeats.com. I always buy tracks that has loopable sections in them, then I'd just cut them into two parts. Part A being the non-looping intro that lasts 5-30 secs and Part B being the main loop that lasts up to 2 mins.

 

That's up to 250$ a track (for a commercial app) ? (still cheaper than custom made)

 

It's been $30 with me.

 

30$ it's for a Free app with no ads and no in-ap purchases (see the licence). So an app you can't make money with it.
If you make any money with your app, you can get some troubles.

If you do a Full free app why not.

 

Looks like I bought my music before they added these terms

I bought 30 tracks by the way~

 

We've used Pond5.com and found a lot of good clips for our app. It's royalty free and very affordable.

 

I use services from this guy: http://grogon.com . He provides me with music soundtracks and sound effects for my games for a longer time now and I'm more than happy with the prices he gives me and his support even after games are released (help with trailers or updates and other small things). I appreciate the quality and personal contact with him. So, as you can probably guess by yourself now, I can recommend it to you.

Have a nice day
