Title: Michael Donner Music
Post by: C. Shawn Smith on November 03, 2011, 10:27:20 pm
Thought I'd post this here for you YouTubers out there.

http://www.youtube.com/user/MichaelDonnerMusic/videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/MichaelDonnerMusic/videos)

Michael Donner is a composer who offers royalty free soundtracks for use in YouTube videos.  The only thing he asks is that you give him credit.  I contacted him a few months ago regarding some various projects I'm working on, and he's a really nice fellow who generally responds within a few days to your messages.

His music packs are available free for download on his website (link in his channel), and as stated above, so long as you ONLY use them on YouTube, they are royalty free.  If you use them for any commercial project, or outside of YouTube, he and his lawyers will be watching ;).

He has some pretty great stuff on his YouTube channel.  Some are "epic" soundtracks that sound straight out of a movie set, and he releases new ones quite frequently, so if you're interested in soundtracks that won't get zapped by YouTube's licensing restrictions, I highly recommend his channel.

Now that my videos can be monetized this guy could be just the ticket!

I know you've already seen the video, but his track "The Battle" was featured in my Superman: Dark Origins teaser:

Very epic quality music, and he has a wide variety of styles that will fit with almost anything you can imagine.  First time I ran across his work, I was so impressed I contacted him after only the second track I listened to.  Not many have caught my fancy that quickly.
