Where would be a good place to get music to put in KSP videos?

[JacobJHC]

So I have sucked the YouTube audio library dry of what I consider music that fits my videos. So I am curious if any of you know a good place to obtain non-copyrighted music for videos. Thanks.

find cool music you like that fits, download, and put it in!

@JacobJHC here is a list of royalty free music sites that I found. But I haven't explored them all.

 

The first one, Incompetech.com features the works of Kevin MacLeod who did most of the music for Kerbal Space Program itself along with much of what you will recognize from YouTube.

thanks you for share!

I'm sure you mean royalty-free? Google "royalty-free music" and see what you get. Including a style or genre in the search will help - I found plenty of old ragtime recordings that way.

If you're fine with YouTube saying you're using copyrighted content and putting ads on your videos where you don't get money, you can use any music you'd like, YouTube allows it.

YouTube may allow it, but those that make or produce the music may shut you down faster than you can blink.  Sony is real good with doing that for music from artists under their flag.

I've used freesound.org in the past, there's plenty of CC-0 (public domain) and CC-SA (attribution) licensed stuff.

Just pay attention to the license of whatever you use.

Oh, I didn't know that. Oops!

There are plenty of sites that offer music made by people that are redistributable as long as you give them credit in the video sequence.

Here's a site I have used in the past:

Oh, Splashdown made some great stuff. When the band broke up, they released the music free to be shared with friends, and I think KSP videos fit the bill. I've used them in Youtube videos before and have never had an issue. Here's a link:

Good luck in your search!

Free Music Archive, Incompotech, and Teknoaxe's site all have pretty good selections.
