At long last the dreaded battle for non-copyrighted audio is over, and Indie Filmmakers couldn't be happier. Audiosocket, a music, media, and digital licensing company, is preparing to launch a licensing site via a hosted music platform. The planned site, Audiosocket U, uses Audiosocket's MaaS platform, allowing users access to more than 35,000 songs from their nearly 2,000 indie artists and composers. With these tracks, filmmakers can utilize quality recordings and license them to be legally used in their short film projects for as little as $5. And when their school signs up with Audiosocket, the institution will receive a little piece of the pie in the form of an annual donation.
Students are ecstatic over this new site which is completely managed by Audiosocket and does not require any integration parameters to be met by each University. Even teachers like Kevin Bleich, professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, are excited over this new site. "Audiosocket offers a unique and robust tool for media creators wanting to add quality music to their projects without breaking the budget," says Bleich.
Indie filmmakers understand how frustrating it is trying to navigate the cold and tangled mess that is music licensing, which is exactly why Audiosocket has made education of this matter another priority of the site. According to Audiosocket President Jenn Miller, understanding copyright law and the process of respecting others' Intellectual Property is a truly crucial part of educating students studying to create content. Therefore, Audiosocket U not only aims to make the process of discovering and licensing music quick, easy, and hopefully even a little fun.
For those of you who use Vimeo, Audiosocket is a partner of the site along with IndieFlix and The National Film Festival for Talented Youth NFFTY).
