Hey Pilots - Music workflow

Santa brought my Mavic and I'm still in baby step mode as I'm new to drone flying... I am watching a lot of your amazing videos and am wondering where you all are obtaining your music for your edits?

As if editing didn't take up some time, I'm finding myself spending a lot of time searching for soundtrack music to go with my videos... where are you all sourcing your soundtracks from?

Thanks in advance!

There are copyright-free MP3 sites, and some web based companies sell MP3 packages too. Some are paid, some are free but if you do some search you'll find loads of options.

Since I also DJ, I prefer to produce my video soundtracks. Well, most of the times anyway LOL. You can download an easy, quick production iOS or android app for a couple of bucks and do it yourself too, it's not too complicated.

YouTube has some free music you can select from, but I like downloading tracks from Pond5.com. YouTube gets fussy if you try to use copyrighted music.
