Rolling your cursor over or clicking on the waveform will start playback. In the dashboard of Storyblocks Audio, you’ll be greeted by a page of audio waveforms. And remember, nothing distracts you from an otherwise good video like poor audio quality or inappropriate sound effects. As an audio/music producer, when I watch videos with poor audio quality or cheesy sound effects and music, I usually drop to my knees with hands to the sky screaming “what were you thinking?!” It seems that some content creators still haven’t learned that music elicits an emotional response from their audience. I’ll be focusing on Storyblocks Audio, the music and audio library of Storyblocks. “ The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.” – George Lucas Storyblocks clearly saw a gap in the market and decided to give people what they really want - unlimited access to high-quality music, sound effects, video and images. Having access to an endless well of quality, royalty-free content is a huge asset to creators.
Consistently publishing high-quality, informative, educational and engaging content is one of the best ways to drive traffic to your site, grow your audience and ultimately, sales. Humans have an insatiable appetite for videos, infographics, presentations, listicles, and “whoa, dude” images. If you work in the creative/marketing/web world, it’s your mantra, and if not - it should be. I Want it All and I Want it Now!Ĭontent is King. The move to an “all-you-can-eat” subscription model is here to stay and has touched many sectors of the creative industry.

With the advent of affordable workstations, more and more people began producing records, indie films and cat videos. Music producers would recycle library samples or lift them from records which created potential copyright infringement issues if they chose to distribute the work. You were lucky to find samples that fit your project and weren’t overused or too recognizable. Whether you were looking for snare one-shots or room tone, these samples came on disk in a variety of file formats and were priced from $40-60 (on the low end) to well over a thousand bucks.
