All great suggestions....one more (at least from my humble perspective), leave the bubble sounds in, maybe toned down a bit, but I think they add to the flavor.

Actually, I rarely use bubble sounds in any of my films. In fact, when I capture my clips to the computer, more times than not, I capture video only. Why take up good hard drive space with unused audio of bubbles?

I looked at Freeplay, it does not look very free to me. They charge $25 for 4 minutes on something like a Youtube video. So for a 10 minute video it's about $75. You may be able to download them, but using them according to what I read has a licensing fee. Certainly less than the music industry, but still not free as the title suggests.
Currently I like the YouTube method of putting ads with it and if they get a take down notice, so be it.
I've only loaded up 2 videos to Youtube just tonight/this morning. I got a notice from them about copyright and there is an ad with it for similar music. The music industry really should have got the idea by now that we amateurs doing it for fun are not buying a license for our hobby. They also might just sell some music this way too:shocked2: I've purchased 3 songs after listening to music on a video by one of the members here (Laura I think - She Pee videos). I did not even buy that music but other songs I found while searching for the one song that it turned out I already had

If you have aspirations of serious production more than family birthday parties and the occassional 'dive trip' videos for friends, then you might as well invest in a real audio program. While Final Cut Studio offers Soundtrack Pro as one of their included apps and you can create your own royalty free music within it as well as use it to fix various audio issues, I would highly recommend, whether for Mac or PC, buying Smart Sounds Sonic Fire Pro...it is very easy to use, highly intuitive and you can, over time, buy either individual cuts or whole discs. I have more royalty free music from different companies than I know what to do with but I always seem to revert to Sonic Fire, it is just perfect for most anyone's needs. If you like a cut but only want it to last 13. 5 seconds, it will automatically make it for you. You can bring in video and edit the music to video or edit video to music. It is worth the investment and they are constantly having sales.

I will have to give a look at Smart Sounds. I have used Sony Cinescore on my Indonesia and Roatan videos. It works well since it edits right on the Sony Vegas timeline. Sony recently discontinued it probably because Smart Sounds is so established.

The music on dive films, both professional and amateur is one of my biggest bugbears! Everybody goes for the same sounding and ambient feel types of music and it gets a little dull after the 500th listen, also a lot of editors don't edit to the music so the separation between image and music make sthe footage seem awkward.
Totally agree on the problem of using licensed music, how about this for a suggestion though? Most royalty free music is horrible, do you know any musicians or bands who you think might be interested in you either using their existing music or even writing a piece for you? It involves others in your project and also allows you some creative input, plus you will be the only person using that music!
Much better than just using the same lift muzak as everyone else :cool2:
