Sharksdelight, do you have any sample songs you created ? I've played around with Acid Music and found it difficult to create an actual song. Even listening to other peoples stuff sounded like just a couple of loops thrown together.
Music to go with videos?

Ron,
If you go to Mary Lynn Price's Divefilms.com site and click on Nocturnal Nebulous you can hear the music I have created in Apples Soundtrack and, one piece, from Smart Sound. Acid, like Soundtrack(tho I haven't used Acid) is more time consuming, by far, than Sonicfire. A piece must be built and a feel for the music is important. You don't have to be a musician but, you are correct, simply splicing one clip on another is not the best way to go. Sonicfire can be used by anyone whether they have a music background or not.
I'll have to check at home but I think I have saved other music pieces that I created that I can send you if you wish. You know as well as I , however, that a piece of music must fit the footage and the mood you're trying to create.

I asked myself this question a little while ago so I went into my iTunes collection and found something from an artest you'd never suspect: Jimi Hedrix. from the Electric Ladyland LP I used a tune caled "Mermaid". Edit and loop it as you see fit.
While on water theams "La Mer" by Claude Debussy comes to mind. I like John Coletrane too. Actually Debussy and Coletrane are alike in that both are so abstract that they do not "steal" the action from the video. I really do not want a "catchy" tune under my video.
Also I don't really feel to bad about ripping off Hendrix, Coletrane or Debussy. Neither of them will see any more money for their work no matter what I do.
I come at it from a different angle - know what music you want and then build the film edit around it - gives a much more integrated result in the end I think:

It's not a matter of willingness but rather copyright infringements. BUT there are other sources that you can utilize on your own to download them.

Let me know what type of thing you're looking for (pace, target audience type, genre etc) and i'll see what I can dig up for you ;o)
