Best freeware for soundtracking

Channel your inner cinema auteur – for much less than a bucket of popcorn

Those who write and produce for picture have an experience quite unlike others in music production. Whether you’re soundtracking sci-fi blockbusters, historical epics, subtle character dramas, or even the immersive music of an interactive video game world, your relationship with the emotion of the visuals is a crucial director that your compositions need to work in synergy with. There’s also been a move away from that type of big, John Williams-esque score, as increasing numbers of soundtracks harness sound-effect-like textures to create more delicate movement and impacts. Some of these free goodies will certainly help you out in that regard.
