Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

loud and irritating music for GoPro edits

 Poster: A snowHead

OK....note that CThovex uses high quality ambient so that the skiing takes pole position, not the music. This is a prudent approach. But I hate c**p videos accompanied by well-crafted music. Wrecks the music....

I like M83 a lot, but Midnight City it is currently top of the list for music which only works if the skiing is truly excellent:

The synth 'hook' is described by my partner as 'very schreechy...' - best at full volume pulling out of the lift station car park (windows shut). Good trad sax.

Second place is nicely crafted Pendulum

As we go into the season of a million punters with Go Pro HD and youtube skiing overload just be careful with the soundtrack choices.....

 Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I predict as ever the most popular songs from the ski movies that come out in a month or so will be the main aural feature of most self-edits.

I actually find the music pretty hard to choose when it comes to making my little videos.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'm new to the forum but hope I can provide some useful info, advice and a resource for GoPro music that will be of value to users.

We're a royalty free music library, and provide our own collection of GoPro Music which you can find here: http://bit.ly/1SmSD0O

When using music in your YouTube videos, or any online avenue/platform there's a few points to consider:

1. Will it be flagged as using copyright material?
2. Will you be able to monetize it?
3. Will ads be placed alongside your content?

The simplest method is to license legitimate royalty free music that offers you a full license to use the music in the content you produce, monetize it if you wish, and not claim copyright on your content.

There are 'free' resources out there that offer 'free' music. This can end up kicking you in the butt because:

1. It's free until you try and monetize it
2. It's free but the music creator will monetize YOUR content
3. It's free, but the distributor doesn't have the rights to assign to you and a third party may claim copyright
4. It's free, but the creator will place ads alongside your content either for competitor products or services

I've also written an article (http://bit.ly/1KoAmh2), addressing popular YouTube myths and misconceptions about music licensing which might prove 'some' users with some useful insight into the process.

In short, like anything else there are cheaper solutions, and more premium solutions but in order to ensure you content will go online without copyright issues, full monetization functionality and no interference, it's always best to license music from an established royalty free music library. Word of mouth from those with experience using their preferred library is always helpful, and I hope this info from us will help also.
