Neumann Film: The Drama Toolbag and My Current Hero

Cameras

I hate looking for, and licensing, music tracks. When producing, generally the budget to license tracks is just however much I’m willing to spend out of my budget (which is usually pretty tight). I can probably come up with a few (hundred) other reasons licensing music is a pain, but let’s just move on.

I’m hugely impressed with Neumann Film’s large array of downloads available for purchase, they have music packages, “cinematic presets” for virtually any editing software, as well as stock aerial footage.

I caught the tail-end of their daily freebie tracks in July, getting only a few tracks for free. Since then, I bought the Horror Movie Music Album for a specific client. That alone has been invaluable to my work for the past 2 weeks with them, and will continue to be for years to come as I work with them on an annual horror event.

Earlier this week I ordered the full 2012 and 2013 daily freebie albums, 21 royalty-free songs for $24.99 and 35 royalty-free songs for $29.99, respectively. On top of that, I pre-ordered The Drama Toolbag for $39.99, it’s now available at it’s regular price of $49.99. I am picking through that now for a project and it’s fantastically worth it.

The “daily freebie” albums are just songs, but both the horror pack and drama toolbag include full tracks, and other relevant sound elements that you might need.

So far, I have to say Neumann has knocked it out of the park when it comes to getting amazing royalty-free tracks at bargain bin prices, it’s nice to have a catalog of tracks that are actually good and ready to use, Neumann’s is a great place to start. I’m excited to see what I get in the drama toolbag.

This endorsement comes purely from the fact that I am so happy with it, I’ve had no direct communication with Neumann ever to my knowledge, but I would like to shake their collective hands if I ever get the chance. You can preview the tracks available in each package through the links above.
