HI All,
I'm brand new to pond5 and exploring around to see what's available.
Right now I'm looking for a music track for a very short, (2 minute) video as an experiment for a youtube upload.
I added 1 track to my cart to find out it was $20. Are there any less expensive options or is this what I can expect to pay for most downloads. It would be different if this was a commercial vid that I anticipated a lot of views of, but that's not the case this time.
Thanks

Unfortunately there are a lot of products here that are way underpriced. Many artists that sell here are professionals and this is the way they pay for food, home, clothes, utilities and hopefully can give them and their family a good life. When hobby shooters dump inexpensive products it really does hurt lots of fellow photographers and musicians. We all understand the want to get things cheap, WalMart used to advertise all their products were made int he USA. Since "people" demanded lower prices they had to turn to China. Not necessarily because they wanted too but because they had too to meet public's demand.

We all hope you can find what you need but at the same time support the artists here at Pond5 to at least cover their expenses of time, equipment, education, internet , software etc etc. If you can make the same music for your YouTube for less than $20 that is great and maybe you can submit it for sale also. Good luck and thanks for supporting us as artists here at P5.
