On the page “Hot tracks” you will find the hottest 500 tracks at the moment in our Proud Music Library. This chart changes daily to give you an up to date impression on what is hot on our platform. This is much more dynamic than the All-Time-Charts that are also available.
We have just extended our production music charts to 20 pages with 25 tracks each. The charts and the hot tracks now show up to 500 tracks to give you a broader view of featured tracks.
We have just made some more changes to the library. This time we focussed on the mediaplayer:
1. The player now shows behind every trackname whether this track is registered with a royalty collecting society or completely royalty free music. This is just another way of displaying this information, in addition to the different colours of tracks in the search listing and the PRO label within each tracks metadata. This should save you some scrolling, if this information is important to you – depending on the medium you work for.
2. We changed the size of the media player, it is now considerably larger. So now a lot more tracks fit into the playlist at once without scrolling.
We do hope, that these improvements make researching for the best music to fit your project much more comfortable and easy to use!
If you have suggestions, please call us or send us a mail, we need to know, so we can fix it! Thank you!

Our clients request the inclusion of Moneybookers as a further payment provider for its approach to support local payment methods in a lot of countries, e.g. IDEAL in the Netherlands, CartaSi in Italy, Carte Bleue in France and Giropay in Germany. Thank you for submitting this suggestion, the new checkout option is already installed in addition to the current checkout options.
For you as a client, there are of course no additional fees added to your license fees, if you choose to checkout through Moneybookers.
The arrangement defines how the composition is being performed. Therefore the instruments playing are chosen first. After that, the rhythmic figures of the instruments are defined for to reach the harmonic structure that the composer intends. Usually this is done by notation, but in modern studio productions also by giving audio examples or oral briefings.
In our Proud Music Library you can find many filter functions (like the search for similar tracks) to improve the search results you get. The search screen offers amongst others the selection of different arrangements. This might be for example pop, rock and jazz, but also orchestra arrangements.
The Proud Music Library contains a wide spectrum of music genres online. You can download the tracks of different genres directly and license them for your projects in marketing, advertisement, movie, electronic games or background music. Therefor the listed titles in the Proud Music Library are attributed to particular genres. Because of that the query will deliver accurate results. Beside the research of genres you can also get search results after mood, character, tempo, instrumental, etc.
The term “ramp” is used by radio broadcasting producers. In the intro of a song, there are usually no vocal sets. So, the Radio DJ can use this part as a ramp for introducing the next title. A different use case can be the early fade-in of the next track during the previous moderation, so that the ramp ends at the same time as the moderation.
Ramps also are useful for the production of corporate or product films. As production music tracks are usually instrumental tracks, the term ramps does not refer to vocals but instead to the arrangement. In this contexts the intro before the full arrangement begins serves as a ramp. Usually the end of the ramp signalises a change in visual theme, so that sound and image synchronously generate attention.
We just made some changes to our server infracstructure to increase our service quality for our Proud Music Library. Our website runs faster now – especially when a lot of clients are researching music at the same time. By the way: right now 6 servers are at your service. 🙂
If you experience errors, it would be very helpful if you could drop us a note. Anyway, we do wish you a good start into 2009. We are looking forward to the new projects!
“Production music” is basically defined by two core attributes – in content and in a legal attribute.
Start here to search for Production Music in the Proud Music Library:
1. Production music is pre-cleared-music:
Production music is planned to be used in audiovisual products. A large part of the necessary rights can be clarified previously by a music publisher. The rights clearance can thus be cost- and time-saving.
Production Music is offered by production music libraries, these are music publishers who act primary as supplier for the media industry. The Proud Music Library Publishing has a large online content especially for the media sector. It is easily to handle per search engine.
2. Production music has a special applicability to be connected with visual media:
Not every music style is suitable for the use in media productions. Production music however is picked out in respect of the different requirements of media producers/companies. In our Proud Music Library you can search for different attributes like mood, character, instrumentation or tempo – depending on what style of music your current production requires.
