How does the travel channel get soundtracks?
The answer doesn't have to specifically apply to the travel channel. It could apply to smaller budget documentary style shows or even something like Amazing Race. Do they actual have people compose new soundtracks for every show? Do they license already existing music for every show? Do they buy a giant royalty free soundtrack library? or is it a combination of all three? Also I'm working on a travel documentary and need a soundtrack but can't spend a fortune (no > $500) and am hoping people can make some recommendations for going the royalty free or similar route.
most of the credits in the documentaries of BBC, Discovery, list actual composers of the music. Since these composers work for companies that provide material to the networks, they are salaried.
I have noticed some documentaries use licensed soundtracks but have the freedom to edit/mash-up the music as see fit.
I would check with kijiji or check local musician website, to put an add for somebody to collaborate with for free - many of us musicans will work for free to get exposure and credits in work/film.
