Free stock audio from AudioMicro
June 24th, 2009 by Benjamin KuoRyan Born, CEO and founder of AudioMicro, which is creating an online marketplace for stock audio clips (for use in online videos, etc.) passes on that he’s giving readers of socalTECH free music downloads if they join the site. He said that readers of socalTECH who want two free download credits (worth $8.99) can join using the code SOCALTECH2.
Born is hoping that his company can gain a good position in the emerging stock audio market, a market which is paralleling the stock photography market in allowing people to more easily download and use audio tracks, sound effects, etc. through royalty-free licenses. His firm is going up against one of the big guys in the market — Getty Images — which just launched its own stock audio service, iStockAudio, earlier this year. His firm is backed by DFJ Frontier.
