Professional advice
Selecting music
If you need assistance in selecting music tracks, Opensound is available to give you the best advice. The experience we have built up over the years of working in the field, along with our perfect knowledge of our library resources, enable us to meet your creative needs quickly and effectively.
In practical terms, we can participate in person to briefing sessions, if deadlines and distances allow it; alternatively we can receive your requests via telephone or email. We can also suggest our own solutions, drawing on our long-standing experience.
If you are a registered user, this service is completely free.
Assistance in applying for licences
Do you want to be certain that the music used in your work conforms to copyright regulations?
On request, we will provide you with an explanation of the issues concerning copyright and related fees.
If you are a registered user, we can advise you in filling out the forms, free of charge.
Technical support
If you are a registered user, we also provide support when you use Opensound’s on-line catalogue. Phone or contact us. We will be happy to help you and demonstrate all the possibilities offered by our powerful search engine.
Fast Library - our entire music library on one DVD!
Our Fast Library DVD-ROM is a practical tool to have on hand. It contains the entire Opensound catalogue in mp3 format so that you can instantly listen to the tracks and carry out fast editing tests.
This will make your selection easier without taking up too much useful space.
Request it in the contact page or telephone and you will receive it quickly and free of charge.
If you prefer, though, we also provide traditional audio CDs. We will send them free of charge to your address upon request.
Original Music - our creativity at your service
When artistic and production needs call for an original soundtrack to a project, Opensound offers its creativity and expertise.
We will choose the most appropriate composers to fit your specifications. Our artists will expressly create test and definitive pieces for advertisements, medium- and full-length films and documentaries; but also signature tunes, musicals, multimedia installations, music for websites and musical commentaries in general.
The extensive experience of Opensounds staff provides a solid point of reference in the field of applied composition; we aim to achieve a high standard of quality in our offers and accuracy in the creation of audio projects.
Contact our staff or telephone, describe your project and you will soon receive an estimate.
Music Editing - we can edit and mix music to your images in our studio
Do you need help in editing music onto your film?
Opensound can do even better. If you are a registered user, we will put all our technical support and professionalism at your disposal by combining music and images free of charge.
You can visit our studio directly or, if it is more convenient, you can send us the film in the format you prefer. We will carry out the editing and also the mixing, if needed.
Your Version - we arrange our music to fit your needs
Have you chosen a piece of music but would prefer the theme to be played on the guitar rather than the piano? Our staff has already created alternative mixes (versions) of many tracks available in our Library, with different sound situations and instruments. This means that you already have many editing solutions at hand.
You can expand these possibilities further by requesting a track to be mixed according to your own specifications. We keep the multi-track recordings of almost all our musical output in our archive. We can therefore give you the choice of one solo instrument rather than another, the presence or absence of rhythmics, the addition of a strings section, a variation in the level of the instruments within the mix, a different editing of the structure of the track, and much more. We will create a new, personalized mix according to your instructions.
This service is offered free of charge to all our registered users.
