Title: Audio stock recommendations
Post by: Fred on March 07, 2010, 08:24

I am trying to get started selling audio stock.  I have just been accepted by iStock's audio section and am waiting for my first submittals to be reviewed.

Can anyone recommend some other sites?

Thanks and

Pond5 is the only site I have uploaded audio to so far.  2 uploads, one sold twice so far. 
My referral link is in my signature.

Yes I confirm Pond5 seems quite good I got a sale there. You can try audiomicro as well

You can find on my blog  a list of the agencies I submit to:

I usually rent the London Philharmonic for a day.  ::)
PS - Ivan described his workflow in detail a while ago. It's not "recorded" but sampled, except for the real vocal lines. The only thing you need is a good program and a keyboard (not the one with the letters, but with the funny black and white sticks).

I use this but it was the cheapest I could find recommended in the istock audio forum.  Do a search there and you might find something better.

I don't use istock for audio because their prices are too cheap and with commissions at 15 to 20%, it doesn't seem worth it but the audio forum is good.
