Some of us here have the musical talents and whatnot to create and record their own theme.  For the rest of us (like me), here's one good resource:
http://shockwave-sound.com/

I've used it for projects in the past.  Their prices are awesome, the licensing agreement really favors the end user**, and they have a pretty good selection of different kinds of music in different formats.

Anyone else know of good sources?


** You pay one flat price, and you get rights to use the track as many times as you want on as many projects as you want in perpetuity, with the only limitations being on how you're allowed to modify it and how many copies of any single project you can make before you'd need to move up to the higher licensing price.

This has been my music source so far.  http://www.incompetech.com/  Musician Kevin MacLeod.  Some of it is his recordings of public domain songs, but the bulk of it his his own music and he makes all available for free via creative commons license.  He accepts donations (which I plan to make once I'm selling tracks instead of giving them away), but to take advantage of the license all you need to do is credit him properly.  He uses this to get composing work, so if you have something specific you want that you can't find there you can commission him to write it.  I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know what his prices would be for work like that.

I second that. His music library is an amazing resource.

Consider it, um, thirded.  Let's hope none of us use the same themes, though, eh?

I've been planning to use different themes for different tracks to match the tone of the movie.  For the Nightmare on Elm Street riffs so far I'm using his song "Interloper" and I'm about to use "Space Explorers" to introduce the Star Trek riff.
