It is becoming a kinda necessity to add music to your videos before publishing. Why not! music has become the most interesting thing for viewers. When it comes to YouTube, we mostly browse and listen to the latest, old, and favorite music. This is all that is related to visitors. On the other hand, to change the mood and see what is related to YouTubers to add music background to their videos.
I think we all know about copyrighted music.
Let's avoid all of that by using all the tips I'm sharing in today's video to help you find some awesome music for your videos and avoid copyright. Before getting into where to find coffee music.
Let's see about where not to get copyright-free music and that would be on YouTube. If you search up copyright-free music on YouTube you're going to find videos on videos upon channels, and channels full of videos offering you loads of copyright-free music that supposedly allows you to use this music without getting copyrighted.
The reason why this doesn't work is; because the claims on these songs can be changed at any time so while the amazing covered songs can be copyright-free today it may not be in six months and why know this is. In the case is because one in Sadie Alice's video she mentioned how she used this one song for months on end in her video and cards and then one day out of random every one of her videos got copyrighted because a song had their claims changed.
In my own experience on YouTubers channels, the famous aesthetic intro template video that now has over three hundred thousand comments had to have one of its songs muted in the video. Because again the artist changed their claim on the song they wanted to take all of their ad revenue.
To protect yourself from this happening, don't take anybody's word on YouTube about copyright-free music, and don't use any of that music.
The first free option for finding copyright-free music is the YouTube audio library. There are millions of free songs uploaded here every single day. You can sift through all the different songs and add different kinds of filters to find music perfect for your channel.
In addition, you can also filter songs by attribution status which means if a song has no attribution, then you are free to use it whereas if a song does have attribution, that means you have to give the artist credit in your description box.
Seemingly, all you have to do is hit the download button on the song, download the song to your computer and you are free to use it in your videos completely free of charge.
The second option you have for copyright-free music is epidemic sound. This is basically a license-based platform where you purchase a month-by-month license and with this license, you gain automatic access to over 32,000 songs. 64,000 sound effects you can use in your videos copyright-free and have no fear of being copyrighted or losing your revenue.
I don't personally use epidemic sounds because I don't want to pay for a license. But it is one way to save your back and not have to worry about copyright strikes or copyright claims and go about adding music to your videos completely carefree.
The third option you have that I personally love doing is to collaborate with artists. Basically, how I go about doing this is I find a bunch of underrated artists on YouTube or Instagram, or other social platforms. I send them either a DM and/or an email and let them know { hey I stumbled across your music I really like it}.
I'd love to use it in one of my youtube videos. Can I gain permission to do so and nine times out of ten this works off of a credit basis?
So basically, the artist allows you to use their music in your videos as long as you give them credit in your description box which I have no problem with because they deserve it for giving me free music.
Then what happens once you agree to this is the artist will whitelist your channel, which means that when YouTube would typically give you a copyright claim it. Basically, tell the system NO! this person has access to it, they're allowed to use it and skips on the copyright claim. So this is a win-win situation. The artist gets free exposure, you get free music for your videos and everybody's happy.
One another very similar option is; SoundCloud. SoundCloud is essentially a platform through new and up-and-coming artists; it's where people like post-Malone and Macklemore first started their careers before they got famous so very similar to my last idea.
I just basically go through SoundCloud to find a bunch of music I like that matches the vibe of my videos and/or my channel. then I will contact the artist ask them for permission to use their music in my videos offer them credit or whatever not and if they agree then I get access to
free credit and everybody's happy so that is just one more place to find really cool, really unique music that you have permission to use without copyright claims, and have good music for your videos.
The final option I've been loving lately is going directly to youtube channels, selecting any type of music, and totally downloading for free. How does that happen?
Simply, on the YouTube platform, there are many channels that offer and post free copyright music daily. And those kinds of music are amazing, popular, and profitable. The only thing you can do is type in the search bar: free copyrights music to get a long list of various names and kinds of songs.
