Artlist, Epidemic Sound, Filmstro, Musicbed, Soundstripe.. there's a ton of platforms that offer music licensing for youtube, commercial use, businesses, and advertisements.. but I unfortunately found a reason to start trying to find the "best" one. I got a copyright claim on a 30 second video I made myself, for my wife's business (that I am part owner in) - and while I understand Epidemic Sound reached out and reversed a lot of those claims (they were sent out in an automated fashion) I realized that my wife's business page wasn't covered by my epidemic sound license at all and the claim shouldn't be reversed, because it only covers a single social media account per platform, per subscription. This was incredibly frustrating, so I looked through the licensing terms of all the available platforms I could find, and Artlist was by far the least expensive and most versatile platform in terms of being easy to use, and maximum flexibility on their licenses.. one license covers every project on every platform forever, and you can keep using songs in future projects after you cancel your license.

GUYS - after publishing this video, here's a quote from Artlist via email: "..I want to update you that SFX is coming soon......probably the course of next month."
that was my only concern about Artlist.....not enough SFX
I got a 1 year subscription to Filmstro as part of a bundle, and have to say I personally love it, because while in the past I often edited to the music, if the goal is trying to tell a story. I literately spent 2-3 days sifting through almost right music to something that fit both the mood and pacing I was after. With Filmstro I can find something that has the the proper pacing and feel, and then use it's sliders for emphasizing and de-emphasizing areas of the story resulting in a far more satisfying end product in much less time than playing the music hunt game. While it's no where as good as paying a quality composer to score something, for me, it's so much more organic. Yes, it involves more time focused on sculpting the music, but other than the need to occasionally add littler music emphasis elements , like orchestral hits on top I've found it to be a less time consuming process. Also I wanted to add that, for my process, I edit with Resolve, and render out a relatively garbage quality video for Filmstro so it takes little time to render, as it's only for Filmstro syncing purpose, then render out the audio only from Filmstro and layer it back into my Resolve project vs rendering my final result out of Filmstro. I personally can't imagine why one would ever render their final video directly from Filmstro. Anyhow just an opinion and personal feedback.
@@billyoung9538 What is their cost and is it paid monthly or like Artlist where you have to pay for the year?
@@JQUICK21 I got it bundles for roughly $40 for the year. Normally it ranges from $99 (UA-camr) up to $499 (Broadcast Ads & TV) per year depending on the usage purpose.
Thank you, I submitted my music to Artlist. I wasn’t sure where to submit my music on Artlist or epidemic sound. Your video was great, straight to the point. Wish you all the best❤️.
Hey, Miichael. I was meaning to ask: how is that process of uploading music to Artlist and do you recieve any sort of income from that? Thank you so much :)
This was a good video! I had a epidemic sound sub for a year, it just expired and I haven't yet renewed, but I have a bunch of the music down loaded and a couple projects not yet finished that were "going" to use their music, but not after watching this.
This helps me a lot on understanding their licensing. Thank you so much especially for those situation samples!
thanks for posting this video. I was not more than five minutes into it when I made the decision of signing up for artlist. I am so tired of copyright claims :)
Was about to pull the trigger on Epidemic, and didn't because of this. Thanks for making this! No one else mentioned the fact that you can't send/use segments in Epidemic, in other reviews.
Thanks for the tip. I've ran into the same problem when working on freelance video projects. I'll use Artlist on my next project.
You’re gonna love it
Great video! Also the mike you’re using is amazing! I enjoy listing to you speak.
Thank you :)
just what i was looking for thank you so much for this video!
at 5:00 artlist is awesome but if i read terms of licensing now ( june 2021) it says about universal licensing : "once you downloaded Assets under this License and integrated them into your Projects, you can use your Projects forever and ever, even after your subscription has expired. [...] Once your License is expired you will not be able to download additional Assets and use them in new Projects." so i undertsand that if i cancel my subscription, there will be no copyright claim with existing content i already publish but not for future project.
Artlist is an awesome resource for any UA-camr/freelancer/creator! The accessibility of the licenses that they offer on their audio is unreal, and really let's you use it in every situation you'd ever need!
Hey Tommy! had the same issue recently! thanks for this, will check it out!
i purchased an expensive $80 license from audio jungle and made an entire after effects template for a intro to a youtube show using that song. then uploaded the first video to youtube and it was flagged:/. they are flagging their own music they sell:(
That's messed up.
Seriously appreciate you sharing this 🤜🤛
Wow some very interesting and helpful information, thanks.
Thanks Tommy... you solve me a lot of issues than will come soon. I subscibe with your link. Thanks so much!
Glad I could help! You're going to love artlist.
Man you and I must be on the same wave length because my video that I posted yesterday was a similar topic (I broke down the 4 big services) and Artlist of course was the best for licensing and all. I agree with this statement.
No doubt. Once you look at the licensing, it’s obvious!
Very helpful because am new to UA-cam and I want to learn as much as possible so Good bless you for sharing what you know .
Thank you for this video. So, you mean it is allowed to make a video and post it on your wife's social media? Then how can they check if that video is from you?
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the info! is what i was looking for, Gracias Amigo!
Next time I get some commercial gigs I'm getting this service I'm tired of dealing with bad selection or incredibly high prices
Thank you for the info...I totally love artlist and it works fantastic for my channel...
Hi Tommy! If you use Artlist for your clients video, how will artlist nor youtube know that the client have the license? Thank you!
I was liking the video until you mentioned you use Resolve, then I was loving it. Good shit man
Great information my good man. Thanks for the video.
No prob dude - thanks for watching!
what if you use only one month subscription? can you use all songs that you downloaded in that month in the future videos or live streams without coypright?
Yes.. but you have to buy a one year license at a time (no monthly plans), otherwise literally everyone would be doing that.
Dang just bought a month of service with epidemic😱 and actually working on a MotoVlog.. Thank for this just "on time" video mate.
Thank you so much for a great video!
Since I 'm a new subscriber, can you tell me how did you sound proof the room and everything about your studio? How much did it cost, did you do it yourself or you hired someone. And the next thing- is Pixabay music safe to use for music videos?
Tommy, I totally agree with you going with Artlist.io over Epidemic for the reasons you outlined. However for folks that just can't swallow coming up with the entire yearly cost, would Soundstripe be the best alternative?
Soundstripe is significantly more frustrating and less permissive to use. You need to download a single use license for every song you want to use, but then and add a description or link to where you are actually using that song, for every project you intend on using the song for. I have no intention to ever use an annoying service like that.
I'd like to know as well
Do they let you try before buying?
The licensing model sounds great, but I'd like to check the music out before I commit (even short bits like on musicbed)
I have both Artlist and Soundstripe, both of which I use for my commercial work. I think Artlist has more options, but Soundstripe's search options are far better in my experience.
Do you have to pay the artlist annual fee in one lump amount or does it come out each month?
If I make a video for a client and he uploads it to his social media, how does artlist know that the song is covered by my license?
Do I have to put the link to the video somewhere inside artlist's menu or how does it work?
Envato Elements! Monthly or yearly subscription and you also get a lot of other stuff like sound effects, stock video, photo's, etc.
Happened the same to me, I have another youtube channel linked to my Epidemic sound, now I opened this channel and I uploaded 1 video and it got claimed. After many emails they just fought back and had to take it down. It's crazy how they do this, now I'm wondering what's happening with all the work that I've done to my clients for 2 last years. Unbelievable, just unbelievable. I'm cancelling my subscription now, and switching to somewhere else.
Really helpful video man!
Thats what I needed to hear. Sold and Subbed. Thank you sir
Thanks for sharing!
Hey man, thank you for this video.
Do you know if they will also claim your video when you use their six after you cancel the subscription?
so after a year, you change services artlist won't take the song after or ask for profits from monetized videos?
correct.
Thank you , Thank you
I use Epidemic sound and love it.
This actually happened to me on my UA-cam channel because I entered a wrong character in my Link to my channel
So for months, I couldn't monetize until Epidemic figured it out and then they reversed everything
So............... Question... What will happen to the videos I already have epidemic music on if I switch??????
Thanks for all you do Tommy
best regards, Rick
When you switch, any videos you published while you had an active subscription with ES will remain safe, no go for future videos though.
@@TommyCallaway
OK Thanks brother
I feel safer that I can count on you and your expertise
best, Rick
I wish these companies would make their content available via an app like Spotify where you could create playlists for different moods and genres. I find a lot of my inspiration comes from listening to music on the go, not sitting at my PC trying to find a good song for editing my footage. I like Epidemic but understand why you must have felt aggrieved. Also surprised you aren’ rich - with those looks, that voice and the awesomely lit studio, thought you’d be coining it in😂
Thank you Dan! Haha, UA-cam is a fantastic hobby / passion, but saving money is a no brainer. Investigative pieces like this will lead me to be able to do UA-cam and other video creation full time. Also, thanks for the kind words :)
You should take a look at Soundly for sound FX 👍
I read a lot of ppl complain that epidemic sound will claim your video even if you use their license when your video gets traction.
For quite a few of my videos I tend to start with the music and edit the video to the beat and movement of the music. I've been a subscriber of Epidemic Sound for quite awhile now... I'm very, very seriously considering cancelling my subscription to them now. Artlist sounds amazing... one of my main concerns with these systems is "are the artists being fairly compensated?" Would you know how their compensation works for artists?
I don’t, but I will ask them and get an answer soon!
@@TommyCallaway Thank you. As a creative (mostly photographer, but sometimes video maker) I'm pretty careful to use services where fellow creatives are being paid fairly :)
Hi. Is it true, that i can still use music from Artlist in my future Video,( which I already downloaded with my active subscription), if my subscription already expires ? for example if my subscription expired yesterday, can i still use music downloaded for tomorrow in my future project ? thank you in advance :)
Yes, you can!
Thank you for this information! It was exactly what I nedeed to know.
You’re welcome!
Super helpful video thank you! I ran into the same issue just recently with Epidemic and have been looking for a new service I have a few small UA-cam channels and would get claimed if I put my videos on the other channels, as this channel is the only one I can put on Epidemic sound. They need to rethink their strategy IMO.
Agreed, 100%
So i can use the music for a Netflix serie or film with no copyright claim?
Thanks for the advice
Thank you so much for sharing I almost sign up in Epidemic sounds. tnx again
Funny thing Tommy is that I used UA-cam non-copyrighted music from their list, and after 3 months it got copyrighted, so I replaced it with another song from the same list, (in UA-cam editor)... and my YT earn is way smaller then yours, lol
This is very helpful indeed 🙌🏽🎧🎬 I personally use Soundstripe. I think they may claim music tho. However, they did allow me to use their music commercially and for broadcast commercials without added commercial fees. Super helpful for small creators doing small business commercials locally. Music bed also has absolutely beautiful music for cinematic films, but is also very expensive lol! Only one use per video and also does not allow you to make smaller cuts with any changes like adding a logo to the end of those smaller cuts from that same film you licensed to 🙄🙄🙄 The smaller clips would be for social media like a teaser then adding logos to each end. They consider that a “new film” and want you to pay again for each “new” cut which is a small res 15-30 sec clip from the film you already licensed. Eeesh 😤
Seriously. So glad I stumbled on artlist.
I jumped on Audiio from Musicbed for similar headaches. I get they like to tailor to UA-cam content creators, but I primarily use music for short films which I often enter into festivals. So I didn't want any sort of headaches and was told directly by Musicbed I had to bump to a higher license that's nearly 10 times as much per month to use their licensed music for Film Festivals. Crazy if you ask me, if I'm lucky a few thousand people may see the film in a festival run. The possibility to reach those numbers and surpass them is far greater on UA-cam, not sure why film festival falls under the "commercial usage" membership...oh well.
I'll look into Artlist as well though great content Tommy!
Thank you Seth!
Have you had issues with audiio? I’ve just switched and do content for UA-cam channels
@@philpritchard8772 I don't use it much for UA-cam content, but the things I've shared here I've had no issues.
Can you use music for 3 different UA-cam channels (with 3 different emails/google accounts) ?
So what now that the Artlist forever License is gone? is it still better?
Thanks for sharing your story bro. I use Melody Loops and it’s a Pay Per Song and not subscription based site.
I agree that Artist is the better service due to things exactly like this! I cannot wait till they release SFX libraries. That will be amazing. I do use both because occasionally I won't be able to find the song I want for a project on UA-cam, however for almost all projects I use Artlist simply because I know they won't claim regardless of the platform the video goes on
I'm SO looking forward to those SFX.. going to change the game for me.
They just released it :D
Hey! Great video! Do you receive compensation from sign ups on art list after the 10 people you need for lifetime?
If you are able to join their affiliate program, yes.
Thanks!!
Can you use Artlist for LIVE sessions on social media? And does it work also for professionals or small companies or only for probate individuals?
Yes, and yes.
PLEASE HELP! I purchased the Artlist.io yearly subscription and my audio is still downloading with the watermark
I don't get your issue. The terms and conditions are very clear on the first page of the plans description. The "Personal" plan is for ONE social media channel. I am on the fence about strting a membership, but I understand this restriction.
Tommy: this might be a bit late to the party but since you made this video a new service, Audiio has emerged. It has an option for a one time payment license for music and SFX that appears to be the same licensing agreement as Artlist has. The lifetime for music is $299 while the yearly for music and SFX is the same as Artlist. Lifetime on SFX is one time $299. I got the lifetime music because I don't usuall need SFX and the music library is growing quite quickly since I got it. Same sort browsing method as Art;list: genre, mood, tempo, style etc. Might be worth checking out.
I have looked at their licensing - it’s good, I may do a video soon, but there are slightly more restrictions on using it for VOD (like Netflix) which still require additional commercial upgrades. Adequate for someone like me, though artlist is still better IMO. Also, I did find the music on Artlist was much closer to my personal taste, finding tracks I liked on audiio was pretty difficult. I only really liked one or two tracks after browsing for like an hour. I might have to give it a month or so, then I’ll check it out again.
7:04 with that restriction, does that mean that you have to use all of the songs you've downloaded to youtube or other platforms in order for you to be able to keep all the songs for eternity once you have unsubscribed?
I just made my first video with Artlist video and am checking to see how to upload it without getting a copyright claim. I have my License but not sure if I need to know "Do I put my License in the Description where someone will see it?" Or wait to see if I am flagged and then send it in the Dispute.
You won't get flagged, but if you ever do, the license is your "proof" to reverse it. You can add your channel link in your artlist account settings to further prevent the possibility of an accidental flag. You don't need to add license info to any video you publish.
@@TommyCallaway Thanks.
Thanks
Another point is if you have two channels (for eg two languages) Epidemic tells you to simply do two subscriptions.... F*ing messed up.
I've been with Artlist for 2 years now and I absolutely love it.
Hi Great informative video thanks. I'm looking for a track for my UA-cam channel videos, can I ask do you get a license code/key with every download that I would presume I would need to show UA-cam I have the rights - I'm guessing I would copy and paste it in the UA-cam description?
No, you just add your UA-cam channel to the approved locations. Every time you download a track, license will be emailed to you And saved in artlist. If there is ever a claim on your video, you can just send the license from your email or artist as “proof” with a counter claim. But there shouldn’t ever be a claim.
@@TommyCallaway Good to know. I subscribed to Artlist anyway after you clarified the point I was unsure of in your video; that if I do chose to unsubscribe after a year my backlog of video content won't be reclaimed. I love that one license covers every project on every platform forever. Many thanks.
True!
Epidemic just has the most amount of actually good music! Im sure artlist has a wide selection, but personally i spend wayy way longer trying to find a song thats actually really good! So im stuck using the epidemic sound commercial license for now..
What happens to videos with music/SFX after your subscription ends?
NVM 5:00 :)
Thanks for the video
I got artlist ad on this video
I actually love that. Lol
Do I have to pay for each music I download,even after I subscribed for 1 year?
you pay once per year, the same annual fee. If you don’t need any more new music than you’ve already downloaded then you can cancel and keep using what you’ve already downloaded.
@@TommyCallaway thank you so much for your reply 😊
Do you have any frustrating stories about music used in your own videos? Share in the comments!
can i used artlist for my youtube monitization?
Yes
@@TommyCallaway thank you so mouch..
Just signed up for the $299 package and made sure to use your code, I helped you out (I think) and also got two free months. It's just a Win Win.
Thank you :) you’re awesome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Epidemic sound copy-write claimed two social media videos we did for a fundraiser for foster children. Both were on our linked Facebook account, but since one was shared after I left Epidemic, they claimed it, and the other I made a very minor text edit and re-uploaded after leaving Epidemic. If you ever cancel Epidemic expect to be claimed on all of their music even if you're "following their guidelines". The music is (pretty much) only yours until you leave. #EpidemicFail
So I make a video and let someone use my video on youtube, I give them permission for my video to use it, that person who uses my video has the right to music ?
that's exactly why I chose artlist! great service! Also love the SFX section :-)
now I want to cancel my epidemic sound subscription asap. but I cant afford art grid annually.
well they have one now and they have good FX ;)
Hello Tommy Thanks for the Video I have come back to artlist after your video I even post a video on my UA-cam Channel about Your Video and what happend. Thanks for help.
Man. I’m sorry you had such a bad experience. I’ve been a fan of Artlist for a long time now. I have the Film Riot crew to thank for that. Of course you want to be able to share your work or parts of your work without having to relicense it for each clip. I’m thankful a new way forward exists.
shit just baught a yearly epidemic sound licence lol
Great content and I respect your opinion. However, i'd like to hear what the competition also says so i can get a very fair opinion.
I wasn’t paid to make this video.. I used both services, and made this video as a result.
Mannnn the same thing has happened to me so many times.
Sucks, right??
@@TommyCallaway God knows it does, i'll be signing up for it and using your code this week.
ARTLIST YEAAAAAHHHH
This company should have been named Plague Sound. They are setting a new standard in ripping artists off. There has been cases when epidemic offered $20 for a song/track, not some fart SFX but a full music track, and they want a quality, well produced one. And they want to own ALL THE RIGHTS to it ... FOREVER. This is insane you'd say but believe it or not, there are people who agree to those terms. Plus to sign up with them as an artist you can't be a member of a performer's rights organization (PRO) such as EMI or ASCAP or PRS, SOCAN or whatever.
sold me artlist, thanks man Sorry to hear what to you, thanks for making this video !!!!!
No prob man, you're gonna love it. I still do!
Great video. This is exactly what I wanted to know since I was waffling between Epidemic Sound and Artllist. Artlist is the clear winner here.
Well it is written in their policies. That is why i am using music wine ...is not the best probably but you find good music.
artlist didn't accept my songs it said they dont need them at this moment.
It's meant for you and you only
Somebody hacked into Jewelbeats defunct site and is sending out nefarious emails demanding payment or else threatening realeasing some supposed compromising information on subscribers. Jewebeat went out of business in 2014 or so, It was laughable to get that letter saying they had video footage from my web camera, which hasn't been plugged in or if it was then it was facing the wall. Bunch of boneheaded miscreants.
Artlist looks intriguing, thanks for the referral and recommendations.
musicbed has the best music IMO...I just wish they had sound FX
Musicbed license is more restrictive and significantly more expensive ($89 a month) if you intend on doing anything like what I mentioned in the first minute of this video. Most platforms are extremely reasonable for month-to-month self UA-camr users, musicbed and epidemic sound included.. unless you add the costs up over more than a year or two, then artlist always comes out cheaper. Only gotta buy one year :)
