    Just wanted to say thank you for all of the educational film videos. I’m an environmental scientist and mixed media artist. I know nothing about video and am in the process of making my first channel. I’ve learned a lot from your content in the past week. So thank you for being so great! 🌸

    I use ( subscribe) both MB and Epidemic, but recently MB has changed it's pricing and it's licensing format/policy that has become a pain in the rear to use.
    They now require that you create a project in MB for your video to attach the music to, they increased their prices (doubled). When I asked them what will become of my previous licensed tunes in all my other previous videos, I was told "Nothing at this time". WTH nothing at this time? This could be a real issue down the road if you have to go back and inventory every piece if music you used and re license it.
    You now have to create a "Project" for each video you use MB music in and attach the music you download for that particular video into that project. If you use that song in a different video you will need to create another project for that video and re-license that song. MB has just got more complicated to use.
    This would seem to be more of a benefit to MB than the end user/subscriber. One last thing. MB never sent and email or any sort of notice about the changes and what is now required to use music from their site. Bad play MB bad play.

    I completely agree with your analysis. I was on Epidemic Sound before switching to Musicbed because Musicbed has a bigger volume of quality songs that Epidemic sound doesn't. I think one big edge that Epidemic sound has over Musicbed though is that you can download the song stems. I will go check out Soundstripe now, the UI looks clean.

    After using Artlist for like 6 months I regret it. I feel like they market themselves as high quality only, but they basically only have corny rock, TONS of house music and EDM, and then everything else is kinda meh. It makes it hard to use a lot of these tracks in a variety of content unless I’m doing a promo video with a stereotypical house track in the background. I’m a corporate Director so I’m trying to find the best music for a variety of content, without having to stoop down to using corporate music. Trying to find creative, uplifting music was a massive chore with artlist.

      @benjohnsoncreative  2 роки тому

      True, you can get free songs but I've seen it happen so many times where people license free music and then that music becomes restricted or removed and they lose the entire audio from their videos (not just the music, literally all of the audio is removed) or clients can no longer use the videos. Not really worth the risk to me

    • @benjohnsoncreative

      It’s licensed per “project” each license you generate is for that specific project, I believe it’s probably partly how the artist of the song gets commission on their end

    Have you ever had a problem with any of these being flagged copy rights on UA-cam, even though you have the licensing? I have heard someone who paid for their music and UA-cam still flagged them, by the time they were able to prove they had the rights to it and get UA-cam to allow the video to go back up, they'd last the traction it had on views.
