To find copyright-free music for YouTube, you can explore several sources and strategies:
YouTube Audio Library
- What it is: A collection of free music and sound effects provided by YouTube.
- How to access: Go to YouTube Studio > Audio Library.
- Usage: Some tracks require attribution, but most can be used freely in your videos.
Royalty-Free Music Websites
- Examples:
- Epidemic Sound: Offers a subscription service for high-quality royalty-free music.
- Artlist.io: Provides unlimited downloads for a subscription fee.
- Free Music Archive (FMA): Free tracks under various licenses (check for attribution requirements).
- Incompetech: Free music by Kevin MacLeod, often used for YouTube content.
- Bensound: Free for personal use, but attribution is required.
- Purple Planet: Offers free and paid tracks, often with attribution required.
Creative Commons Licensed Music
- How to find it: Search for music licensed under Creative Commons (CC). Websites like Jamendo, ccMixter, or SoundCloud offer tracks under CC licenses.
- Check License: Ensure you’re allowed to use the music for commercial purposes if necessary, and give proper attribution if required.
Paid Licensing Services
- Why consider this: Paid services such as AudioJungle, PremiumBeat, or Musicbed provide higher-quality music and more extensive rights, especially for monetized content.
- Benefit: You get clear legal rights to use the music without worrying about future claims.
Public Domain Music
- What it is: Music that is no longer under copyright protection. You can find such tracks on websites like Musopen or Public Domain 4U.
- Usage: You can use these tracks freely without attribution.
Create Your Own Music
- Why: This is a unique way to ensure no copyright issues. Tools like GarageBand, FL Studio, or Audacity can help you compose simple tracks.
Always double-check the terms of use for any music source to avoid copyright strikes, especially if you’re monetizing your YouTube videos.
