Some artists clearly state their usage terms there. Make sure you read through their about section to the right of their SoundCloud profile.

I typically buy tracks through Bandcamp, but you can use whatever site the artist has their music on. If the music is good enough, I’m fine with this. Sometimes an artist will ask me to buy each song that I use as well as give them a credit in the video description. If you look in the description section of most YouTube vlogs, you’ll usually see something like this: Most of the time, artists are totally cool with this and they allow me to use any of their tracks for free, so long as I credit them in the YouTube description. Here's our channel btw if you're curious I'm also more than happy to pay for each song and to credit you in the description of each video if you'd like :D Let me know if that's okay. Hey there, loving the beats! Really great stuff :) I was wondering if I'd be able to use them in my YouTube travel vlogs? We don't monetize just yet but we might in the future. Here's the template that we use, which has worked around 90% of the time: Permission is actually really easy to get! Once you find an artist you like, just send them a message via Soundcloud asking them if you can use their music. Yes, it absolutely does, unless you have permission from the artist. You can search for music, filter by type and favorite any track that catches your ear.īut how do you use these songs in a YouTube video? Doesn’t that violate copyright? Soundcloud is a place where musicians post their latest tracks for others to listen to. Well today I’m going to show you exactly how they do it so that you don’t have to scour the internet searching for cheap, royalty free, and copyright free YouTube music! One word: Soundcloud Ever wondered how all these famous vloggers constantly have fresh music for their vlogs?
