I Tried Epidemic Sound in 2023 | REVIEW

Epidemic Sound is an incredibly popular royalty free music service for youtubers and video creators. By paying a monthly subscription cost, editors and filmmakers gain access to Epidemic Sound's library of over 35,000 songs and 90,000 sound effects. While the music service is common for seekers of background music to score their videos, what has epidemic sound done to improve recently, and is the website still one of the best royalty free music sites in 2023?

Hi, thanks for your great video! I currently have a subscription to Epidemic sound, but I’m having problems with my playlist ever since the update. I’m no longer able to place my tracks in a particular order for a playlist. I have a fitness channel and have to play the songs while I’m filming in order. There used to be a 3 line horizontal bar where I could move the tracks, but now it’s gone. Any thoughts?

I still prefer artlist after all. I have yet to buy in to any of these services but the artlist agreement is much more powerful. thanks for the update :)

I went with Artlist because of your previous review. In your review, you mentioned that Artlist has the most generous licensing agreement because downloaded music can be used even after you're not subscribed. Phenomenal! I do like that Epidemic Sound offers stems for all their songs, allowing more creative flexibility. That said, I'm sticking with Artlist because of their outstanding licensing. I appreciate your reviews.

Extremely informative! Thanks a ton!
I'm also happy that the videos I upload while in subscription are cleared forever, That was my main worry.

[gunnsteinnjonsson]

This helped a lot. You answered all the questions l had, thanks 😊

[diversediscoveries]

Does anyone know how to import the sounds into your Tiktok? I have been looking for the steps and can’t find them anywhere. I have the Epidemic subscription by the way.

Hi. Thankx so much for this very informative video. Just to clarify : using your link to get a free trial with epidemic sounds, I can use the music for any uploaded video during that month !? But I can not use any downloaded music after the test phase, in case I unsubscribe?

[MrHCars]

Sold it to me & will use your link Joseph! Thanks and a brilliant video!

[KRfilms]

Thanks for your excellent videos. I read that Personal accounts are limited to platforms listed with Epidemic like YouTube, Facebook, etc. With other less famous websites and platforms you have to upgrade. Is this true? And what is the protocol if any for posting a credit to the composer/musician at the end of a film. Even if it's not required, is it recommended or a personal choice. Thank you again.

hi, thanks for this video, I'm still trying to learn what to use. This video is really helpful I just wanna ask if I will get copyrighted for a music that I will use for tech videos with brandings on it using the personal account subscription from epidemic?

[rafaelchavez]

Thank you for the video and the link man!

[TheKaSmiKa]

Thank you so much! You helped me finally understand how it works. So much unnecessary information in most of the videos I've watched.

[BCJ]

Great video! Thank you for your review.

[jonnytacooutdoors]

So when we use a song do we need to put the link in our video description? Just subscribed

[azizal]

What about using this music for the Snapchat platform. Can I link the Snapchat channel account to the site ?

[TheAbyssalEnderling]

I've been considering this for a bit. Seems totally worth it. Do I have to do the 30 day trial or can I get the subscription without doing the trial?

[staceymia]

Hey! I’ve just started epidemic sounds to post shorts and reels. I’m new to all of this. Just to clarify it’s safe for both Instagram and YouTube? I won’t get sent a copy write claim? I get so paranoid 🙃

[KatieKulich]

Hey if at all possible, could you make a video on the actual process of downloading a part of a soundtrack to use for an imovie for YouTube videos/shorts? Thank you.

[SlumdoggVII]

So they also have instrumentals or beats on Epidemic sound i have been trying to reach out to them and see if im allowed to actually release the songs weve made with these instrumentals. I didnt even see licensing options

[jmureviews]

if i download any music, will i be free to use it for different videos or for any client projects or there r copyrights and i can use only once ?
