How To Use Royalty Free Music?

Royalty free music are those music tracks or sound effects which you can purchase or download from an online music platform and they don’t have any regular royalty payment obligation with them.

Royalty free music comes as a great option for the video creator community as it helps them save a lot of money by avoiding royalties. You just have to purchase or download them once and then they are yours for life. But it doesn’t mean that you can use them in any manner you want. In fact, every royalty free music track you download comes with certain usage conditions.

There are many platforms that offer royalty free music. Some may offer tracks for free. Others may charge you a one time payment or require a subscription fee. But each song you download from such platforms comes with a license, which lays down the ways in which you can use the tracks. It may be a condition that you credit the artist in a particular way, whenever you use their songs. It may also be a condition regarding the type of projects in which you can use the songs like for personal or commercial use, for youtube or broadcasting use and so on. A condition may also be based on usage locations like use only in a particular country or worldwide. 

So whenever you download these songs, make sure you read the usage conditions carefully and follow them, otherwise, your usage will be deemed illegal and may attract action.
