Epidemic Sound

Epidemic Sound is a subscription music and sound effects library built for online creators. It owns the rights to its catalog, which is why its subscriptions can cover publishing on YouTube, social platforms and podcasts under one license. You can search by mood, genre and tempo, or start from a reference track and find similar music.

It has added AI tools that help fit music to video, such as adjusting a track to the length of your edit and splitting songs into stems so you can drop the vocals under speech. Licenses differ between personal and commercial plans, and between your own channels and client work, so match the plan to the job. Connected channels can be cleared for Content ID, which is the thing to set up before you publish, not after a claim arrives.
