Are you a small Youtube creator? RUN!!! If you are a small YouTube creator who finances their channel through Patreon, the occasional sponsored video or affiliate links... *RUN!* After 20 hours of editing a video with a sponsored segment that was due on a certain day and uploading it to the YouTube studio, the video gets flagged with two copyright claims for MusicBed songs. When I go to clear them (which I shouldn't have to do to begin with), I am told that "The claim is not showing up on our end" (weird...) but also that "Because this channel's description has multiple links out to products/courses for purchase, an upgrade to a Business-level Subscription is needed to keep this video up and continue posting." As a reminder, the "individual plan" is advertised as "Perfect for freelance filmmakers, wedding filmmakers, YouTube creators, and podcasters." and covers "SOCIAL FOLLOWING Up to 250K subscribers, DISTRIBUTION : Web/Social, Podcast and Includes Monetization" But the best part comes when MusicBed describes what "links out to products/courses for purchase" are problematic. The two links that MusicBed wants me to remove are links to the channel's website and the channel Patreon's page. And what does MusicBed think I should be paying to have those links up in the description of my videos? 100$/month, ie 3x the cost of the individual plan supposed to be "Perfect for freelance filmmakers, wedding filmmakers, YouTube creators, and podcasters". MusicBed, you should really be clearer about who can buy your products and which one. Because if you are going to sell a service to a Youtube creator, you better believe that a lot of them will have a Patreon account and a website and probably even have the audacity to place those links in the description of their video... Now, as a result of MusicBed's shenanigans, my video containing a sponsored segment is late to publish, which is resulting in a penalty on the fee I receive. What a way to support creators MusicBed!!!

I'm a 36 year old filmmaker and music… I'm a 36 year old filmmaker and music has been a part of life since I was five. It is essential that my stories have quality music that properly drives them and moves an audience. I can 100% say that MusicBed was a complete game changer for my productions and continues to be today. I have also used a lot of other companies for music, and MusicBed proved to have the track selections I was looking for many times over. The artists they find and work with are incredibly talented and at times I literally just sit and listen to music on MusicBed to spark ideas and gain inspiration for my next story. I have been using them for music for over four years now and highly recommend them!

They are the best My experience with Musicbed has been nothing short of amazing. They have an incredible library of music that I can't find anywhere else. On top of that, they truly care about filmmakers and creators. They put us first and it truly shows.

Been using Musicbed for several years… Been using Musicbed for several years now and they have undoubtedly help my business in a large way. They have some of the best music in the industry for commercials, social media, and even YouTube. I appreciate that their business model also considers the success of the music artists who create songs for the platform and not just the editors/companies. Would recommend this platform to anyone looking to license high quality music for any project.

I love the music on Musicbed I love the music on Musicbed's platform. Everything sounds professional and not like stock music. I also appreciate that I simply include an ID in my video's description and it automatically handles the license clearance with Youtube. Such an awesome licensing company!
