 "YouTube's Audio Library gives away royalty-free music for creative ventures")
Over the years, YouTube has introduced several features and tools to make creating and editing videos on the website easy for channel owners. This time the video sharing website by Google has added a feature that could possibly be one of its best moves for budding film-makers and YouTube channel creators – a free-to-use Audio Library.
While making low-budget movies and documentaries, one major problems amateur film-makers face is the inability to find music that can be used within it. There’s always the question of royalty and payment when it comes to searching for music. Royalty-free music is also not too easy to find. YouTube has therefore introduced a library of music that can be used by anyone.
You can download music from the library for any creative pursuit
Any and every YouTube creator now has free access to the YouTube Audio Library. With 150 instrumental tracks spanning over multiple genres, you can use any track for any creative purpose and not just one that is supposed to be on YouTube.
You can find a link to head on to the library on your video manager and can browse through it by mood, genre, instrument or duration and once you decide on the file you want, you can download it as a 320Kbps MP3 file.
YouTube hit the road to find real musicians to help it create the library
The best part about this project undertaken by YouTube is that the company actually went about searching for musicians to help it create most of these tracks, so that it could give these away for free. YouTube is now constantly looking for more musicians to help it grow this library while giving away music regularly. If you’re a budding film-maker, you won’t need to spend hours scouring through multiple websites with the hopes of finding royalty-free music, you can simply log on to YouTube to get it. While the library may not be too large right now, it looks like a project YouTube will not abandon anytime soon.
