Today I'm reviewing Epidemic Sound with total honesty. I've used Epidemic sound religiously over the past 3 years to soundtrack my youtube videos and client productions with royalty free music. A lot has changed since I started, so now I want to answer the question, "is Epidemic sound worth it in 2024?" with my ultimate review for creators.
From their easy to understand user interface to the incredibly simple copyright clearing system, Epidemic Sound puts up good competition for other royalty free music services like Artlist, Soundstripe, and Musicbed.

Thank you for creating this video! One question though. What is your take on Softorino YouTube converter vs Epidemic sound regarding copyright?
-
Really appreciate you for doing this video, clears 😊a lot of questions I have.
-
Thank you for all the information
-
I have a question , let's assume I sub to epidemic , I post a video , will I get a claim from YT during checks and it gets whitelisted later or epidemic just makes sure I do not get any copyright claim at all. and if the first proccess happens , do I lose my money from my video since it's demonetized untill it gets cleared up

Thanks for the awesome video. I will try Epidemic Sound for 2024. I have a question… I want to make personal videos for myself, but once in a while, I get asked to help make client videos. What do I need to do if I use a music for a client one time out of the year?
-
I use it now for about a week and i'm very happy with Epidemic sound! I did use Upbeat but I always felt limited. Of course I had to get used to the other interface. The Mobile App is a big plus point. I can easily prepare myself on the train for the music for the next video.
-
Agree w you. I love the suggested music and yes the sound effects need a boost. Love your content...appreciated😊
-
What do they mean when they say You can’t create sound bed with the music?
-
Do i have to share my YouTube revenue with epidemic sounds when i purchased their personal subscription?
-
Thanks @Josephmartin if ive got it right, as long as you canx a sub correctly, your downloads stay licensed for life? And ES do not take a cut from any channel monetization, if you are monetised?
-
just bought it thanks for the detailed video.
-
I wonder what would happen if I forget to make a payment. Can I still use that song I downloaded a year ago when I made a payment? Thank you for all that info.
-

-
