happy new years and welcome back to TohirT's channel Tohir is here I
hope you guys had a fantastic and fabulous celebration of New Year now we
are in 2019 the very first video of this year and as you can see we already
trying a few new things as promised and you will see more of this kind of
changes slowly trickling in throughout the rest of the year for now just a
different lighting a couple of new items on the shelf and you know new year new
me sort of thing today's topic is epidemic sound the
source of music that I'm using in my videos I will make this video part
review of the platform itself and part me shedding light into my creative
process the former will be very useful for the creators out there who are
trying to pick a music service to download the tracks for their creations
and the letter for those of you who are working on combining their business and
the creative side in a single profession entrepreneurship or other small business
venture let's just jump straight into it first and foremost epidemic sound is an
awesome name whoever created has that brand name really deserves a medal and
for those of you who did not know about this service epidemic sound sources
music and sound effects from all over the world from different artists and
provides it as a subscription service or on a one-off license base to the
creators like myself as you may have heard YouTube's licensing can be a
little bit tricky it is important for you as a creator or a small business
owner to pay attention to the type of music you're using in your videos
because if you do not have appropriate rights if you didn't license the song
correctly you can get a a copyright claim which essentially gives the rights
to your video to someone else or you can even get a strike from YouTube to your
channel three strikes and you're out that's the policy on YouTube so both are
pretty bad and it's important for you to pay attention to those and yes you can
go out there and you can google and search for those free domain clean
copyright videos audio tracks sounds all those kind of things we can extract the
audio from and install it in your video but the problem is the time and the
varying quality and epidemic sound solves both issues of searching and
spending time searching for the music tracks and the copyrights in one single
platform because a the quality is always top-notch we're not talking about two to
three to five megabyte mp3 files we're talking
about fifty to 150 megabytes high-definition audio that you can then
dump down for your video but overall quality is always off the chain and it
sounds really nice on the appropriate sound systems and of
course it saves me a ton of time because it's a single platform it has its own
search engine I go in I search for what I need I save it for the current user I
save it for the future views but it is right there and I do not have to spend a
couple of hours of my every week to find the appropriate soundtrack and sound
effects to fit the music video or just a video that I'm currently working on the
next benefit with epidemic sound in the pros column are the stems stems are the
separate tracks within the particular song that you can split apart in use in
different creative ways
as you can imagine it does open up a lot of those opportunities for a very
different kind of thinking you no longer bound to a single song with a very set
you know order of instruments order of different sections that are coming in
and coming out you can essentially split apart and see your instruments your
melody you base in your drums and for example you really love the drum roll
but you do not necessarily feel the rest of the song so you can just isolate keep
the drums and use the drums in your video I think about those days when you
really like the song you want to use it in the background for your video or for
your project but you really don't feel like the lyrics fit and the theme or the
type of project you are working on so guess what epidemic sound offers you an
ability through those stems to remove the vocals completely they do call it a
melody though not the vocals but as long as you remove that melody track from the
song now you're left with a clean cut instruments bass on the drum roll or
whatever else that song is composed of this is amazing this opens up a lot of
creativity and it helps you add your own personal touch to every single song that
you're using any videos pricing model is the final benefit that I would like to
touch on when talking about epidemic sound I love the fact that I do not have
to bother with some sort of monthly quotas on a number of songs I can use I
do not have to go and license it song by song although it is available for those
who are not using the subscription as well as I just don't feel like I'm some
sort of limited by the way they set up their pricing model to maximize their
own revenue you can see that epidemic sound of the people who are behind it
really thought about the creative process and really try to put themselves
in the shoes of the creator and give as much of flexibility as possible within
the boundaries of them being business and needing to support their payroll in
their expenses the way it works is that you pay either a monthly or an annual
subscription in most of the cases as I said licensing option is out there but
I'm ignoring it for the benefit of this video because I just think that the
subscription is a better service overall and once you subscribe you didn't
have really any limitation you can use as many songs as you want throughout a
month a day a week a given time period and once you created a project and you
have the song embed in it it is yours you can continue using that video you
can continue monetizing that video even when you drop the subscription for
epidemic sound this is a great benefit this is very I think user friendly when
it comes to the creators and the business owners who are trying to find
the right music for their videos with the small caveatt for some the creators
out there who try to be smart and subscribe to the 30-day trial download a
bunch of songs and continue using them that's not necessarily how it works you
do need to retain the subscription for when you create those videos you cannot
just subscribe for a couple of months download the entire library and then
keep creating videos for the rest of the year you have to have a subscription
when you create the particular project a particular video when you use a
particular song from their website for you to retain the rights and ownership
of that project in perpetuity even beyond your subscription just again keep
that in mind the simplest way to think about it you have a subscription you go
to use the song and once you create a video with a song you good to use it
forever within that video alone this is for the
full transparency I've seen creators on Reddit and some other websites
complaining about them not being able to use the songs that they download it
under the free trial like just be real guys you're trying to game the system
essentially while those guys are being nice and offering you an opportunity to
evaluate their product just be considerate they need to be able to pay
their personnel as well now do not make it sound like an infomercial let's talk
about some of the concerns that I have about epidemic sound and about some of
the things that they can improve on in 2019 my first concern is the sound
effects library primarily the breadth of it
on several occasions they've been a case where I was looking for some very basic
seemingly sound and I could not find it within their library I think the example
that I've recently encountered was the alarm like you know the Industrial like
a hip-hop alarm you'll hear it and some of the songs I tried searching for it in
all I would get is either the alarm clock
like you don't know that wake up in the morning or some random dudes
shouting in the microphone some inaudible things small thing but I did
find myself going to freesound.org or similar kind of website to search for
the sound effects rather than using the epidemic sound and I would really love
to have a much richer library within epidemic sound because it would just
create perfect and absolute portfolio for me oh and by the way don't get me
started on the default autoplay function that you cannot disable it works for the
music section of epidemic sound where you have three minutes songs and
sometimes you just want to put an entire album keep it on the loop while you're
working on something and listen to the songs and mark off those that you really
like when it comes to the two second sound effects I hate it
I've actually complained to their product group I've provided the feedback
because once that autoplay starts it almost plays like a loop and you have to
chase that play button all the way through the playlist and it keeps
playing different sounds like I'm trying to focus and listen to one sound at a
time and understand whether that particular sound works for my creative
purpose and instead I have to go and chase that play button through their
auto playlist or I have to constantly press spacebar or click on the whatever
the icon to stop that whole cacophony of sounds happening right in my earphones
the second concern that I have is the music library depth you can very visibly
notice the difference between the tracks that were added say 2016 2017 and beyond
so in past versus the tracks that were added 2017-18 and onwards don't you
agree with me this is an evident variance between the quality of the
tracks that they have in the library from past and the library that they're
adding right now this might not be the 100% fair concern because it all
depends on how many quality artists do you find it can be hard to find quality
songs and quality artists out there and me being a picky audiophile I love
seeing the depth in these kind of libraries
I still think epidemic sound library is one of the best out there but it can be
better the final concern that I'll mention is
the fact that the epidemic sound is actually becoming more and more popular
I know they would hear that and will say hey where is the problem but for the
Creator it can be a problem especially if the library is not increasing because
you keep seeing more and more different creators using the same type of tracks
because those are just becoming recommended they're becoming more
popular on epidemic sound so you see let the likes of Peter McKinnon Matti
Happoja some of the other guys who are big proponents and supporters of an
epidemic sound keep using the tracks that I'm using in my videos so I'm kind
of sitting there like hey like this is my track this track fits my video why
are using in your video granted they've been a few cases where I
use those tracks first in any case this is the issue that you are gonna face as
someone who subscribes to epidemic sound but my solution for you is come back to
one of the benefits the stems and use the stems to add the variety create your
own type of tracks adjust and remove certain sounds
add certain sounds maybe even try mixing different songs or stems from different
songs into your own unique mix this is what the epidemic sounds is grated this
is something that will help you combat this cons so to speak because it will
keep going if epidemic sound continues this growth
and the popularity and I'm sure it's gonna take time for library to catch up
you're gonna see more and more cases of people using the same tracks but I think
for the better quality those inconveniences are acceptable I much
rather have a better song a better quality video for my project for your
small business project over your entrepreneurial project rather than
having to worry about using some lackluster quality in the video that's
going out to your clients so here we are that's it for my review of epidemic
sound I give it two thumbs up love the service love the quality of the tracks I
keep mentioning that and I love the variety of different songs that I've
been using in my videos it makes my life much easier on a day-to-day basis in my
busy schedule as well as for some of those you know cons and concerns that
I've mentioned they're minor enough that I think epidemic sound team will solve
them in the near future so I look forward to seeing how this platform
develops throughout the next couple of years did you use epidemic sound for
your personal or business purposes do you have other music services that
you prefer more or do you think in general the whole platform the whole
format of delivering songs and using songs and the projects should change
completely hit us up in the comments section below let's continue this
discussion and that's it from me this week if you new to this channel hi go
