Copyright free music for YouTube videos

Copyright free music for YouTube videos, on this site, means an Arctaholic track used inside a video you made. The song still has a copyright owner. The permission is the license, and that permission includes monetized uploads.

Put a track in the video

1. Pick a song on the songs page and open it on YouTube.
2. Use that recording in your edit, under footage you shot or a story you are telling. Leave the song audible.
3. Publish. A separate download file appears on the song page when one is posted. Do not re-upload the song by itself.

This catalog is vocal motivational rap. It works when the song is part of the video: a workout montage, a cold open, a hype stretch. It is a weak bed under a long voiceover. For that split, read vocal or instrumental.

Credit and claims

Credit is optional. The paste line is in how to credit a track. Arctaholic will not claim a video that follows the license. A claim from someone else is a different problem: send the video URL and the track name to arctaholic@gmail.com. Details: false copyright claim.

Copyright free music for YouTube videos, from timeline to description

Copyright free music for YouTube videos needs a place in the timeline, not a bed under the whole upload. Mark three regions before you mix: open, picture with no talk, and end. The track lives in those regions. Your voice lives in the rest. If you cannot find eight seconds without talking, this catalog is the wrong tool for that video and silence is the better mix.

Export once, then listen on phone speakers. Laptop speakers hide a muddy vocal. If the rap and your voice fight, cut the track. Do not “fix” it by stripping the vocal out. That is a remix, and the license does not allow it.

The description has two jobs. Say what the video is, in the first two lines, because that is what viewers and search see. Then, if you want a credit, paste the song title and the track link. Do not lead the description with “no copyright” and nothing else. The video’s subject is why a person clicks. The credit is a courtesy under that.

A claim on an allowed upload is not a reason to delete the video. Read who the claimant is. YouTube explains what a claim can do to a video. Email arctaholic@gmail.com with the URL and the track name before you dispute. A dispute without a right can become a removal.

One song per video is enough. A second song is for a second chapter, not for variety in the same thirty seconds.

A useful upload routine is short. Export the timeline. Listen once on phone speakers in a normal room, not on the headphones you edited with. Confirm the track is absent under your voice and present on the open or the b-roll. Publish. Open Studio and the copyright column before you share the link in chat. If the column is empty, you are done. If it names a claimant, copy that name into the email with the video URL and the track name. Do not upload a “clean” second version until you know which audio the claim matched.

Questions

Can I monetize the video?

Yes. Monetized YouTube videos are included. You keep your ad revenue. See monetized videos.

Does “copyright free” mean the song has no owner?

No. It means Arctaholic is giving you a stated permission. Read what the phrase means.
