To anyone watching this video; Musicbed is NOT a go-to for TH-camrs. With the creator subscription, they won't allow you to create content that will function as a reel, or by any means help you get clients. I have been using Musicbed for everything on this channel since last fall, and now I have to redo my videos in order for me to be able to use them for this purpose. I'll make a video on this soon, but for now; stay away from Musicbed if you are a creator.

Thanks for making this video dude, it was super helpful!!

[@torbs_media]

Just switched to MusicBed. The quality is next level.

[@kristianvaarvik]

I think so too!

[@dani_da_vision]

is there an opt-out at anytime option ? also where's the button of the cancellation is located? you wouldnt believe how this is so important . I got burned by one of the music subscribtions providers. they made it impossible to opt out and I had to cancel my credit card and call the bank.

[@michaelpianoorgan]

So when I pay for artlist one time for a month and then download all my music, quit the subscription and upload my youtube videos later: Does that work? Because with Epidemic Sound you have to be subscribed when uploading your video for the copyright to work.

[@pollutingpenguin2146]

This was a great review! Most reviews I have seen has been for client work, and as a casual creator for personal projects, those reviews just weren't relevant to me!

[@bydianadi]

That was sooooo helpful! Appreciate it!

Hi I am youtuber . I subscribed for a free trail with epidemic sound , one month free, But the track that i used for the youtube video has got a copy right issue and while I go to he account page it shows that my channel is not eligible. Please help me to sort out the problem.

[@kristianvaarvik]

Hi!
Have you tried contacting them about it? I would make sure my channel was connected to my Epidemic Sound account. You can also try clearing it, if possible.

I am so glad to find your movie. I’d made a contract with epidemic on 50% discount one year ago. Pay 54 US. Now they want to charge me 144$!!! For just one channel on TH-cam. I’ll follow your recommendations and sign in Artlist. Thank you from Phuket Thailand 🇹🇭🙏🏝️

[@urperfectdate]

hai i'm new here, can i ask what your opinion about thematic?

[@kristianvaarvik]

Haven’t tried it, so couldn’t tell you. Maybe I should!

[@part_time_filmmakers]

Can you use Musicbed for personal TH-cam videos without paying? I don’t understand the difference in price between Musicbed and all the other platforms.. They have better musics but they charge 20 times more

[@mex5341]

for personal use , ofc , you can , any music from internet but no monetisation

[@kristianvaarvik]

You still have to pay, but the price is acceptable for personal use/your own channels. My subscription covers my platforms as long as they have less than 250k followers. If using Musicbed for client work, it’s a different story. Then you will need big budgets.

[@joaocorreiamedia]

Musicbed is just way too expensive.

@@kristianvaarvik hei, jeg prøver å lage en ny video redigerings bedrift å lurte på om du har noen tips. Som for eksempel, om jeg burde snakke på norsk, eller gå internasjonalt å snakke på engelsk for ett større publikum.

[@kristianvaarvik]

What's your favorite music provider?

[@GinandRing]

100% team Artlist! Agree with you on Musicbed having amazing music, but disagree with the search process a little. We find Artlist suits us more than Musicbed did, maybe it's a personal thing though...
Back in 2019, we had a Musicbed subscription but maybe in 2021 we switched as we found we were finding a lot of music other creators were using... that's a big reason why Epidemic didn't suit us, felt a lot like the same music choices were already popping up everywhere..

[@kristianvaarvik]

Totally see what you mean. Epidemic ended up being a very mainstream thing. Might be the case with several platforms tbh. But I am sure all providers are continuously making improvements. I also see more creators switching to Artlist, so I am sure they are trying to up their game.
I find it important to have a neutral review as I am struggling to believe a creator who’s sponsored by the provider he, or she, is using.
