Hello everyone, it's Sandra here! I've recently embarked on my YouTube journey and I'm looking for a bit of guidance. I've been trying to create my own mix tapes to use as backdrops for my videos, but I'm a bit lost as I don't have much background in music or audio editing.
Could anyone suggest beginner-friendly products or tools that I could use to work with and edit audio? Preferably, they should be easy-to-use and require little to no prior musical knowledge. I'm open to exploring both free and paid options.
Looking forward to your suggestions and advice! Thanks a lot in advance.
Best,
Sandra
How To Use Copyrighted Music On YouTube - TunePocket
Hi, Sandra. I haven't created audio mixes on YouTube, but I do know that in many cases you actually can use copyrighted music on there in exchange for YouTube playing ads during your video. Instead of you monetizing that video, the revenue would go to the people who own the license. But you could still use it to gain followers, build your personal brand, and have fun. Here are some programs online you could try:
GarageBand: This is a fully equipped music creation studio available free on Mac and iOS devices. It's beginner-friendly and has a wide range of pre-made loops.
Ableton Live: A favorite among DJs and electronic musicians, Ableton Live is a paid software that offers a wide array of sound design capabilities for advanced users as well.
FL Studio: Popular with beginners and pros alike, FL Studio is a comprehensive digital audio workstation (DAW) offering both free and paid versions.
Audacity: This free, open-source, cross-platform software is a great tool for recording and editing sounds.
Serpent.AI: An interesting choice, Serpent.AI is not a traditional audio editing tool but a game agent framework that uses AI to help you create interesting audio mixes.
In terms of AI usage, Amper Music and Jukin Composer are two AI-powered platforms that let you create and customize original music without needing any prior musical knowledge. These are becoming increasingly popular as they can combine different existing songs to create original mixes.
