hey guys just have a quick question and wondering if anyone could shed some light on the subject for me.

i want to put some music in the background of some of my commentaries and I'm wondering how to go about it...ive searched for "uncopywrited/uncopywritten" music on youtube and come up with some tracks, but I've also seems sights where you pay for royalty free tracks...so how do you guys go about this?

are the royalty free purchases the way to go or do the tracks that people from YT allow you to use a viable option swell?

Appreciated,
Alchemist

Don't worry about it as long as it's instrumental background music. The concern YouTube has with copyrighted music is that people will:

1. Make money off the video via partnership.
2. Viewers will download the video and extract the audio (I've done it).

As long as your voice is over the music, the music itself will basically be inaudible. I wouldn't sweat putting copyrighted instrumentals in your videos. (Please tell me these are instrumentals you want to put in. Music with lyrics would distract too much from your own voice.)

thanks for the advice, and yes they're instrumentals

you need to do a search for royalty free music. That's the big thing. Or, public domain music. Either one will do you just fine.
