Why audiam no longer works for electronic music on youtube
Created by Jeff Besos in 2013 Audiam gives music creators the ability to collect music royalties through
YouTube anytime their music is used in a video. Ipersonally have been using them since launch but recently i
discovered something that makes the service virtually useless for me and possibly all electronic music
creators,see i am a rapper and hip hop producer and audiam’s terms of service now states no music with
beats,loops,sounds from sound packs,drum kits or any daw that is available to the public, any licensed royalty
free sounds etc can be added to their service for royalty collection.This leaves all the modern day online
producers out in the cold,while i understand why they did this having received a couple of YouTube copyright
claims from other producers because we both used a sound from the same sound pack and considering there
are now millions of online producers the claim disputes must be through the roof but is there no way to take the
entire composition ,melody, sequence into consideration and not just one sound? Unless you compose every
single part of your music yourself your shit out of luck with protecting your releases on YouTube from would
be beat pirates.
Artist who lease or purchase or even use free downloads your finished songs will suffer the
same fate if the producer used any sounds or samples that another producer may be using.
Don't get me wrong audiam is an awesome service and the issues is not with them its with how
you tube identifies copyrighted music but until they get it right the great service that audiam provides
is going to be hindered.
Producers be careful when selecting your sounds and artist be careful when selecting your beats your not as protected as you thought.

So what you got free beats
So you got yourself some free beats from soundcloud now what? do you have the ability to record a song? can you get
that song mixed and mastered? Do you have a marketing plan or a budget to execute one? If not then
you just wasted your time Too many artist are stuck in a lack of mentality where they feel since they
don't have the money to pay for services That they should either get them for free or avoid having
them all together this is the way if thinking that will Kill your career before you even start it takes
money to make money is such a prevelant truth in the music industry According to Wendy Day it cost
a minimum of $30,000 per month for six to twelve months to build a successful music career So if
you are not willing to invest the couple of hundred dollars it takes just to create a quality recording
you most Definitely wont spend what it cost to build your business.The shift you need to make in
your thinking is how can you get The money to pay for these services and start educating yourself on
how to effectively monetize your music then you wont Be so reluctant to spend the money because
you now know how to get it back in multiples for instance if you knew how to turn A hundred dollar
Facebook ad into $7000 in your pocket from streaming in 30 days would you still be worried about
the $30 for a beat or the $100 to run the ad? Probably not So focus on learning the business your in
and devoloping a good marketing Plan so that all the costs associated with making your passion a
sustainable business is a drop in the bucket compared To your profits.
