There is an AI tool that gives you access to unlimited royalty-free music that you can easily
0:06
modify to generate unique songs that match your content perfectly. All in just a matter of minutes
0:13
And guess what? You don't even need any fancy music composition skills. This tool is called
0:20
Soundrow and I'll show you how to use it in three simple steps. Also, if you are a content creator
0:26
you probably use Canva already. So at the end of the video, I'll show you a new app that allows
0:33
you to use Soundrow inside Canva. In this video, I'll share what is Soundrow, how does it work in
0:41
three simple steps, how to use it in Canva, and I'll share some burning questions about licenses
0:48
I'm leaving the timestamps in here in case you want to jump directly to any of these sections
0:57
What is Soundrow? Soundrow is an AI music generator for creators. It is a royalty-free music AI
1:06
generated for you. You can also create unlimited music, customize the songs, and you won't have
1:14
anything to worry about because you won't have any copyright strikes. Soundrow has two different
1:21
plans, one that is completely free to use and a paid plan. You can pay this plan annually and
1:28
save two months or you can pay monthly and try it out, see if this platform is for you or not
1:35
With a free plan, you can generate unlimited songs and then you can bookmark these songs
1:42
Then with a paid plan, you will have everything in the free plan, so these two actions, let's say
1:49
and then you will be able to use the songs that you have generated with this tool for personal
1:55
and commercial use. You will be able to download up to 50 songs per day. You can use these songs
2:03
on YouTube, social media, corporate videos, web ads, TV, radio commercials, podcasts, games, and apps
2:11
I will talk about licenses a little bit more at the end of the video, so stay watching
2:17
Now, before showing you how this tool works, I want to clarify that Soundrow is not a regular
2:24
stock audio site where you spend hours browsing and searching for songs to then realize that it
2:31
doesn't match your video and you need to start a new search again. It doesn't work like ChatGPT
2:38
either. It's not a prompt-based software that you can create songs by feeding a text prompt to a
2:44
chatbot, so please do not use Soundrow support chat for this purpose. Lastly, you cannot use
2:51
Soundrow to mimic existing singers or to upload your own music or others' music as basis for
3:00
composition. So, how does Soundrow work? I'm going to show you how it works in three simple steps
3:06
Step 1. Create a song Type this URL on your browser to land on this page. Then, we're going to click on this button
3:17
that says create music. In this page, you are going to choose some parameters for the AI to
3:24
create a list of songs. So, you can choose the length of your song. I'm gonna go for 30 seconds
3:32
You can select the tempo, either slow, normal or fast, or you can leave them all selected
3:39
And then, you can select the mood, the genre or theme. I'm gonna go for the theme tutorials. I'm
3:47
gonna click on this thumbnail and then I'm gonna wait for the AI to generate a list of songs. We
3:54
have this list and we can listen to all of these options by clicking on the thumbnail of each song
4:01
You will see a play icon. I'm gonna hear what else do we have in here
4:19
I do like these songs that the AI generated for me. I like that it has a mix of different styles
4:27
But, if you don't like this selection of songs, you can change the labels that you see on top
4:34
and regenerate the list. So, you have genre, you can also change the mood, change the theme
4:40
the length, the tempo and the instruments from here. And once you find a song that you like
4:47
you can further customize it if you want. So, let me hear the song number one that we have here
4:58
So, I really like how the guitar sounds on this song but I'm not a fan of the drums in this
5:14
specific track. So, I will customize this song by removing the drums. So, I want you to pay
5:20
attention to these tools that appear below our audio wave. I'm gonna now click on this icon
5:29
called Pro Mode. I'm gonna click and pay attention to the tools on the left hand side. We have now
5:35
access to Pro Tools and from here we can edit the length, the tempo, the structure of the song. We
5:43
can also modify the instruments and so on. And in here, I want to be transparent with you because
5:51
I don't have any musical background. I don't know anything about music but I'm sure I will be able
5:59
to customize the song the way that I want it. So, as I already said, I'm not a fan of the drums and
6:05
I can see in here that there is a section called drums and I see a gray area, a light blue and a
6:13
dark blue area and so on. So, I'm gonna click on these rectangles because I believe the first section
6:21
of the song doesn't have drums and then we start listening to the drums along the song. So, let me
6:27
play the song in here. Yeah, okay. So, we don't have drums in the first section of the song. Now, let me hear
6:41
the second and the third section. Indeed, we start hearing the drums in the second section and then
6:51
on the third section, the drums, you can hear them even stronger
6:59
Okay, so I'm gonna click on this section one time. You see that I believe the drums are even louder
7:07
on the second section. But then, if I click one more time, it will be deactivated. If you see it
7:16
in gray, it means there are no more drums in this section
7:27
I'm gonna deactivate the drums on the other sections of the song. So, I'm gonna click
7:33
until I see these rectangles in gray. I think this song sounds closer to what I had in mind
7:40
but I do suggest that you play around with the options or the tools, the pro tools that you have
7:48
available in here to see how each tool affects the sounds or the instruments that you hear on your
7:57
song. So, in here, there is a sound or an instrument that I hear at the beginning of section number two
8:05
of the song and I wasn't sure how to remove it but then I saw that the fills, we also have some
8:11
deactivated areas or triangles and some active triangles. So, pay attention to the beginning
8:19
of the second section of the song. I can hear some cymbals and I want to remove them. So
8:28
I'm gonna play around with the fills. I can see this triangle right here, it's white, not like
8:34
the gray triangle that we see on the first section of the song. So, I'm gonna click until I see it
8:40
gray and then play again the second section to see if I hear the same instrument at the beginning
8:50
Okay, so I was able to remove it and I'm gonna remove it
8:54
on the other sections of the song. So, let me play this song again
9:05
We also have a fill at the end of this section. So, I'm gonna remove everything. I want a pretty
9:18
simple and slow song. So, I removed all the drums and all the fills. You can also play around with
9:25
the length of your song. So, if you click plus, pay attention to the length. I'm gonna click on plus
9:32
Now, my song is about 40 seconds and if I click on the minus, pay attention to the length, I'm
9:38
shortening the length of my song. So, yeah, just play around with these other options that you have
9:44
available in here and see how this affects your song. Now, up to this point, we have been using
9:52
Soundraw for free. We haven't even created an account yet, but if you were able to generate a
9:59
song that you really liked and you want to save it, you are going to click on this heart and then
10:05
Soundraw is going to ask you to create an account if you don't have an account yet. This window will
10:13
appear after you click on the heart. This window says save your changes, create an account and keep
10:19
this song for later. Enter your email address, create a password, click on this box, then make
10:26
sure that you are telling the platform that you are not a robot and then click on sign up. If you
10:32
already have an account, enter your email, your password, click on these two boxes and click login
10:38
I actually already had a Soundraw account and when I entered my email and password, hit login
10:45
Soundraw gave me another pop-up window, so I had to enter again my email and password and hit login
10:53
Now I am on this list page and if you want to find the song that you just created and saved
11:01
you're going to click on the profile icon that you see on the top right corner and then click
11:07
favorites. This is the page where you will find all your favorite songs. If you want to keep
11:13
creating songs, you can go back to create music. From here, you can create a new list of songs
11:19
by choosing the same parameters that we played around with before. So you're going to choose the
11:25
genre, I'm gonna go for lo-fi hip-hop, then if you want you can choose the mood. You will see
11:32
the labels selected down below in here. I'm gonna go for the mood, hopeful, the length 10 seconds
11:40
you can choose the tempo if you want, you can choose the instruments or you can leave it like
11:45
this, play around with the new songs and then save them to keep them for later. I'm gonna go back
11:51
again to my favorites page. Up to this point, we have been using Soundraw with a free plan. We were
11:59
able to generate songs, customize them and save them into our account. But if we want to download
12:08
a song, we need a paid plan. So when you click on the download button of any of the tracks, you will
12:15
see this pop-up window if you are using a free plan. From here, you can select your plan either
12:22
annual or monthly and then your payment method. You can use PayPal or a credit card. After you
12:29
have upgraded your account, you will be able to download your tracks without any issue. Remember
12:36
that you can download up to 50 songs per day. This is important because I believe 50 songs per day
12:44
is already a lot. I have upgraded my account to be able to create this tutorial and to show you how
12:51
it works. So I'm already logged in into this paid plan account and I'm gonna click on download music
13:00
You will see that it says downloading. You will see the percentage and we will have the file in a
13:07
couple of seconds. And that's it! I already have my song file on my computer and I'll be able to use it
13:15
for my content. If you are a content creator, you most probably use Canva and you can have access to
13:31
some raw from Canva. So let me show you how to do it in two different ways
13:37
The first one is that you already are inside the Canva editor. You already have a little video
13:44
project there and you want to use one of the Soundraw songs that you created. So we're gonna
13:51
go to apps and from here we are going to search for Soundraw. Hit enter. You will see the Soundraw
14:01
in here which is a new app in Canva. Click on the app. We're gonna click open. Scroll down until you
14:09
see this purple button that says connect with Soundraw. Click on the button. Click connect
14:16
Enter the email and password associated to your Soundraw account. Now you can create your own
14:22
songs with Soundraw inside Canva. You can choose your parameters from here. So you will have access
14:29
to all of these tags and then click generate to create a new list of songs. You can access your
14:37
list of favorites by clicking here and if you want to use one of these songs, simply click on use
14:44
After a couple of seconds you will see your track on your video project. Let me play
14:50
That is one way to access Soundraw from Canva. Let me show you the other way. From the home page
14:57
you can access the apps section using the panel on the left. So we are going to click on apps
15:04
and then we're going to search for Soundraw using this search bar
15:11
Here we have the app. We're gonna click here. Now you have two options. You can
15:17
use in existing design or use in new design. Soundraw is pretty cool and it's so easy to use but I'm sure you have a lot of questions about
15:33
licenses. Like for example, what is royalty-free music? How can I use these songs? Can I monetize
15:40
it? Can I still use these songs after my subscription expires? What is the price of
15:46
subscription? What happens if I upload a video with a Soundraw track to YouTube? Well, I have
15:53
the answer to all of these questions and I found them on Soundraw's website. When you go to the
15:59
home page you will see license on top of the screen. You would like to click there. On this
16:05
page you will see the answer to what usage does the license allow. You will see that you actually
16:13
own your songs while you respect this license agreement. If you are creating videos you can use
16:19
Soundraw songs as background music of your videos. You can use them on YouTube, social media, TV
16:28
movies, web ads, corporate videos, live broadcasting, YouTube and on your vlogs. It is forbidden to use
16:37
this music on videos like the low five girl type of videos. I'm gonna leave an example in here
16:44
You will have music on top of a simple animation. You cannot use this music on most meditation
16:52
videos and static videos. Those with only one image. Let's see some allowed and forbidden usages
17:00
for audio creations. You can use Soundraw's songs as background music of your audio creations like
17:07
radio broadcasting, podcast and guided meditations. It is forbidden to distribute the music as
17:14
downloaded on audio streaming platforms, sell the music as downloaded on stock audio platforms and
17:22
it is forbidden to use the music as downloaded on a podcast where the music is the main purpose
17:29
For example, a podcast where there is no a real talk but just the Soundraw music. That will be
17:35
forbidden. You also have some usages that are allowed with conditions. You can distribute the
17:42
music on audio streaming platforms like Spotify, you can resell the music on stock audio platforms
17:50
and you can also sell the music as an NFT. This will be allowed if you follow these conditions
17:58
So let me click on this link. Here we're going a little bit deeper on what this license allows
18:04
You can use these songs for commercial and non-commercial purposes in the following two
18:12
cases. If music is not the main purpose of the work. Example, you can use it as background music
18:21
of an app, a game, a video, a guided meditation, etc. You can use it if the music is the main purpose
18:29
of the work and you modify the music. Example, you can add your vocals to the music and distribute it
18:37
on Spotify. And I believe we already mentioned this but I would like to read it again because
18:43
you cannot use the music in the following cases. If music is the main purpose of the work and you
18:50
don't modify the music. Example, you distribute the music as downloaded on Spotify. Coming back to
18:58
the license page, let me go down because we already talked about video creations, audio creations, but
19:05
what about games and others? You are allowed to use soundrose songs as background music of your
19:12
creations like games, apps, store BGM and events. It is though forbidden to sell or transfer songs
19:21
as downloaded to another person. For example, a client. Now let's answer another burning question
19:29
like what is royalty-free music? Let's go to the FAQ section on soundrose website and then select
19:37
license. Here we have the answer to this question. What is royalty-free music? Let's click here
19:44
Royalty-free means you have the right to use copyrighted material or intellectual property
19:51
without the need to pay royalties for each use. What I understand from this and I'm not a lawyer
19:58
is that when you subscribe to one of their plans you get a license to use these songs without
20:06
having to pay anything extra like for example paying for royalties. Now what happens if you are
20:14
subscribed to a soundrose plan and you download a song, you use it on your content but then your
20:22
subscription expires? The answer is here so let me click on this link. Does my licensing rights end
20:29
if my subscription expires? It says any song you downloaded while you had an active subscription
20:37
can be used in your content in perpetuity. Once you download a song or a sound with a subscription
20:46
you are licensed to use it in your content forever as long as you keep abiding by the licensing
20:53
shown here. And you can have access to this article or this page by clicking on license
21:00
on the top of the screen. Now what happens if I upload a video on youtube using soundrose music
21:08
I also found the answer here so let's click on this link. What is youtube content id and how does
21:15
it relate to soundrose? When you upload a video to youtube you might see an option to register
21:22
the content id of the music in the video. YouTube will then consider that the copyright of this
21:29
music belongs to you and prevent other users from using the same or similar music. You should only
21:37
register the youtube content id of music whose copyright belongs to you. Soundrose owns the
21:43
copyright of all the music generated that is generated by our AI so you are not allowed to
21:51
register your youtube content id if you intend to use our tracks. Note that you can still monetize
21:58
your videos without any problem and even without registering the content id and we will never ask
22:05
you to share revenues with us or bother you with any copyright issues. We will keep the copyright
22:12
of the music with the only goal of protecting you from malicious users who could try to sue you or
22:20
claim revenue from your videos. I'm really glad that soundrose took the time to answer these difficult
22:27
license questions in a simple language and with examples that are very easy to understand
22:35
If you want to learn how to create content faster with the help of chat gpt and canva you need to
