1 channel per platform* When you subscribe, you get your entire channel whitelisted by accesing and completing this form so you can use any track from the library during the subscription on 1 channel per platform. If you want to cancel your subscription, all existing content (published during your subscription) will stay the way it is.
With any paid license you will also get the high quality .wav version of the track + the track divided in loops.

- Purchased track licenses are valid on a per project basis only. If you wish to use the music in a separate project (without attribution), you will need to purchase an additional license.
- Subscribing grants the permission to use any track from the library on 1 channel per platform.
- Music cannot be redistributed through music distribution services (e.g. DistroKid, CDBaby), or submitted in any way to streaming services (e.g. Spotify) or online stores (e.g. iTunes).
