This is one’s tricky because, on the one hand, most of them are safe… but not every developer or publishers allows the use of their music in content creation. Game SoundtracksĪnd then there are video game soundtracks. You can use anything in this playlist but not everything by Riot Records/Riot Games. Just check their homepage for more insights!) – and in here, you can find lots of great tracks from original creations like the “Sessions” albums, as well as music from their games. It can be used in streams or content creation as long as it follows their rules (mostly stuff like “don’t sell our music” and whatnot. This is a collection of music that is 100% owned by Riot Games. Riot Games’ Creator-Safe PlaylistĪnother great place to go to is the Riot Games Creator-Safe Playlist. Personally, I don’t use them, mostly because they’re not my cup of tea… well, some of them are great but I don’t like all of it. There is also Harris Heller’s Stream Beats playlist – stuff they made themselves that is safe to use on Twitch as they aren’t gonna claim it if you’re using it. Edward Ray (<< Interview) made some music for my stream (<< post on the commission), for instance, that I use from time to time – and it was a great process and really nice in terms of results! Supporting creators is amazing and if you have the funds, I’d recommend doing so. There are a lot of musicians out there that you can commission music from, although this can get quite pricey. Asking for permission is important.Īt the same time, though, not everyone likes to go around asking for permission and it would suck if people’s inboxes got flooded with permission requests, so I wanted to link to a few playlists that I know are safe to use and other stuff. Another few allowed me to use their music – but that doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone can. A few of them declined or didn’t respond, in which case I avoid the music, period. Instead, I used to message artists and labels and asked them for permission to use their music on my stream. There are playlists out there on YouTube that a lot of people make use of and they’re often not safe to use because of the fact that they’re just playlists made by people who don’t care about whether or not you receive a strike. You don’t want your VODs or Clips to get muted… and Twitch understandably mutes stuff as a safety measure but it doesn’t save you from DMCA Strikes, necessarily, which is why I wanted to talk about how I handle the matter.įrankly, there are a few issues with “DMCA free” or “Copyright free” music. So, when streaming on Twitch, a lot of people worry about the music that plays in the background and the whole DMCA thing and stuff… and honestly, it’s understandable.
