MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, it's a Scottish name. Pronounced Ma - cloud. Jeez
How do you make a stingray like nina and can you do a video where you show us how to install many stream decks
Can you do a video where you show us how to install a stream deck like with USB and everything and also can you show us how to make a stingray like ninja
Great video. Lots of new sources for music that I’d never heard about. Just for note, say it as Kevin “MA-CLOUD” (Scottish name) 😁
Have you ever used AudioJungle - audiojungle.net/ -- It appears that you can buy tracks outright and not have to maintain a subscription (anyone else use them?)
Thanks for the mention! Be well, everyone 🙏😺
Hey monster cat (=^ェ^=) love your music 🎶❤❤❤
Is all monstercst safe to use?
Thank you guys for your music!
Bruh I absolutely love your music. I would love to use it more whenever I stream.
Same thing happened to my buddy Eric.
These DMCA companies think that attacking ppl using copyright music is going to force more ppl to go buy the artist music but in fact its going to have the reverse effect. Less and less exposure for artists means less desire to go buy the music we like to play on stream. This is not the artists fault this is directly tied to the music label management because they are the ones trying to collect $$$.
The labels hardly ever even pay the artists...
what is this buying music you speak of... LOL
The only way I knew their songs existed was through memeing copyright songs. Now we'll never know.
Barely anyone asks about the songs people use on streams so it’s minimal either way, I don’t think that’s what it’s about either
i know this sounds like it is what it is about, it really is about pushing the songs to music services and the streaming services having to pay through that mechanism. I really think apple, amazon, spotify, and pandara are pushing for something bigger and more lucrative. And I have a suspicion if we were able to see all the details of the music services contracts, we would see that this type of oversight is required to ensure the integrity and value of the contracts.
They need to repeal or rewrite this act...it went into affect in 1998...that's 22 years ago. Try to imagine how much has changed since then.
Couldn't agree more, needs updating for the internet era.
They are not even going to look at it until the people raise hell about it. Cowering by searching for wack license free music is NOT the answer. One of these million dollar streamers are going to lose everything...THEN will they move on it...This ceiling is getting lower and lower..anyone that was alive in 98 remembers when they were suing FANS for DL their songs on Napster...this is not us..this is the scumbag music industry who rather victimize us than stay ahead of the technology curve. Rather than coming up with software to screw us..why don't they come up with something fair? because its much more lucrative and easier to bully the little people.
@@MRLEGEND101_ Hi, Music Industry here. It's extremely simple. You don't own that artists music, and you don't have the right to reproduce or broadcast it. This is, well, because artists should be paid for their work. so, if you want to use it, you might have to pay the people that got it to a place that you heard it, and you also might have to pay the person who made it. Sorry about that! When you pay to listen on Spotify, the artist makes streaming royalties and generates back end data to continue showing that artist to new people. if you stream it for hundreds of thousands of people, well then obviously the artist is now missing out on that exposure and income. Same for youtube. Watch time, Views, ad revenue, all gone because someone is giving it away for free. Unfortunately most people just don't know how copyright works or that it was created to protect creators.
@@GamingCareers I think Twitch needs to build in attribute licencing for streamers so that artists can receive their money directly from streamers.
@@garrethayes5892 so you are telling me the creator of the happy birthday song is getting money? Yeah sure, and just like that a lot of companies have bought the rights from the original artists and now are milking every single dollar they can from anyone they can, the copyright system was intended to work as a patent system were after a certain amount of time you'd have to renew the patent, but nowadays big companies are giving copyright infringement reports to small content creators for playing songs that are 50+ years old even if it wasn't intentional, a game had it, etc
A friend of mine got DMCA striked for playing songs he made himself. Yep, that's how far the scumbags are going.
did the strike have a stated reason behind it?
Not really besides the fact they claimed it was their content released on their label. The guy's a freelancer, he doesn't release music with anyone. :)
@@NiclasPettersson hey, any updates? Just curious
@@TheLivingTempest Twitch doesn't give out reasons behind them. Just claim copyrighted content, they are vague af so makes things complicated and gives them time to get back at you.
But how about the 30 second fair use rule? For alerts as an example.
Imagine getting DMCA on music released 30-50 years ago
Imagine not being paid for work you've done simply because somebody decided it was long enough ago. There is plenty of music available that is in the public domain and/or created free of copyright restrictions.
@@JonnyBravo0311 Imagine writing music with only the expectation of a 30 year copyright, only to have it extended time after time so it's now LIFE+80 years!
@@JonnyBravo0311 But the problem is that when streaming and having music in the background, it's not about the music. The music is not the focus of the stream (unless you're a music channel of course).
If I would play the music and say that it is mine, or if I would just only play the music that I don't own, sure I get that you want to take that down and it would be justified. But if you are gonna copyright strike twitch streamers because they listened to a certain song on stream, that would just be stupid. See it as a promotion. People watch a streamer for 2 reasons.
1. The streamer is very good at the thing the streamer is streaming.
2. The streamer has a great community/personality.
If I hear my favourite streamer listening to a certain song/band they really like I would check that song/band out to relate more with my favourite streamer. Wich, in turn, gives the band/artist more fans in the long run.
Now I know that the law just doesn't agree with this statement. But that's because the law is outdated for this day and age. If the law could change to specifically describe what twitch streamers and RUclipsrs can and may do with the music. Wich, in this case, would actually be promotion of the music. It would be so much better for both parties.
The problem with the current law is that it has a whole lot of grey area regarding twitch and youtube because those platforms just didn't exist at the time of making the law. The best thing for both parties is to have the law rewritten.
Or at least that is what I think is the best for both parties.
@@voidlaser02 streaming is broadcasting, and copyright law covers it. Radio stations (which broadcast music) pay for the privilege of doing so. They track each song they play, and how many times they play it. They then pay royalties to a PRO, which after taking its own cut for processing, distributes royalties to the artists. Using your analogy - which is a good one - replace "streamer" with "radio station" and you get the same thing. You tune to a radio station because you like the style of music they play. Maybe you hear a new song and really like it, so you go and buy it for yourself. If a streamer wishes to play copyrighted music, they should certainly be allowed to do so - and they should pay for it. Just because it isn't the main focus of their broadcast is irrelevant.
I agree copyright law should be looked at and the verbiage updated to include streaming platforms. It is definitely archaic for today's globally-connected society.
@@immersiveirl6638 if you are the artist and own the copyright, you can release it to public domain. Unfortunately, it is almost never that simple. Take the example provided by another commenter regarding the birthday song. That's a gross exploitation of copyright; however it's plain to see why someone would want to do so. That's a significant payday.
Services like spotify could add tags to songs, one of them being copyright free, there is lots of songs who arent in copyright free playlists that actually are, and its hard for us to know if it is or not
Please remind everybody that Spotify forbids you from using it on your stream in their TOS. Normally they wouldn't be able to tell, but if you by any chance show it on your stream you could be in trouble.
Appreciate this
if u dont think that their are embedded digital signitures in YT or spotify or the many others u are crazy..lmao...dont show the spotify!!LOL
awful
I honestly would have used it for my first stream today if I didnt see this
can confirm this is not true, i know a streamer who tabs over to show spotify and plays dmca music on stream and still gets paid by twitch and nobody from spotify cares
I am a total newbie with streaming so THANK YOU for putting together this video. It helped me find the music I was looking for and answered some lingering questions I had about how it all works.
Thanks for the clarity my friend. I'm finally getting things into place to be able to stream myself based around gaming and my own original music!! Thanks again, cheers!
I've just started streaming and your channel is insanely helpful. Thanks for what you do and keep up the good work!
Thank you Gaming Careers - I have just subscribed to Epidemic Sound using your code and enjoying some classical tunes right now. It was exactly the service I was looking for and you saved me a few dollars too. Keep up the great work. GM.
I can't believe this is actually happening. I used to love the fact that twitch will allow streamers to do anything they would like and have some background music. There were even extensions for music request :( thank god one of my viewers was like stop playing music, copyrights are insane now and that's how I ended here! Thank you so much for explaining so deeply and give us some alternatives. I miss freedom days lol.
Same dude I miss the old days of twitch.
Great video, it is the perfect combo of an explanation and an overall warning. Plus, you dove into the no longer available, "archive" of Twitch available songs. I remember that being a big thing back in the day. Sadly, Twitch sold out, theres no going back.
I love your videos man! Every time I see your face on the screen I know I’m going to learn how to do something with quick and easy step by step instructions.
Saw your email about this. Great information for new streamers and content creators as well. 100% agree with what you say about twitch not preparing as well as they could have. Haven't looked into this myself but: at least in the UK you need a PRS licence to play music in a public place such as a business. I wonder if it would be possible in future for streamers to apply for something like this but for broadcasting, in order to play what they want from where they want without any worry.
incredibly informative. thank you! I think Twitch needs to build in attribute licencing for streamers so that artists can receive their money directly from streamers.
Im learning so much from your channel. Im actually trying to start a fitness and health community by live streaming workouts people can do at home. Been trying to figure out the music setup and stream format. Cant thank you enough.
you always make the most helpful tips and tricks keep it up
I am a new streamer and am not really choosing streaming for a full time but more as a hobby, but I do want to grow on twitch and your videos are excellent and I enjoy watching them. And even though you say that this is for people who want to make this a full time job it really applies to anyone willing to make there stream better at least in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this video! Also thanks for getting the deal at Epidemic! Very cool. Love your content.
Just started using Epidemic Sound because of you. Thanks bro it's straight FIRE. Best of all. You the truth bro
What about in-game music, like from an OST or from the game itself? What about games like gta with real licensed music mixed into the game?
In game radio stations already get muted from time to time if it picks up too much of the song without interruption.
@@TheRealAlpha2 same applies, its still copyrighted and not authorised for you to use without permission from the specific studios
the original game music will be fine, but real music in the game might be a minor issue. if your uploading a vod to youtube make sure you cover up that song
Awesome, awesome, you are amazing! Thanks for the tips!!
Sorry for the late post but an idea crossed my mind that benefits both parties.
RUclips should Integrate with Twitch so that Viewer Count can be taken into account for how many people the audio is reaching. Then allow any RUclipsMusic to play (which is likely on par with Spotify?) and then allocate payment to both the streamer and artist played. This removes massive limitations. Artists get paid, Streamers get paid, viewers get more music. Everybody wins.
thank you so much homie, iv been tryin to get a stream setup, room setup and this was very helpful for one of the harder parts, so hella thanks ^_^ (From your friendly neighborhood stoner)
Thank you for posting this! I am trying epidemic sound now
Since I started streaming your videos have taught me everything I need to know! Thank you!
Where do you stream? You have no youtube subs?
@@TheGrader600 twitch
Thank you for the productive & informative content you are representing on your channel. Its a "God" blessing.
On the point:
How can you be sure, the game doesnt have copyright music itself? Can we see information beforehand? Like you buy a game... & play it right away on twitch ? - You first buy a game with viewers or just get-go get new game from Steam (any online other shop) or have it delivered to the door. There should have a lebel as "can be broadcast free on streams" or not?
What about livestreams of concerts?
What about if you invite and pay for certain party?
Would those clips consider to DMCA?
Also there are lots of people who are copyrighted by playing their OWN made music on video stages & so... World should move on and don't drag its tail beneath the teeth!
Cheers and be save aswell.
Great video as always! I just cleaned all of my clips today with the help of my amazing mods.
the enemy : not allowed to use my music
Me : I could not have asked for more. THANK YOU GOD
Great content as always! keep it real man
This will hopefully, bring a light into a lot of smaller musicians and artist to create more music. either for themselves for streams or for the public to use without copyright.
An awesome video as per usual, Pete. 😄 👍 👍
Cheers to you, my man! 🍻
Thank you so much for being so thorough in all your videos :) So helpful! Subscribed and will def be back
Thanks a lot for the video.
A couple questions.
I know the main focus at the moment is the music, but if we have panels, emojis, or screens with videogames/anime characters, could we get a strike because of that?
Also, could the Stream Avatars app be subject to a strike too?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the well made vid! Just trying to figure out this streaming thing...
I appreciate you tackling this topic. It seems very few want to discuss the truth of the law, itself, and even less want to acknowledge it once it's explained to them. While laws may be flawed, it doesn't change what violates them. The risks are real. I would like more creators to recognize this as DMCA isn't the worst that can happen. Lawsuits can, will, and have happened and to continue to ignore the law is a direct risk of content, brand and financial future.
1:56 To piggy back off your point, here, it's also a direct breach of Spotify TOS to broadcast it publicly, not just that users don't have the license.
amazing vid tnnx for the info, finally i got some free music idea's now :)
You're a life saver! Thanks for the info!
Excellent Video, Thank you for the suggestion music channels.
good lookin out dude!
Nice one, dude. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the help! We are all helping each other... someone shared this video on my discord! ♥️❤️♥️ I will share it too
Thanks for this video as someone just starting out this is great
Just to clarify, I can do a cover IF I play the song with my guitar or sing it acapella correct?
Procided you reproduce all the parts to the song, you're okay. eg dont play along to the original track, but you can record the song yourself (playing all the parts) or get your band to cover it, live.
Hi mate, thanks a lot for your video.
I have a question, does the DMCA affect short clip musics like Alerts sounds?
Or better to say can I use for example 3-4 seconds of GTA theme song for following alerts?
Thank you in advance.
Another great and useful video. Thank you
An ad for a copyright-free playlist on spotify played for me before this video, I've already downloaded it 😁
Hello! May i ask? I am a facebook live streamer and i use NCS and Streambeats as my go to playlists for streaming music while gaming. However, i have been frequently getting notifications about copyright music even though i used safe music and recently facebook live ended my stream because of it. So, i tried another alternative named pretzel.rocks but i still get a notification on copyright songs. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
Saw this coming and asked this question back when this channel was showing people how to display Spotify on your Twitch Stream when its against both Twitch and Spotify's ToS.
Thank you very much Pete! Greetins from Mexico
Awesome man, very informative, im a noob to twitch, so how do dj play the music, oris itwen it is saved on ur channels? just curious, thanku, any tips helps bud..
Thank you very much. You helped me a lot with this video.
Great video dude, thanks.
VERY Informative
When you say they have to be credited in your stream description, do you mean the BIO or...? Where might I find the stream's "description" (brand new to Twitch)
Dude you are a Legend!!
quick noob question,
I just want small audio clips to add to my static pages, how and were do I grab any??.
these places seem just like full on music to play over your stream.
any help appreciated.
Don't know if its been posted yet but twitch has had the amazon music extension for about a year that acts like watch parties. you have to seperate the music track from what is played on stream and they listen via the extension
I am just getting into streaming. I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer to this.
Can you play music from the same game you are streaming, during starting screens and such?
Out of curiosity, what happens when you no longer pay for the license? Do all old videos that have the music, which you used during the license period, suddenly become subject to a strike?
yes!
I've just started streaming and made newbie mistake of just playing an edm playlist off of RUclips. Got muted and a twitch email warning me but they said it wasn't a strike. Newbie mistake. And I really appreciate this video.
@gamingCareers, I signed up for Epidemic Sound using your link but there was no place to actually enter a CODE to get the 50% of 2 months, did I miss something?
What happen if I use Monstercat or Epidemic Sound (paid) for a RUclips video and after a few months I stop my subscription? To keep that video up, do I need to keep the subscription? Thanks
This begs the question. Are 24hr LoFi streams effectively dead?
If the music they're playing is copyrighted then yes. Non copyright sounds or anything like that won't get them dmca notices
So if i bought some tracks/eps/lps via bandcamp. Make my own mix of it, then i can legally use it?
Serious question if anyone can help, if I was to play old skool garage music could that be classified as copyright music as it's from pirate radio stations from over 20 years ago
dude thank you so much!
Is this going to affect me streaming rhythm games like beat saber? I mean ik my vods will be muted but being live playing the game.
thanks i needed this i will give a sub :)
Great video. Thank you.
Is there a chance that my viewers still can do a song requests on the stream with any of the recommended copyright free music resources?
@Gaming Careers, you forgot to include Jamendo. It's a really good free non-copyright music website. Safe for Twitch, Mixer, and RUclips. (esp. other platforms)
The next mini crisis of 2020
Osnadurtha holy shit, we’ve had covid, BLM protests, twitch dmca.
damn... 2020 is going well.
@@nark4837 don't forget the final crisis of 2020. Adobe flash player closing. Sad times
Monster cat!!! I listen to their stuff just like regularly, that’s awesome! Definitely gonna use them
Can I use the NCS music part in my stream or is it a problem?
Ok, I'm still a bit confused about this. I was just starting streaming (gaming/programming), and with programming, I wanted to have music on. All I've heard mentioned is strikes on clips and vods, which I don't really care about, and have disabled them, so do I have to worry about this at all? Plus the labels mentioned were bigger name companies and I mostly listen to smaller artists. Plus all the music I would play is music I have purchased from Amazon Music, Bandcamp, or physical CD's, not from streaming Spotify, Pandora, or whatever else.
Sooooo, maybe I'm dumb asking this but how does this work with the actual game's audio if there's music in the game itself or just the game's soundtrack?
Thanks, I've been looking for something.
Hello,
is it possible to use music from youtube audio library for twitch? (We have some videos made previously for youtube and we can use it on twitch)
Stupid question to ask: Is it ok to play unreleased music, like leaks that are not copyrighted on twitch?
As a new streamer, thank you in advance!
My main problem is that music isn't meant to be a background sound in my streams. I never use music as a result since I can only listen to my preferred music when I stream/paint/draw. It's part of my work. I do silent streams or play the music discreetly in the background, I can't really use headphones because of tinnitus issues.
The best solution for streamers would really be to have, for instance, Spotify with a subscription tier that includes streaming rights. I'm fine with paying the artists obviously but there simply isn't any platform to do it so far. So why is this still not a thing?
Kinda an old vid but I’ll ask in case I can get a response 😅 in the ncs usage policy it says something about crediting the artist aswell what if I make a big playlist with a whole lot of different artist do all I need to put in the description is the Spotify link to ncs still?
I am not seeing any chapters in the time line of this (or any video yet), but I am wondering if anyone gets the chapters the way the time stamps are formatted in the video desription.
Could you get copyrighted for a 5-10 seconds ? I want to play the superman theme for a alert.. please let me know, thank you!
How to separate the video timeline in sections like you did with this one?
So the stream beats playlist is not copyrighted?
with epidemic sounds do i just play music in my stream or do i have to add tags or something
I need “Pantera” type sounding metal.... hopefully one of these sites have that style
Maybe Pretzel
thanks mate!
so if i played music from one of these sites during a stream i would have to remove the vod or could it stay??
If you're from the US and this affects you (be you a streamer OR a viewer), please, *please* get in touch with your local lawmaker to try and find a better solution to the broken Copyright-owns-everything system!
How exactly is it broken in this situation. You think people should be able to make money with the help of using other peoples copyrighted music for free?
@@SimonWakefieldUK Already commented this on another comment, but I just want you to see a different point of view.
The problem is that when streaming and having music in the background, it's not about the music. The music is not the focus of the stream (unless you're a music channel of course).

@@voidlaser02 The problem is the corporations don't care about exposure they care about cash, full stop. Any public broadcast of the music they havent authorized like a FCC regulated radio station is still copyright infringement and always has been even before RUclips and Twitch they just turned a blind eye long enough for everyone to be able to hang themselves. The law is stupidly archaic and they'll never change it because it suits them.
@@SimonWakefieldUK The artist should indeed be paid for their work, and a single, _simple_ licensing arrangement should be available (ie, pay fixed rate monthly). Additionally, there should be no such thing as a sync license, especially when we've already paid for the broadcast license. Sync license isn't about the music, it's about the medium and is actually only a concession to the record/cd maker (ie, the music label and NOT the artist).
I agree that "for the exposure" is not a fair payment. But similarly, the current copyright system is designed to nickle-and-dime every song played on every medium even if it's only incidental (or accidental) to the content.
@@SimonWakefieldUK And most of that ignores the embedded music in many games, which IMHO should come under fair use as it's an inherrent part of the game experience.
Bro, I freaking love MonsterCat.
When I just stream for fun and I take down every clip in which I use copyrighted music right after I stop the stream... is that ok? Someone please answer.
Loved It!
Is StreamBeats and McLeod’s music free? The concept of royalty free music is new to me and I don’t understand when you need to pay or what paying for it gets you.
wait can i just get music from a youtube video that has all the credits then i add it to my channal and put the creators channel there?
pls answer plssssssss
That Hoodie is awesome!!! Anyone know where to get it from?
