How To Use The YouTube Audio Library
YouTube has become one of the most widely used platforms for sharing videos and music. It provides creators with a vast library of videos and songs that they can use in their content creation.
In addition to this, YouTube also offers a large audio library that users can access and use for free. In this blog post, we will discuss how to use the YouTube audio library to enhance your content creation.
Step 1: Accessing the YouTube Audio Library
To access the YouTube audio library, you need to first sign in to your YouTube account. Once you have signed in, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, click on “YouTube Studio.” This will take you to your YouTube dashboard.
From your dashboard, click on the “Audio Library” tab in the left-hand menu. This will take you to the YouTube audio library. Here, you will find a vast collection of audio tracks that you can use in your videos.
Step 2: Browsing the Audio Library
The YouTube audio library is organized into different categories to make it easy for you to find the audio tracks that you need. You can browse the library by selecting one of the categories listed on the left-hand side of the page. The categories include genres, moods, instruments, duration, and attribution.
You can also use the search bar at the top of the page to search for specific audio tracks. For instance, if you’re looking for background music for your video, you can type “background music” in the search bar, and the audio library will display all the relevant results.
Step 3: Previewing and Downloading Audio Tracks
Once you have found an audio track that you like, click on the play button to preview it. You can also click on the “More” button to view additional information about the track, such as the duration and the attribution requirements.
If you like the audio track, click on the download button to download it to your computer. The audio tracks are available in different formats, including MP3 and WAV. Choose the format that works best for you.
Step 4: Understanding Attribution Requirements
Some of the audio tracks in the YouTube audio library require attribution. This means that you need to credit the artist or the source of the audio in your video. To view the attribution requirements for an audio track, click on the “More” button next to the track.
If you use an audio track that requires attribution, you need to credit the artist or the source of the audio in the video description. You can do this by adding a line that says “Music by [Artist Name]” or “Audio provided by [Source Name].”
Step 5: Using the Audio Tracks in Your Videos
Once you have downloaded an audio track, you can use it in your videos. To do this, you need to import the audio track into your video editing software. The process for importing audio tracks varies depending on the software that you are using.
In most video editing software, you can import audio tracks by clicking on the “Import” button and selecting the audio file from your computer. Once you have imported the audio track, you can drag it to the timeline and adjust its length to match the length of your video.
