As a YouTube creator, you'll know that the perfect track can go a long way.

We know that YouTubers can spend hours scouring thousands of tracks when it comes to selecting the music for a video - something we know all too well.

Music is key to crafting a certain feel or atmosphere in your videos, so finding top-notch audio that matches your visuals and the overall aesthetic of a piece is half the battle. You'll no doubt be wondering what sort of track will complement your pacing or if the vibe you're trying to establish will keep your audience's attention - without distracting them.

For successful track selection, our team of music moguls suggests choosing the atmosphere you want to create and going from there.

For a bit of drama, opt for individual tracks with more of a classical flourish, such as strings, with strong but laboured bass to keep things unsettled. For sports tracks, such as GoPro footage of mountain biking or that triumphant goal from the latest match, keeping up the pace with an electronic or guitar-laden mix will keep the energy up. Or perhaps you're in the market for something a little more sombre. For emotional videos that need to leave an impact, instrumental favourites with piano and ballad vocals are always winners. But variety is the spice of life.

At Rehegoo, you can easily search through our impressive collection of YouTube Royalty-Free Musicwith our filter bar attribution, or explore moods and feelings to find your musical match.

With us, you can set your sights on high-quality single tracks (or add a wide selection to your basket) without having to worry about potentially getting a copyright strike, which is arguably one of the biggest issues with music on the YouTube platform. Still confused about copyright and how it could affect your creative outlet? Let us debunk some of the guff.

Unless you're an artist who is actively sharing your own music offering, one of the trickiest tasks for YouTube creators is getting your hands on awesome background music that sounds great - and won't suffer a copyright strike.

Strikes can cause a number of issues, such as:

• Monetisation problems
• Unwanted advertisements
• Sound issues, including partial or complete audio muting
• Video blocking in some countries - or even worldwide 

This is one of the main issues for creators, especially if you don't want to compromise music quality while on the hunt for royalty-free tracks but want to avoid those irritating setbacks.

At Rehegoo, we specialise in ethically created background tracks made by independent artists from all over the globe - meaning you are helping your fellow creatives when you work with us.

As well as introducing you and your viewers to the hottest new voices and sounds around, you're safe in the knowledge that you'll never get that irritating copyright takedown request.

If you use a licensed track without permission or are found to be in breach of existing copyright regulations for a track and song, YouTube will schedule what is called a 'takedown request.'

This happens when a copyright owner finds their protected work being used for someone else’s content and has reached out to the platform to take action. If you receive one of these warnings, usually you will have 7 days to react to avoid having a 'copyright strike', which will be a blanket rule impacting your whole channel.

So, if you get one of these warnings, you can do any of the following:

• Do absolutely nothing: Creators can simply wait for the request to go into effect once the week period is up, which allows YouTube to remove the video in question and apply a strike to your account. This lasts for 90 days and can cause restrictions on how your video is monetised.

• Take the video down: No harm, no foul. If you take it down within this period, there are no issues!

• Reach out to the copyright owner: You could always get into contact with the copyright owner, who is likely the person who flagged your video for review, to ask if they could retract the claim of copyright infringement.

The simplest way to get out of this fuss is to make sure your background music is free from copyright and is licensed for use in the public domain.

It can be a confusing path for creators to tread, especially for bigger projects that need a particular sound - particularly if you already had one in mind.

The best way to avoid getting snagged by the YouTube License Brigade is to make sure you have the appropriate permissions needed to use a track - or choose music from Rehegoo’s Royalty-Free Music Library. All of our tracks are specially created and licensed for use on YouTube.

Our library gives creators a straightforward solution when it comes to avoiding hefty setbacks and annoying production issues caused by copyright strikes and demonetisation.
