We&#8217;ve outlined what a <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/\">RouteNote Licensing<\/a> subscription entails, versus a free account!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/uk\/\">Spotify<\/a>, a free account means you&#8217;re subjected to swathes of adverts. Some services offer watermarked versions of things, or just limited free trials. When you&#8217;re making decisions online, it&#8217;s handy to have all the necessary info laid out for you. We get it, you&#8217;re busy. There&#8217;s content to be created, videos to be shot, footage to be edited&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We feel it&#8217;s important to give people the chance to dip their toes, and try things on for size first. That&#8217;s why we made signing up to RouteNote Licensing free and open to everyone. Getting familiar with the site and its content is important for anyone considering a subscription. Of course, there are lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/benefits-of-a-synchedin-subscription\/\">benefits<\/a> to having a RouteNote Licensing subscription too. A free and paid account do serve slightly different purposes, and we&#8217;re about to explain exactly what the differences are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Free Account on RouteNote Licensing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect for anyone looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/where-to-find-free-music-for-twitch-livestreams\/\">music that&#8217;s legal to stream<\/a> on sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/\">Twitch<\/a>, a RouteNote Licensing free account still lets you enjoy every single track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Ad-Free Streaming<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/routenote-licensing-blog\/1\/2022\/04\/a0e74141-stream-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6737 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With a free account, you can listen to every single <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/royalty-free-music-ultimate-guide\/\">royalty free<\/a> track in the <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/discover-music\">catalogue<\/a> without interruption. So, whether you need music for a livestream, or you just want to enjoy some indie artists, you can do so without any pesky ads getting in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Create Collections<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve come across lots of songs that work perfectly with your content, or are just getting stuck in your head, you can create your own <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collections\">collections<\/a>.

Equally, sound design and Foley in film is crucial for creating a fully finished product. A free RouteNote Licensing account enables you to download <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/whats-the-difference-between-cc0-and-royalty-free-sfx\/\">creative commons (CC0) sound effects<\/a>, to use in any kind of project you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Top Notch Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/routenote-licensing-blog\/1\/2022\/04\/d60925fe-support-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6738 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re parting with cash or holding the purse strings tight, you&#8217;ll also receive the finest customer support with RouteNote Licensing.

There are several plans, all of which offer the flexibility that we know creatives enjoy &#8211; we&#8217;re creatives too, after all! Here&#8217;s everything you get with a RouteNote Licensing subscription, starting from just $3.99 per month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Unlimited Music Downloads<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/routenote-licensing-blog\/1\/2022\/04\/f3d3411c-music-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6741 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/intros-how-to-choose-the-right-opening-music\/\">intro music<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-soundtrack-indie-films-on-a-budget\/\">soundtrack for an indie film<\/a>, royalty free music is the affordable and accessible alternative to licensing mainstream music. Paying for individual tracks can be very expensive, and not doable for most independent creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A subscription with RouteNote Licensing is inexpensive and, most importantly, limitless! Download 1 track or 1000 in a month, it won&#8217;t cost you any more than $4.16 per month (based on an annual plan). If you&#8217;re working on a number of projects at once, you&#8217;ll be able to find music for all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Unlimited SFX Downloads<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for sound effects &#8211; all of them. Download unlimited royalty free and CC0 sound effects from just $3.99 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Commercial &amp; Personal Use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/routenote-licensing-blog\/1\/2022\/04\/a6227b9b-billboard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6740 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you create videos in your bedroom to share online for fun, or maybe you&#8217;re a freelance creator specialising in advertising for big companies. You can use any RouteNote Licensing track in your project just the same. There&#8217;s no limitation on how many tracks you use for commercial purposes &#8211; that&#8217;s all up to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Claim Resolution<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a YouTuber, you&#8217;ll be all too familiar with copyright <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/whats-the-difference-between-a-copyright-claim-and-a-copyright-strike-on-youtube\/\">claims and strikes<\/a>. These bothersome notifications can get in the way of monetisation, which is never a good thing, and especially YouTube is your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A RouteNote Licensing subscription gives you access to <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/claims-control-what-do-we-mean\/\">full claims control<\/a>. That means, if any copyright issues arise due to the music you&#8217;ve used, we can resolve them within 48 hours (although it&#8217;s usually 24 &#8211; we hate to keep people waiting!). Make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on any YouTube revenue because of copyright complications ever again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Plus Free Options<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, a RouteNote Licensing subscription also includes all the options available with a free account!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/signup\">Sign up<\/a> to RouteNote Licensing today to enjoy all the free perks whilst getting to know us a little better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not always obvious what the differences between free and paid services are.
