With a variety of license types, dynamic presets for streaming and over 1 million samples from more than 4,000 musicians, it is one of the most powerful and versatile music licensing platforms around.Stand Out From The Crowd – Music For Content CreatorsContent creators often struggle with sifting through thousands of stock audio tracks in search of the “perfect soundtrack.” Unfortunately, stock music never quite fits. Using YouTube tune library can be just as fruitless for the unique content creator, as many of these tracks have been used by millions of creators before. With Mubert, content creators gain access to real-time generative music and pre-made tracks, which they may Render with the genre, mood and length, allowing for more customization than ever before. The platform has more than 100 genres and a large selection of attributes, such as mood, tempo and genre, to help creators find the right music for their project fast.

From casual Twitch and Youtube Streamers to app-building gurus, the platform provides unique, custom-made music with a single subscription.Music Without Strikes or Copyright InfringementsFears of copyright/DMCA claims and strikes can hinder a content creator’s ability to work freely. One mistake and hours of work could be tossed down the drain due to unexpected or unpredictable platform algorithms. People often end up dealing with stock websites that don’t have the correct license, websites with inaccurate license descriptions, licenses that don’t cover the necessary content, or licenses that aren’t available in all countries. When content creators use Mubert, they never have to worry about music licensing or confusing royalty agreements. The beauty of Mubert is that all of the music on our platform is royalty-free and available for use worldwide. Our licenses and sub-licenses are 100% DMCA-friendly and compatible with a number of platforms, i.e., YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and more. Plus, when you license music through Mubert, you get support from licensing professionals who can help you with any questions you might have!Empowering ArtistsWith nominal commissions, hungry publishing companies and an unstable industry, artists often find it difficult to diversify their income. Here at Mubert, we understand the importance of artists, musicians and producers, which is why we collaborate with them using unique frameworks so that they can monetize their music. When artists work with Mubert, they receive a platform on which they can express themselves and earn real money on their work. When a content creator licenses music from Mubert, they are licensing high-quality, pro-level audio material made with the involvement of independent music producers. Ready to dive into the next-gen musical landscape and be a part of one of the most innovative music creation and licensing platforms around? Come join us.

- Mubert — Mubert is a music licensing platform made for streamers, app builders, filmmakers and content creators around the world. We use millions of high-quality music samples to generate and deliver exclusive, royalty-free music using the power of AI. With a near-endless music library featuring more than 100 musical categories, users can search by genre,mood and activity to find the perfect song for their project. Mubert, a platform trusted by thousands of content creators and companies like Banuba, BetterMe, Sensorium, Adidas, InsightTimer, Restream, MacPaw and Crello, can help you find the music you need.Democratization of Creator EconomyOur one-of-a-kind creator-centric platform utilizes AI to generate unlimited royalty-free music. Users can generate tracks on the go or search through a massive database of pre-made tracks to create highly personalized content. With a variety of license types, dynamic presets for streaming and over 1 million samples from more than 4,000 musicians, it is one of the most powerful and versatile music licensing platforms around.Stand Out From The Crowd – Music For Content CreatorsContent creators often struggle with sifting through thousands of stock audio tracks in search of the “perfect soundtrack.” Unfortunately, stock music never quite fits. Using YouTube tune library can be just as fruitless for the unique content creator, as many of these tracks have been used by millions of creators before. With Mubert, content creators gain access to real-time generative music and pre-made tracks, which they may Render with the genre, mood and length, allowing for more customization than ever before. The platform has more than 100 genres and a large selection of attributes, such as mood, tempo and genre, to help creators find the right music for their project fast. App creators enjoy the adaptive nature of Mubert’s music, which helps increase the in-app and in-game user experience. From casual Twitch and Youtube Streamers to app-building gurus, the platform provides unique, custom-made music with a single subscription.Music Without Strikes or Copyright InfringementsFears of copyright/DMCA claims and strikes can hinder a content creator’s ability to work freely. One mistake and hours of work could be tossed down the drain due to unexpected or unpredictable platform algorithms. People often end up dealing with stock websites that don’t have the correct license, websites with inaccurate license descriptions, licenses that don’t cover the necessary content, or licenses that aren’t available in all countries. When content creators use Mubert, they never have to worry about music licensing or confusing royalty agreements. The beauty of Mubert is that all of the music on our platform is royalty-free and available for use worldwide. Our licenses and sub-licenses are 100% DMCA-friendly and compatible with a number of platforms, i.e., YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and more. Plus, when you license music through Mubert, you get support from licensing professionals who can help you with any questions you might have!Empowering ArtistsWith nominal commissions, hungry publishing companies and an unstable industry, artists often find it difficult to diversify their income. Here at Mubert, we understand the importance of artists, musicians and producers, which is why we collaborate with them using unique frameworks so that they can monetize their music. When artists work with Mubert, they receive a platform on which they can express themselves and earn real money on their work. When a content creator licenses music from Mubert, they are licensing high-quality, pro-level audio material made with the involvement of independent music producers. Ready to dive into the next-gen musical landscape and be a part of one of the most innovative music creation and licensing platforms around? Come join us.
