Can I purchase Artlist Music to use as a standalone audio?

The Artlist standard license is a synchronization license. Tracks can only be used within video projects (e.g., a film, ad, presentation). The music can’t be used as a standalone (audio only) without being part of a video (with the exception of podcasts). This includes radio, playlists, background music, telephone on-hold music, etc.

You can’t in any way use, record, perform, present, publicly perform, copy, distribute in any manner, transfer, share, sell or give a license to the music as a standalone.

Can I edit, mix, render or re-master the audio assets?

With an active subscription, you can edit the licensed music, SFX, vocals, AI Voiceover, or other audio from Artlist in any way to fit your video project. The license we offer is a license to use the assets, not to own them. This means that you cannot take credit for the new creation.
