In cases where the music is not used only to support the video, and is the main content being promoted.

The examples above are not considered video creations and are treated by us as “audio creations” and, therefore forbidden under the Creator Plan. If you are interested in using SOUNDRAW under these use cases, please contact support@soundraw.co.jp.

1. Artist Plan:

If you want to use SOUNDRAW music on its own, you can now sign up for our newly released Artist Plan! It allows you to add your original vocals and instruments (=melody) to the songs you downloaded with SOUNDRAW and distribute them as your songs! This allows you to do the following:

  • Distribute the songs on music streaming services (such as Spotify)

  • Sell the songs on platforms such as Apple Music (or even in CD format)

  • Sell the songs as an NFT (with content that is owned by you)

Please check this FAQ section for more information on our Artist Plan!

 

  • Registering any song under a Content ID system (prohibited under any plan)  ※ For reasons, please see here.
