Epidemic Sound Reviews

They feel like actual peers in the creative process. They understand how editors think, but they also genuinely listen when something doesn’t work. Whenever I bring up an issue, whether it’s a workflow detail or something that feels off, the response is usually either “we’re already working on that” or “I’ll pass it to the team,” and it actually gets done. The combination of a massive library, a great tool, and a team that reacts quickly to feedback makes the whole experience feel collaborative rather than transactional.

The library's size is great, but it also makes it difficult to find exactly what you need. The filters help, but they are not always enough, and the search can feel a bit unclear at times. I notice this especially with sound effects. There is so much good material, but it can take longer than it should to narrow it down. I do not have a perfect solution, but anything that makes discovery smoother would make a big difference.

It solves the headache of finding music that is both good and fully safe to use. I do not have to chase licenses or wonder if something is allowed. I can drop tracks straight into a timeline and keep working without losing momentum. The plug-in also helps a lot. I do not use it all the time, because sometimes it is easier to search on the website with a big window and listen in the background. I often build a list there first and then switch to the plug-in when I start editing, since everything I picked is already waiting for me. It lets me focus on the fun part, the creative work, instead of getting stuck in the boring logistical stuff.

There are plenty of high-quality tracks, and I especially love the ones with vocals. Compared to other services, both the quality and pricing are very satisfying. What I liked the most was the customer support. It’s super friendly and answers questions quickly. I also appreciate the variety of download options and formats, and the curation system works really well.

The search system is a bit too broad, which makes it time-consuming to find the exact effects I need. I also feel that the license coverage is quite narrow for the cost.

I can introduce high-quality tracks that most people might not even know about.

There is a great selection of genres and the songs have identity (compared to other stock websites). Their monthly changing catalogues are also useful. Customer service is great in responding to personal requests. Great licensing as well - pleased to know that they represent their artists too, not just their customers.

There is nothing in particular to dislike about Epidemic.

Music licensing and constant stream of music.

The music is curated based on what I like and it gives suggestions. AI helps with my work flow which reduces my time editing

Sometimes it suggest the wrong tracks and shows tracks I have downloaded

Curating playlist helps with my workflow production.

The music offering is so broad; it feels like there's a perfect song for every single video edit we make. It is intuitive and the customer support is excellent.

We initially struggled with knowing what type of account level we needed - this became more abundantly clear as Epidemic evolved but it wasn't so clear when we first registered

Epidemic have really helped us as a business working with partners. When creating videos for joint projects, they have found a solution which both satisfies the partner and fulfils our agreement with Epidemic. The support from Lucy Willows has been first-rate.

.Website UI and the various range of music options

Nothing that comes to mind atm , it's a great platform for what I need

Finding the correct soundtracks and sfx

As a publisher I can highly recommend partnering up with Epidemic Sound. Besides the high quality music and the tailored customer success support the real value lies in the efficiency of the tool enabling us to make substantial savings in our day to day work.

Epidemic Sound has eliminated administrative friction and legal complexity. This frees up time for all of us to focus on creativity and journalistic quality. The streamlined process helps us as sound plays a central role in building credibility and driving audience engagement.

I can’t think of anything in particular that I dislike about Epidemic Sound.

As an editor and storyteller, finding the right music takes a lot of time. Epidemic Sound has a wide catalog of music in hundreds of genres, and they have developed lots of smart features that help me find the right music fast, with tools that lets me be creative and adapt tracks so that they suit any story. Their plugins let me stay in flow and work faster and more efficiently, with the highest quality music and sound effects.

I like its high-quality, royalty-free music library, making it a favorite among content creators.

If you cancel your subscription, you lose the right to use the music in future projects, which can be frustrating for long-term content creators.

Epidemic Sound provides royalty-free tracks with clear licensing, ensuring users can use music without worrying about takedowns.

I like the fact that I can use any music or sound effect on the sight and not have to worry about a copyright strike on social media. I have to make a lot of content and would not have the time to search free sites to do this. The selection is really good also.

I don't think there is anything I don't like about Epidemic Sound. The interace is simple and easy to use. I love the visuals on the website also. They are fantastic pics that make it easy to search. I use Epidemic Sound almost daily.

Epidemic Sound solves the problem of having to make sure I am allowed to use the music on my videos so I don't have to worry about copyright strikes on social media. I like the fact that it is simple and easy and one price. Some other platforms it seems we need to keep leveling up our pricing to get the best assets but not so for Epidemic Sound. All available at the same price.

I love how the music is categorized. I can choose music based on a mood, which truly is awesome.

I really don't believe there is a downside. I have never had any problems finding just the right music for any of my creative projects. I always give credit to the original creators, the music is free, and even when I post to other platforms like Youtube or Facebook, I don't have to worry about copyright or usage issues.

I have to create a lot of commercials, PSAs, and short video clips. Finding just the right background music was always a hassle before we got an account with Epidemic Sound. Now I just match the mood of the project to a search in ES and find tons of tunes to choose from. It is easy to download them and it makes the overall project easier and faster to complete.
