Why Epidemic Sound

Music should strengthen the edit, not slow it down.

For me, the value is not simply having a large music library. It is being able to move from an idea to a usable soundtrack quickly while knowing the licence fits the way the finished content will actually be published.

01 / MUSIC

Music built around video

Search by genre, mood, pace and creative direction to find music for YouTube, filmmaking, travel films, tutorials, product reviews and branded content.

02 / SFX

250,000+ sound effects

Build more immersive edits with environmental sound, transitions, impacts, foley and detailed sound design from the same ecosystem.

03 / LICENSING

Clearer publishing workflow

Safelist the relevant channels and use the plan designed for the way you publish, whether that is your own creator content or eligible professional client work.

04 / DISCOVERY

Faster soundtrack discovery

Epidemic Sound now combines traditional search and playlists with newer AI-assisted discovery and soundtracking tools, helping narrow large catalogues more quickly.

05 / WORKFLOW

Closer to the editing timeline

Editing integrations and desktop tools help reduce the constant jumping between browser searches and the actual video-editing workflow.

06 / CREATIVE

Built for regular publishing

When you make content frequently, speed matters. A searchable library, music variations and integrated sound design can make soundtrack selection considerably less disruptive.

Why I recommend it

This is part of my real working workflow.

I work across photography, filmmaking, YouTube content, tutorials, product reviews and commercial projects. That means music is not something I choose occasionally — it is part of the editing process on a continual basis.

What keeps Epidemic Sound useful for me is the combination of music quality, searchability, sound effects and a licensing structure designed around online video. I can concentrate on the pace and feeling of an edit rather than treating music selection as a separate administrative problem.

If you are producing travel films, filmmaking content, photography videos, YouTube tutorials, social content or client productions, that reduction in friction is where I think the platform becomes particularly valuable.

Creative Workflow

How I think about music inside an edit.

01 / FIND

Start with emotion

I normally begin with the feeling, pace or atmosphere I need rather than searching for an arbitrary genre. That produces more useful soundtrack choices much faster.

02 / BUILD

Edit around the picture

The soundtrack should support the rhythm of the film. Versions, stems, sound effects and modern soundtracking tools make it easier to shape audio around an existing sequence.

03 / PUBLISH

Check the licence

Before publishing, I make sure the destination and client use fit the licence and that the relevant channels are correctly connected or safelisted.

Epidemic Sound FAQ

Common questions before subscribing.

What is the Simon Songhurst Epidemic Sound discount code?

My Epidemic Sound code is SIMON50. For eligible new subscribers, the current Simon Songhurst offer provides a 30-day free trial followed by 50% off the first two paid months. Start through the ambassador link on this page and confirm the promotion at checkout.

Is there an Epidemic Sound free trial?

Yes. Eligible new customers can start with a free trial before moving onto a paid subscription. The ambassador offer linked from this page currently provides a 30-day free-trial route.

Can I use Epidemic Sound music on monetised YouTube videos?

Epidemic Sound plans are designed to cover eligible monetised online content when the relevant channels are correctly connected or safelisted and you remain within the terms of your selected licence.

Which Epidemic Sound plan should a YouTuber choose?

Creator is designed for individual creators publishing on their own channels. If you also produce commercial content for clients, need digital-ad licensing or need additional monetised channels, Pro is likely to be the more appropriate starting point.

Can filmmakers use Epidemic Sound for client work?

Yes, but professional client publishing requires the appropriate licence. Epidemic Sound's Pro plan includes online client-work sublicensing and digital-ad licensing, making it considerably more relevant to freelance filmmakers and commercial creators.

What happens to videos after I cancel Epidemic Sound?

Content that was properly published while your free trial or subscription was active remains cleared provided it was published and safelisted in accordance with your plan terms. New content published after the subscription ends is not automatically covered.

How large is the Epidemic Sound library?

Epidemic Sound currently advertises more than 55,000 music tracks and more than 250,000 sound effects and variations, alongside tools for soundtrack discovery, editing and voice-based workflows.

Is SIMON50 an affiliate code?

Yes. I am an Epidemic Sound brand ambassador. If you subscribe through my ambassador link or eligible creator code I may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you.
