FAQ
Answers about Soundroll music, licenses, downloads, Content ID, and cue sheets.
Are Soundroll tracks made by AI?
No. Soundroll tracks are original human-created music works by Soundroll. The catalog does not contain AI-generated music tracks. Some website images or album artwork may be AI-generated or AI-assisted, but the music tracks themselves are not AI-generated.
Can I use Soundroll music on YouTube?
Yes, if you purchase the correct license for your use. Soundroll tracks may be registered with YouTube Content ID, so a claim may appear. A valid license proves that you have permission to use the track.
What should I do if I get a YouTube Content ID claim?
Send your order number, track title, license type, buyer email, and video URL through the contact page. Your license document can also be used as proof of valid use.
What file do I receive after purchase?
After purchase, you receive the licensed WAV file and a license document. Website preview MP3 files are for evaluation only; downloaded preview MP3 files may be watermarked and are not the licensed master files.
Can I download a preview before buying?
Yes. Some tracks include a free watermarked MP3 preview download so you can test the music in your edit before purchasing. The watermarked MP3 is for evaluation only and is not licensed for publishing, broadcasting, monetization, client delivery, or public release. To publish or deliver a project using the track, purchase the correct license.
What license should I choose?
Choose Personal License for personal videos, student projects, personal social media, personal YouTube videos, and monetized YouTube videos created for your own channel. Choose Commercial License for client work, company use, paid ads, branded content, apps, games, podcasts, and corporate videos. Choose Broadcast License for TV, radio, film, trailers, documentaries, streaming-platform productions, and projects requiring cue sheet information. You can compare the license tiers on the Licenses page.
Are the licenses exclusive?
No. Soundroll licenses are non-exclusive. Other customers may license the same track.
Can I use the music in paid advertising?
Yes, but you need a Commercial License or Broadcast License, depending on the project type and media usage.
Can I use the music on TV, radio, or film?
Yes, but you need a Broadcast License. Broadcast purchases include cue sheet information.
Do I need to submit a cue sheet?
For broadcast, TV, film, radio, streaming-platform productions, or productions that require music reporting, cue sheets may be required. Broadcast users are responsible for submitting accurate cue sheets.
What cue sheet information should I use?
Use the information included in your license document. Standard Soundroll cue sheet information includes:
Composer: Dmitry Lifshitz
PRO Affiliation: ACUM
PRO / IPI / CAE: 00585908696
What is PRO?
PRO means Performing Rights Organization.
A PRO is an organization that collects and distributes public performance royalties when music is broadcast, performed publicly, or used in certain media such as TV, radio, film, streaming platforms, and public venues.
Soundroll is affiliated with ACUM, and the cue sheet information for Soundroll tracks is:
Composer: Dmitry Lifshitz
PRO Affiliation: ACUM
PRO / IPI / CAE: 00585908696
For most online projects, such as YouTube videos, social media videos, client videos, corporate content, podcasts, apps, and ads, you usually only need to purchase the correct Soundroll license.
For broadcast projects, such as TV, radio, film, documentaries, trailers, and productions that require music reporting, you may need to submit cue sheet information. The Broadcast License includes the cue sheet details needed for this process.
The Soundroll license gives you legal permission to use the music in your project. PRO registration helps music usage be reported correctly when the project is broadcast or publicly performed.
What is Content ID?
Content ID is a digital music-recognition system used by platforms such as YouTube to identify copyrighted music in uploaded videos.
Soundroll tracks may be registered with YouTube Content ID. This means that when you upload a video using a Soundroll track, YouTube may automatically detect the music and show a Content ID claim.
A Content ID claim does not mean you used the music illegally. If you purchased a valid Soundroll license, you have permission to use the track according to the license tier you selected.
If a claim appears, use your Soundroll license document or order receipt as proof of valid licensed use.
For claim-clearance support, use the contact page and include:
- Order number
- Track title
- License type
- Buyer email
- Video URL
Soundroll will make reasonable efforts to help clear valid licensed uses. Claim-clearance timing may depend on YouTube, rights-management systems, and third-party processing times.
Important: customers may not register Soundroll music, edited versions, or derivative versions with Content ID, Facebook Rights Manager, TikTok rights management, fingerprinting systems, or similar rights-management platforms.
Can I edit the track?
Yes. You may cut, loop, fade, mix, and synchronize the licensed track with your project. You may not resell, redistribute, remix, sample, or turn the track into a competing audio product.
Are stems included?
No. Stems are not included by default. They may be available by request for some tracks, but availability is not guaranteed.
Can I register the music with Content ID?
No. You may not register Soundroll music, edited versions, or derivative versions with YouTube Content ID, Facebook Rights Manager, TikTok rights management, fingerprinting systems, music-recognition systems, or similar platforms.
Can I register the music with a PRO or collection society?
No. You may not register Soundroll music as your own composition, master recording, publishing work, or rights-managed work.
Can I use the music for AI training?
No. Soundroll does not allow the music to be used for AI training, machine-learning datasets, generative AI systems, audio-model training, or similar data-processing uses.
Can I use one license for multiple projects?
A license covers the specific use allowed by the selected license tier. For multiple unrelated projects, client projects, campaigns, or broadcast uses, purchase the appropriate license or contact Soundroll for clarification.
Can I get a refund?
Because Soundroll sells digital music licenses and downloadable files, sales are generally final once files or license documents are delivered. Refunds may be considered for duplicate purchases, technical delivery failures, incorrect charges, or cases required by law.
I did not receive my download or license document. What should I do?
Contact through the contact page with your order number, buyer email, and track title.
Can I request a custom license?
Yes. Send the track title, project type, media, territory, term, production name, and any special requirements through the contact page.
