Epidemic Sound stands out from the typical AI crowd with their recent showcased audio catalog at NAB 2026. They introduce a music library that focuses on supporting real independent artists while also being intuitive in its AI integration. It supports any creator’s needs when looking for music or audio resources, and has an easy-to-use system that aims to eliminate the time spent searching for specific assets. Here’s an overview of how it works, who it benefits, and why it could be a useful resource to invest in long-term.
How It Works
Epidemic Sound boasts over 55 thousand tracks and over 250 thousand sound effects, and with all of their catalog being 100% owned by them, creators don’t have to worry about being hit with copyright issues ten years down the line. Epidemic Sound works directly with their artists, and is partnered with major platforms such as Tik Tok, Youtube, and Spotify.
They also provide useful tools such as AI enhanced voiceovers, sourced either from their own catalog or from your own inputted voice. Type in any text to generate custom voiceovers with ease.
While sifting through their entire vast catalogue may seem daunting, Epidemic Sound features an integrated search assistant that can provide assets based on the descriptions a user gives, such as basketball montage video, or cinematic outdoor romance scenes. The assistance will bring up suggested tracks and follow-up questions to help narrow down and guide your search for the perfect fit.
Alongside their wide array of music, if you find yourself enjoying a certain track but wanting to change the tempo, genre, or vibe, their tool Adapt is able to do so, adjusting and generating new versions based on your feedback and needs. This adds another layer of customization and workflow streamlining in your search for the perfect soundtrack.
Lastly, their most recent update, Studio, uses AI technology to build entire audio timelines for users that implement both sound and audio depending on the project. It works by analyzing a submitted video and then automatically providing tracks and giving suggestions on where to place certain sound effects through the video and what background music to use.
Avoid the hassle and time-consuming task of looking for track and sounds by utilizing their entire tool line.
Who It Benefits
As a result of all these features, Epidemic Sound benefits all creators looking to streamline the content creation process or boost their unique film projects. Their royalty-free music is perfect for content creators looking to post their work on various platforms with high-quality music, without having to worry about licensing or possible issues. And because Epidemic Sound works directly with their artists, their quality is both professional and polished, making it a reliable resource for any project.
Flexible pricing that adjusts based on your scope makes Epidemic Sound an affordable option for independent creators or limited-budget productions.
Unlike the majority of the AI market, Epidemic Sound prioritizes and values the heart in the human creative, constantly meeting and communicating with their artists for branding, partnerships, and more. All their tracks are human-made, but provide the option to be enhanced and adjusted by their AI.
What's Next
Epidemic Sound is committed to constantly improving their platform’s capabilities and tools for users. Some features planned for the next six months are new languages to the voiceover, additional functionality to the AI assistant, and adopting new plugins.
