It's a struggle to find uncopyrighted music to use that doesn't sound like a cheesy jingle. Music is definitely a make or breaks for the quality of your video.

How to Use Copyrighted Music In Your YouTube Videos
So you have an AWESOME video filmed and you want to use music that matches quality - go into YouTube stock library and it’s… far from awesome. Wish you can use top 40 songs or other great music - show you how to do so while still monetizing your videos.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my music — it’s gotten GREAT over last couple months. I’ll explain why in a bit. YouTube copyright is a huge issue right now — truth is a lot is out of your control, what is in your control is what you chose to use. Always want to do things the BEST way most long term/white hat way possible. Here are six methods to use copyrighted music in your videos order of best to worst)
1. BEST: Make Your Own
PROS: Best because NO ONE else has this/ arrange to your track 100%custom. Cross your passions into one.
CONS: Time-consuming!
2. GOOD: YouTube Library
PROS: Royalty free music in YouTube Library. Lots of jingles.
CONS: Sounds cheap. Sounds like everyone else. Poorly sorted, time-consuming to find songs. Sounds like royalty free music…
3. GOOD: Epidemic Sounds (my favorite)
Affiliate Link: https://goo.gl/OoPgFA
PROS: Amazing royalty free sounds. Doesn't sound cheap. Isolate stems of songs. Sorted by playlist/library. GREAT customer support. GREAT deals with YT subscription (not sketchy like other “royalty free” banks that make you subscriber FOREVER or else they claim your content)
CONS: Cost, carry over to other platforms (export without audio each video).
4. OKAY: SoundCloud
Contact independent artists and get permission.
PROS: GREAT music. Great networking.
CONS: Time consuming. Hustle. Could copyright later.
5. SKETCHY “GRAY HAT” METHODS:
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: I NO LONGER DO/RECOMMEND ANY OF THESE!
Pitch Correction: Raise pitch 1-2 semitones avoid detection.
REMIX: Use a remix or bootleg of track
20 SEC: Rumor that you can use up to 20 seconds of a track won’t pick it up.
6. AWFUL / DO NOT DO “BLACK HAT” METHODS:
Mp3 song Taylor Swift/ uber popular top 40 artist
