Maker Studios has entered into a commercial agreement that gives its network of video content creators free, unlimited access to the Epidemic Sound library of professional quality production music.

Under the agreement Maker content creators will also have access to Epidemic Sound’s advanced tools for music search, exploration, editing and download. Epidemic Sound buys music directly from composers when tracks are created, and is headquartered in Stockholm.

The Epidemic Sound library contains more than 25,000 tracks that are tagged and formatted for the company’s advanced search tools used to explore, edit and download the music. Each track is broken into STEMS — individual tracks where the instruments can be heard and edited separately — thereby creating over 100,000 sound files available for use, according to Maker Studios.

Maker Studios is among the world’s largest multi-channel network of online video content, with more than 4 billion monthly video views and 260 million subscribers.
