The one condition is the credit: “Shadow Trap Anthem” by BudgetPixel AI (https://budgetpixel.com/background-music/shadow-trap-anthem-b5d14807) — CC BY 4.0
Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Shadow Trap Anthem"?
Yes — crediting BudgetPixel AI is the one condition of the licence, and downloading still needs no account. Put the credit line from this page wherever your project lists sources: a video description, end credits, show notes, or a game's credits screen.
What format and length is "Shadow Trap Anthem"?
"Shadow Trap Anthem" runs 45.1 seconds and downloads as WAV at 44.1 kHz, with MP3 on the same download button. Both formats carry the identical licence, so pick whichever your editor prefers — WAV for mastering headroom, MP3 for a smaller upload.
Can I use "Shadow Trap Anthem" in a monetised YouTube video?
Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted. BudgetPixel never registers library audio with Content ID, and because this track is licensed to everyone non-exclusively under CC BY 4.0, no one can hold the exclusive rights Content ID requires. If a claim ever appears, dispute it and cite this page and its licence.
Can I loop or trim "Shadow Trap Anthem"?
Yes. You can trim, loop, pitch, stretch, layer and process the track however your project needs. Keep the credit and note that you edited it — CC BY 4.0 asks you to indicate changes.
