Music licensing — common questions

Is "South Side Shuffle" free to use commercially?
Yes. "South Side Shuffle" is free for commercial and personal use under the BudgetPixel Audio Content License — monetised YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads, streams, films and client work are all covered, with no fees, royalties or subscription. The one limit is redistribution: you cannot resell or re-upload the file as audio itself, on a stock site, in a sample pack, as a dataset, or anywhere the audio is the product.
Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "South Side Shuffle"?
No. Attribution is never required for this track, and downloading it needs no account. A credit is welcome but it is not a condition of the licence.
What format and length is "South Side Shuffle"?
"South Side Shuffle" runs 50 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 "South Side Shuffle" in a monetised YouTube video?
Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted. BudgetPixel does not register library audio with Content ID, so this track will not trigger a copyright claim against your upload — and you may not register it with any content-identification system yourself.
Can I loop or trim "South Side Shuffle"?
Yes. You can trim, loop, pitch, stretch, layer and process the track however your project needs. Editing it does not change the licence, and the edited version carries the same terms as the original.
