- Is "Urgent News Theme" free to use commercially?
- Yes. "Urgent News Theme" is free for commercial and personal use under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) — monetised YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads, streams, films and client work are all covered, with no fees, royalties or subscription. The one condition is the credit: “Urgent News Theme” by BudgetPixel AI (https://budgetpixel.com/background-music/urgent-news-theme-7d010664) — CC BY 4.0
- Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Urgent News Theme"?
- 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 "Urgent News Theme"?
- "Urgent News Theme" runs 30 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 "Urgent News Theme" 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 "Urgent News Theme"?
- 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.
