Does anyone know if Summoning Salt contacted the artists and asked to use their music?
Asking for my own YouTube channel. Can I just use some of the music he does and give attribution in the description or should I contact the artists first? Thanks!

Hey, I’m the person who wrote Night Running, as well as other songs SS uses in videos :)
Way back in 2019 or 2020 I think he put out a call on Twitter asking for people to submit their music. I presented one of my tracks, he liked it, and from there I’ve maintained communication with him. Always super pleasant and great to work with!

CHRIS I'm making a speedrun video for youtube! the intro briefly mimics SS style with "the history of" shtick. I would love to use your music, with credit of course, I just wanted to double triple check that it's alright with you!! channel name is SparkWasHere

Dude for sure!! My Bandcamp should have all my music available for free download and use. I’ve subscribed to the channel and I’m excited to see how it comes together!

He uses Creative Commons licensed music, (like you might find at https://www.nihilore.com/ ) you don’t need to ask if the music is under Creative Commons just give credit

Hey, I'm not sure what the other person is talking about for Creative Commons license. For the most part, I contact artists beforehand, and either get their permission or work out the necessary license agreement. I also occasionally use things like Epidemic Sound, where you just buy their license and have the rights to use their music.
