My Old Music Workflow (Expensive)
I run a content agency. We produce 40+ videos per month for clients.
Old costs:
And I was still getting copyright claims on 2-3 videos per month.
The Breaking Point
Last quarter, a client's video got a copyright strike. They blamed us. We lost the contract.
Value of lost contract: $3,000/month recurring.
That is when I started looking for alternatives.
Discovering AI Music Generation
A friend recommended Mubert - an AI that generates unique, royalty-free music.
I was skeptical. AI music? Probably sounds robotic.
I was wrong.
The Test
I generated 10 tracks for different video types:
Results: 9/10 tracks were immediately usable. Professional quality.
The Switch
New workflow:
1. Describe the music needed
2. AI generates in 30 seconds
3. Download and use
4. Zero copyright risk
New cost: $14.99/month for unlimited tracks
The Numbers After 3 Months
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $549 | $15 |
| Copyright claims | 2-3/month | 0 |
| Time finding music | 15 hours/month | 2 hours/month |
| Client complaints | Occasional | None |
Monthly savings: $534
Annual savings: $6,408
What About Quality?
Honestly? 90% of the time, AI music is indistinguishable from stock music.
For the 10% of premium projects, I still occasionally hire a composer. But that is rare.
The Hidden Benefit: Time
Old workflow: 20-30 minutes searching for the right track per video.
New workflow: 2-3 minutes generating and selecting.
40 videos/month = 13+ hours saved monthly.
At $50/hour agency rate = $650/month in time savings.
Total monthly value: $534 (cost) + $650 (time) = $1,184/month
Why It Works for Agencies
1. Unlimited tracks: No quota limits
2. Commercial rights: All client work covered
3. Unique music: Each track is one-of-a-kind
4. Fast turnaround: Generate in seconds, not hours
5. Zero legal risk: No copyright database matches
My Recommendation
If you produce more than 5 videos per month, AI music generation pays for itself immediately.
Even if you produce 1 video per month, $15 is cheaper than a single stock music license.
