The perils of poor audio quality

Live streaming is a big part of the online world, with platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Gaming at the forefront. These platforms allow creators to share live content with a large audience worldwide, creating lively communities and allowing real-time interaction.

However, when live streaming, it is important to be cautious about using copyrighted music. Platforms like Twitch and YouTube enforce strict rules on copyrighted content, and violations can lead to consequences like muted audio, copyright strikes, or even channel suspension. Avoiding copyrighted music keeps you out of trouble and makes your content more professional and enjoyable for your audience.

As well as copyright issues, poor quality audio results in a poor quality listening and viewing experience for your audio. No one wants to hear a mic crackling, or the roar of traffic outside. A professional gamer with a large audience needs clear, crisp audio to offer the best viewing experience.

One way to clean up your recording and remove background music is to use a Voice Isolator from ElevenLabs. This tool uses the power of AI to identify and eliminate music, mic feedback, and any other sounds your recording picked up, to deliver a crystal clear, professional-grade stream.

Why you may want to remove music from your stream

Let's take a look at some of the reasons why streamers may wish to remove music from their VODs.

Copyright issues

Using music you don't have permission to use can have serious legal consequences. When you use copyrighted music in your streams, the creators and owners of the music have the right to take legal action against you. 

Many streaming platforms have systems that automatically detect when copyrighted music is being used, and they can take actions like giving you a strike. Your channel can be closed down if you get three strikes on platforms like YouTube. 

On Twitch, repeated violations can lead to your account being suspended or permanently banned. These strikes not only put your channel at risk but can also harm your reputation in the community.

Viewer experience

When you're streaming, background music can make it hard for people to hear you and the game. Viewers often prefer clear audio without distracting music. Removing background music helps ensure a better experience for your audience.

Content monetization

Ensuring that you do not use copyrighted music is essential to protect your earnings. Platforms like Twitch and YouTube have different ways for you to make money, such as ads, subscriptions, and sponsorships. But if your content has copyrighted music, it can cause problems.

The use of copyrighted music significantly affects ads and sponsorships. Advertisers don't want their ads on content that breaks copyright laws, and they might stop supporting you if there are issues. Also, using copyrighted music can lead to demonetization, where the platform stops showing ads on your videos so that you won't earn as much.

Content without copyrighted music is more likely to be shared and supported. People who watch videos and other creators are more interested in content that won't get them in trouble for copyright. This can help your videos reach more people and earn you more money. By ensuring your content follows copyright rules, you're protecting and improving your streaming income.
