HELP! AUDIO GOT MUTED!

[Galvin Lee]

I just recorded and uploaded my CAJON COVER of Sam Smith's I'm Not The Only One and my audio track was muted! Can anyone help me on this?

You probably made it sound too much like the original and youtube auto picked up on this. you might have to change pitch or something to make it different enough that youtube wont consider it to be the same song. Either that or you need to get into a partnership that allows you to do covers of copyrighted music

Thanks for your reply! So there are two questions here.
1. Are there partnerships that can let me use artists' songs legally?
2. I'm doing a cajon/drum cover so I must use the original song. Will I be able to use the song when I partner with networks like Fullscreen?

No and no. Networks are not some magical portal to using copyrighted songs. Any network claiming otherwise is lying to you.

So what should I do now? Leave it there?
