How to Use the New Universal Production Music Website

The right sync track can transform your content—and now, finding it is faster, easier, and more intuitive than ever. We’ve rebuilt the Universal Production Music website with creators in mind, adding smarter tools, streamlined workflows, and a cleaner look that lets the music shine. Whether you're new to the platform or a longtime user, here’s a quick walkthrough of what’s new and how to get the most out of your music search experience.

A New Look, a Smoother Experience

The site’s refreshed design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about efficiency. We’ve improved layout navigation, introduced scrollable waveforms to quickly cue through tracks, and made sure everything runs smoothly across desktop and mobile. That means you can search, preview, and download music anywhere, anytime.

You’ll also notice faster page loads, smarter sorting, and a new “Favorites” section for easy access to the tracks that keep your projects moving. Want a shortcut to working smarter? Watch our tutorial on keyboard shortcuts.

Smarter Sync Search, Better Results

With our new best-match search, the most relevant tracks now rise to the top automatically—saving you time and clicks. You can search by keyword, title, composer, lyrics, and more. Plus, results are sorted across tracks, albums, and playlists, all in one view.

Need to get more specific? Use advanced filters to search by:

• Length and edit type

• Tempo or BPM range

• Mood, genre, or instrumentation

• Vocal or instrumental versions

• Use case, country, era, and more

It’s a fast, intuitive way to discover the right sound for your next production. Want a quick visual walk-through? Watch our Intuitive Search tutorial.

Easily Explore Music by Context

Sometimes, finding one great track leads to another. That's why we've added a Related Albums and Playlists feature on every album and playlist page—helping you uncover similar music instantly.

Our revamped Playlists, Pitches, and Favorites features make it easier than ever to organize tracks by project, mood, or deadline. Whether you’re building a temp reel or prepping for final delivery, everything stays in one place. Check out our Playlists & Pitching tutorial to get the most from these tools.

Take Creative Control with Stems

Need more flexibility? Use the “Only tracks with stems” filter to find music that puts you in the driver’s seat. Stems give you the ability to:

• Adjust the levels of individual instruments

• Remove elements that clash with dialogue or sound design

• Isolate motifs or highlight key moments in your mix

• Pan sounds in sync with visuals

• Match the rhythm to scene pacing

With stems, your soundtrack isn’t just added—it’s custom fit. Watch our Stems tutorial for a step-by-step guide.

Similarity Search: Find the Perfect Match

Heard a track you love but can’t license it? Use our AI-powered Similarity Search to find music with a similar feel. Just paste a YouTube link or upload a reference track, and our system will instantly return tracks from our library that match its tone, tempo, and emotion.

It’s a fast, reliable way to match vibes—and keep your workflow moving. Learn how to use Similarity Search in our quick tutorial.

Cue Sheet Helper: Reporting Made Easy

Filling out cue sheets by hand? Not anymore. Our Cue Sheet Helper automates the process, so you stay compliant with copyright regulations while ensuring artists and rights holders are properly credited.

This feature generates pre-populated cue sheets based on the tracks you've used—saving you time, reducing errors, and simplifying music reporting across any type of media project.
