Music for monetized videos

I am a youtube Partner and I create time-lapse sculpting demonstrations on YouTube. My videos need music so I purched the full version of Music Maker MX.  My question is can I use this program to create original music for my YouTube videos if  they are monitized with ads? I don't plan on tryting to sell the actually song(s). They would only srever a subtle background sound. I already own MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 18 MX, so I trust the company in my decision to purchase Music Maker.

I am amost done with my next video and I'm looking forward to trying this out for the first time.

Hi

This subject has been covered many times before - see this post.

If you require more answers use the search box on the right - search for 'Selling music'

I'm not aware of the details of the agreement between Youtube and its "partners"...

However, if you are using any of the soundpools from version 17 or MX, and you are directly or indirectly receiving money through the use of your videos, you are required to purchase and hold a license to use the soundpools in that manner.  The license(s) can be purchased on CATOOH.com.  There is a link at the bottom of this page that will take you there.
