What am I able to do with these samples?
You have purchased a non-exclusive license to utilize the samples in your original sound recordings and musical compositions. Here’s what you can do:
Independent Releases: You can sell beats created using these samples independently without needing to clear the samples. This includes uploading finished beats to platforms like Beatstars, YouTube, and SoundCloud, and keeping 100% of the profits from such releases.
Public Performance and Distribution: You can publicly perform, reproduce, distribute, and sell your new works containing the samples, including physical copies, digital downloads, and streaming, up to 10 million streams for independent releases.
At what point would I need to clear a sample with the sample creator?
Royalty-Free Samples: Drum loop samples and one-shot samples in this pack are royalty-free.
Major Releases: Clearance is required for compositions used in major label releases or large independent releases where streams exceed ten million. This involves splitting producer royalties and publishing with the sample creator, as well as providing co-production credit and producer fees, typically handled by the releasing label.
What splits can I expect on a major label clearance?
For transparency, here are the royalty splits and terms for sample usage in major label releases:
Samples under 10 seconds:
10% publisher's share
0.5% producer royalty
Samples between 10 and 30 seconds:
15% publisher's share
0.75% producer royalty
Samples over 30 seconds:

1.5% producer royalty
