Good enough resources for sample packs. If the publisher of a sample pack states that the samples on the pack are ‘royalty-free’, it means that you do not have to pay any royalties to them or the people involved in creating the sample.
When people create samples or loops that are specifically designed for other people to use, they make them royalty-free so that you do not have to pay any royalties to the creator or enter into an additional written agreement with them. Depending on any restrictions in the terms of use of the sample library, they can also be used however the person downloading them wants.
This guide lists samples whose creators have given them away for free or for a small fee. Why would someone give samples away for free? Well, some producers just enjoy making them, or want to be generous with material they have produced for their own use, or just want to give back to the community of sound creators. Whatever their reason, it’s good news for you.
