Free Remix Sets Legal Use?

zenstar

Hi everyone, I downloaded the free remix sets found on the NI website (can't post link bc I'm new).

My goal is to make simple tracks for use on workout videos that I will post on Youtube.

Is this allowed? I can't find this information anywhere!

Thanks for any advice,

Hi Zenstar,

perhaps this helps:

3.7 In case a sound library is part of the purchased Product the following Sound License Agreement shall apply in addition to the EULA:

The provided samples, instruments and presets can be used for commercial or non-commercial music and audio productions without the prior permission from Native Instruments under the terms of this Sound License Agreement. The usage of this Product (in particular samples, instruments and presets) for the creation of a sound library or as a sound library for any kind of synthesizer, virtual instrument, sample library, sample-based product or other musical instrument is strictly prohibited. Individual samples, sound sets or audio loops may not be distributed (commercially or otherwise) standalone. Furthermore these samples, sound sets or audio may not be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound libraries or sound effects.

Stay creative!

Thanks so much - I could not find the legal information on the page and this helps. I also fed it into ChatGPT and asked if I can sell a track using these samples.

Here is the reply:

According to the Sound License Agreement mentioned, you are allowed to use the provided samples, instruments, and presets for both commercial and non-commercial music and audio productions without the need for prior permission from Native Instruments. Therefore, you can use these sounds in the song you are making. However, it's important to comply with the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement, and you should avoid using them to create a standalone sound library or redistributing them as individual samples. Always review and adhere to the specific terms of the agreement to ensure proper usage.

Thanks again!

Chatgpt did a pretty good job of giving a decent answer. Although since it obviously looked the information up, it seems like it should have given the link to NI user agreement as well?

ChatGPT doesn't give me external links for where it grabs info from:

Me: Why didn't you give me the link to the page on NI that has the user agreement?

I don't have the capability to provide specific URLs or direct links to external websites, including Native Instruments' user agreement pages. If you need to access the user agreement for a Native Instruments product, you should visit the official Native Instruments website and navigate to the support, legal, or terms and conditions section. Alternatively, you can contact Native Instruments' customer support for assistance in obtaining the relevant information.
