    Ah ok, I didn't realise you were using third party libraries. You'll need to check with Rigid Audio for licencing questions as they're providing the sounds. I don't think the fact you're using Kontakt Player affects how you can use third party sounds.

    Kontakt player shouldn't time out, it's designed as a free player. Which library are you using ?

    So, you do not use Kontakt Player (it would not time out), but Kontakt (it timeouts if run as Demo).

    Hard to say, if Demo of Kontakt may be used commercially. Such a use might be excluded in EULA. But I guess it is not great deal, anyway.

    But for sure, you have to check the licences of manufacturers of libraries you use.

    Looks like Rigid Audio is shutting up shop, and there are bargains to be had. 39 products for £25. 😲

    I basically only need it for rigid, I've already taken eleven banks for free. But my budget does not allow me to have an expensive Kontakt. I can't afford anything that costs more than 10 bucks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. What if I manage to sell my beat in the future? (ー_ーゞ That's why I always filter everything to make sure it has the proper license.
