Last updated: 9 November 2026. A straightforward summary of how you can use sample packs, loops, one-shots and other digital audio purchased or downloaded from Underground Talent.
Using samples in your own music
Unless a particular product clearly states different terms before you obtain it, Underground Talent sample packs are provided on a non-exclusive, royalty-free basis for incorporation into original musical works. This includes releasing and monetising music containing the sounds, such as tracks, DJ productions, soundtracks and commissioned music.
You may edit, tune, stretch, mix, layer, sequence and otherwise process the sounds in your compositions. “Royalty-free” means you do not owe us a separate royalty simply for incorporating licensed samples into your own music. It does not mean that copyright or all restrictions disappear.
What is not permitted
- Redistributing, uploading, sharing or reselling the original audio files or ZIP archives, whether separately or as another sample pack.
- Publishing the raw sounds as a standalone sound-effect library, sound bank, preset collection or similar product that substitutes for the original purchase.
- Claiming exclusive ownership of an original source sample or attempting to prevent another licensed customer from using it.
- Giving another person the downloadable sample files as a substitute for their own licence.
Your music remains yours
You keep your rights in the original music you create. The original audio recordings and associated artwork remain owned by Underground Talent or the relevant creators/licensors. A sample licence gives you permission to use the sounds under the applicable terms; it does not transfer ownership of the source recordings.
Specific product licences
Some collections contain a separate licence or README file. Please check the licence supplied with that particular product and any specific restrictions clearly disclosed on its product page. If you discover a conflict between these general explanations and a pack-specific licence, contact us so we can clarify it. These terms do not reduce statutory consumer rights or retrospectively change a completed purchase.
PERX and other software
PERX is software, not a sample-pack archive. Software installation, activation, supported systems, redistribution and use are governed by its own applicable product terms or end-user licence. Do not assume the permission to use sample sounds is permission to copy or redistribute the instrument itself. PERX is currently sold as an Early Access product; check the current product page and installer requirements before purchasing.
Free products and previews
“Free” refers to the purchase price, not to a transfer of copyright. Unless a free pack clearly states different terms, the same restrictions on redistribution of the source files apply. Audio previews on our product pages are for listening and evaluation, not for building a replacement sample library.
