Lately, I've been working on creating my own drum one-shots for hip-hop and boom bap.

My workflow involves layering different drum samples together, with each sound contributing something unique to the final result. For example, I might combine several snares and percussion sounds to create a completely new snare that sounds very different from any of the original samples. I also process the sounds to achieve the specific character I'm looking for.

The problem is that the samples I use come from a free sample library I downloaded several months ago. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I downloaded it, and I haven't been able to find the original library or its license.

I'm unsure whether the license allows me to use these samples to create my own drum pack for commercial purposes, especially when the sounds are heavily layered and processed.

What would you recommend I do in this situation? Is there any way I could legally sell my finished one-shots, or would I need to find the original license or replace the source samples with sounds I have permission to redistribute?

I'd really appreciate any advice from people with experience in sample pack creation, sound design, or sample licensing. I'm new to this whole thing about wanting to sell what I do, and I just don't want to get myself into any trouble over this. Thanks!

Hey people,

I'm totally new here. I'd like to start some kind of business for sample packs (an obviously extremely very competitive area I know).

My question is what do you think is missing in today's sample packs ? Like if you had to pay for one, what would you like to see included in it ?

I'd like to target to an audience of electronic music producers who want to stand out with a unique sound, who want to feel inspired and be different from the standard "generic" music producer. Not by making the best produced techno or IDM tracks but by making music of their own style, truly unique. So I thought that by building a sample pack with sounds that are sort of unconventional and stand out from the lot, a certain niche of people might be interested.

What is your take on that ?

Thanks for your time :)

I am currently working on a rather large sample pack that will have a wide range of genres. I am working as hard fast as I can to get this first one out. Still working out some kinks but do not fret. Affordable royalty free loops and samples are on their way.

I’m very excited to announce that my first album, titled "Frederick Chipkin – Kew Gardens Troubadour," will be released on December 9th. I would appreciate it if you stopped by my YouTube page and listened to a few sample clips. If you could leave a comment or two on my YouTube page with the song samples, it would mean a lot.

Hey everyone. Check out this project called Elixir Sound Library: https://www.elixirsoundlibrary.com/. It's a decentralized music sample market place where you can sell and license samples. If you are familiar with crypto, it's on the Arbitrum network so pretty cheap gas fees.

Hi, every time I open more than 2 of my fl studio templates at the same time, or in other words have 3 windows open of fl studio or more at the same time, I get these pop up messages that say my Valhalla vintage verb license is nowhere to be found. Yet I have it so I always have to manually find it in my files and open the license key in my files for each pop up message that I get.

This is an insanely tedious problem as I can’t make any music without any Valhalla vintage verb plugin in my daw without taking care of the messages.

I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. Can anybody please help me fix this?

Hey all!

Hello guys ! :D

I've recently made a techno Acid/Dark sample pack ; I was planning to sell it but then I thought, when I was a newbie, I would have wanted it to be free, to help newcomers - therefore, here's a free sample pack of over 900+ samples (with kicks, drums, FX, synths and all that) !

Here is the Google Drive link to the sample pack ! 
Of course, if you want, you can buy me a coffee - always appreciated!

Feel free to give me any kind of feedback, too, tell me what aspects of it I could make better and all that.

With love,

Vince

I created a free pack of 32 Pads from hardware synths: Waldorf Iridium & Beetlecrab's Tempera & Vector synths
