fastpicker89 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 So I have finally completed an album, and I have incorporated Apple drum loops in the songs. Am I legally allowed to sell my songs even though they contain loops that I did not make? I can't find an answer anywhere. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yes, Apple Loops are royalty free. Here's what your software license agreement says: You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (Audio Content), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original music compositions or audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own music compositions or audio projects that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds.

Eriksimon Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 You can, no restrictions (except the obvious one), no royalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Sandvik Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Most loop collection licenses are like that, use them, make music and release the music, but do not collect the loops themselves and re-sell 'em. Kind of makes sense. But my loop license is more restricted, you are not allowed to make crappy music with the loops. PS: I'm thinking about extending this license with a sub-clause that the loops are not allowed to be used for nuclear reactor audio warning sounds.

Thanks for the help everyone. And I assure you that this is not a crappy album. In fact, I may have outdone myself. That's right; I'm hot sh**.

So I placed my hifi speakers outside and played Led Zeppelin vinyls as loud as I could. The village folks talked about this battle for days.
