FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What exactly am I purchasing?
When you purchase a Sampling CD-ROM (or downloading mp3 samples ) from Fab Tranzer , you are NOT obtaining OWNERSHIP of thesound samples - you are in fact purchasing a LICENSE to use the sound samples within your musical compositions, whether or not your compositions are released commercially. The original producer of the sound samples, Fab Tranzer will always retain OWNERSHIP of the sound samples.

How can I use the sound samples?
You may use the sound samples in combination with other sounds within your musical compositions. You may release such compositions commercially, without payment of any further fees or royalties for such usage. For example, if you are the original purchaser of a Samples CD-ROM (or you download sound samples from this site), and you use the sound samples from it to create the soundtrack of a television commercial or a track on a music CD; regardless of how many CDs are sold or how many times the television commercial is broadcast, you would never have to pay the producer of the sound samples any additional royalties or license fees, because you already purchased a license to use the sound samples commercially.

What can't I use the sounds for?
You cannot use the sounds in isolation (i.e. when they are not used within musical compositions) as part of a commercially released project. For example, you cannot use the sounds to make another Samples CD , or include them as individual sound samples on a multimedia CD, gaming machine, or toy, that is commercially distributed. You cannot upload or download the sound samples to any database or server, unless they are used in a musical composition (in combination with other sounds) created by you. Most producers require a separate written license (which is not always available) to use their sound samples to make 'library music' (also known as ‘music libraries’ or 'production libraries'). The exception to this restriction is 'multi-sampled instruments', where users play all of the notes (for example, a multi-sampled piano library).

Who else can use the sounds on the CD that I have purchased?
Nobody, unless they also purchased the same Sample CD or downloaded the same sound sample. Only the ORIGINAL PURCHASER has the right to use the sound samples. This means you CANNOT SELL or give the sounds to anyone else. If you do, and they use the sounds within a commercial release, they, or anyone associated with the distribution of the music, may face legal action from the producer of the sounds. Many of these cases have resulted in multi-million dollar awards to the producer, and ruined the reputation and future job prospects of the composer. It is simply not worth using the sounds 'illegally'.

Do I have to credit the use of the sounds on my CD sleeve, etc?
In most cases this is not required, but is always appreciated (you would credit any musician that played on your track, wouldn't you?). As always, it is important to read the license that comes with your product to determine usage.
