Nobody, unless they also purchased the same sample product brand new. Only the ORIGINAL PURCHASER of the product has the right to use the sounds commercially. This means that you CANNOT SELL or give the sounds to anyone else. If you do, and they use the sounds within a commercial release, they will have to pay royalties to SOTA Sounds for using the sounds. ​ All of this information is covered in depth in our License Agreement.

In general, you may use the sounds in combination with other sounds within your musical compositions. Simply load the sounds into your DAW of preference and start making music with them. You may release any compositions commercially without payment of any further fees or royalties for such usage.

The term royalty-free refers to the license for all of our products, which allows you to use all loops, samples, synth patches and sampler instruments etc. in your productions, without having to pay any share of your earnings to SOTA Sounds.

Download and Install WinZip from http://www.winzip.com. There are also other free and commercial (paid-for) apps for unzipping your content. Please note that Mac OSX and Windows 8 natively support unzipping files, so there is no need to install any new applications. Copy the Zip file to the location on your hard drive you wish the Sample pack to be. On PC right click and use the Winzip Extract to here tab. On Mac Just Double Click the Zip file.

Some users are reporting issues with our resources not working or appearing in Ableton, particularly those ending in .adg. This often happens after unzipping when it wrongly converts the file to a .txt file. We have a few suggestions to fix this. Firstly, make sure you are unzipping the file correctly using similar software or processes recommended above. Most software should work, but these sometimes alter the file into the wrong format, so try an alternative and see if the problem remains. Next, make sure the file ends in .adg rather than .txt - you might need to change this manually by renaming the file. Finally, place the file in the correct place in your user library as stated under the installation instructions of each resource - you might need to leave Ableton open temporarily so it can reindex your library. Providing you do all this and have all the required software for each resource, everything should hopefully work as intended.

You don’t have to download every format. Where different format options are available each format is supplied in a different zip file. Just download the zips you need.

All of our libraries are supplied as industry-standard 24-bit Wavs. We also sell a range of synth presets and software exclusive resources. Our sounds are designed to be as versatile as possible to allow them to be used as quickly and creatively as possible. All format information is contained in the ‘Product Information’ box on each product page.

Once you order any of our resources you should receive a link via email where you can download it. Sometimes this ends up in the junk folder. Alternatively, log in to our site using the email you bought it with and check the orders tab to find a link to download.

Yes, it does. Our aim with this collection is to provide the biggest and best quality collection of Acapellas out there, helping people to focus on making music, rather than wasting time searching for decent vocals. We are committed to: - Consistently updating this bundle with new Acapellas - Improving the organizational structure of the pack to help you with workflow - Removing any duplicates or poor-quality samples that occasionally slip under the radar when dealing with 7,000 different files.

Unfortunately due to the nature of the samples involved, these are not royalty free. Our license terms for the Acapellas in this bundle state that these are strictly for personal use & non commercial projects only. If you wish to release or commercially distribute music that incorporates any of the acapellas in these packs, you must seek permission from the original copyright holder(s), which may include the artist(s), label(s), and/or publisher(s). We do not provide sample clearance services, and it is your responsibility to handle this process.

These files are audio samples, so should work with any DAW, or software capable of utilising audio.

- 7,000 + Acapellas - Mixture of Studio Quality & DIY - Organised By Artist, Track Name, KEY & BPM. - Lifetime Updates (this bundle constantly grows).

One of the main strengths of this bundle lies in its versatility. While it was original intended for electronic music, it features a variety of Acapellas covering everything from hip hop, pop, disco, funk, and plenty more.

After completing the form, you will receive an info document with a link to a private Google Drive which hosts the bundle. Simply request access to the file with the email you used and access will be granted within 24hrs, though this approval process typically happens much sooner. Then simply download the full folder from Google Drive as usual.

We are confident you will love our course and make progress upon completing it. If, however, you do finish the course feeling unsatisfied, then we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee in those circumstances.

All you need is a computer/laptop and a copy of Ableton Live. 90-day free trials are available for Ableton, but we would recommend making that initial investment on the upgrade to keep your music-making options open.
