Here are the answers to frequently asked questions about dos and don’ts for creating samples for Mubert:

• Don’t use someone else’s music or its fragments.
• Don’t use commercial sample libraries.
• Don’t use vst-instrument presets (synthesizers, samplers, romplers, etc.) if their licenses prohibit their commercial use (such as NI Kontakt). You can use them for a start but further on you will have to change the sound beyond recognition, so that it would be impossible to identify the timbre.
• You can use someone else’s samples with CC0 (Creative Commons 0, or Public Domain) license. You can find them on freesound.org and other similar websites.
• We do not recommend using your own samples or musical fragments that have been publicly used/made available elsewhere. Even if you are their proven author, a copyright verification request will still be generated automatically by fingerprinting systems (such as Content ID, Shazam, etc.), a complaint will be sent to the content creator who used your samples, and you will have to go through the proof of authorship procedure.
• You can use your own demos, provided that they have not been made publicly available.

By default, Mubert considers the copyright and exclusive right to be held by the user who uploaded the samples to the system. If a user other than the author uploads the samples, the names of the Mubert Studio registered accounts, which belong to the author and the owner of the sound record, respectively, should be entered into the Author and Exclusive tag fields.

Mubert automatically transcribes sounds into several tonalities and changes the tempo several values faster and slower than the original. The copyright and the exclusive rights to samples modified in this way remain with the performer.
