How to license samples

Whether you're a beatmaker, producer, or artist, our licensing system gives you flexibility and transparency so you can release music without legal hassle.

Simple, Transparent Sample Licensing

Fairbeat makes sample licensing easy to understand and use. Whether royalty-free or royalty-based, each sample includes clear terms that define how you can use it across songs, releases, and commercial projects.

Release with confidence

Every download carries the usage the sample maker chose, shown on the listing and recorded in your license. Release within that usage and the sample is cleared for it. A wider release can need a different usage, or a custom deal with the maker.

Sample makers set their own usages: the built-in Royalty free baseline, plus any number of royalty-based usages from 1-100%. The badge and heat dot you see while browsing come straight from those usages.

Submit a Custom Proposal

Coming soon

Need something tailored (e.g., label release terms, upfront fees, or advanced splits)? Custom proposals are coming: you will be able to negotiate different terms with a creator directly.

FOR EXAMPLE
Proposal to VelourDraft

"Hi, I'd like to license this sample for a major label release. I'm offering a $500 upfront fee plus 8% royalties on streaming revenue. The track is scheduled for release next month through [Label Name]."
