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.
You only need to formalize your license with Fairbeat when your track meets specific conditions:
Your sample used in a song distributed by a major record label
Surpasses 1 million cumulative streams across major DSPs
You receive a license record/number or agreement outlining the exact terms. This document can be shared with distributors, labels, or partners to confirm rights.
Until then, you can produce, release independently, and use Fairbeat sounds without clearing, but registering early can help avoid surprises down the road.
If you do register a track that requires clearance:
You can create and release music freely using Fairbeat samples without immediate clearance. Registration is only required once your track reaches major distribution or significant streaming milestones but doing it early keeps everything clear and protected from the start.
At Fairbeat, you control your creativity supported by a licensing system built for independent artists and professionals alike.
