About Selekt Audio
The definitive platform for cleared, public domain samples
Selekt Audio is a curated catalog of cleared music samples built for producers, beatmakers, and composers. Every sample is sourced from CC0, public domain, or CC-BY contributors (Library of Congress, Citizen DJ, Freesound, Internet Archive, Musopen) with verified upstream licenses. Every sample is pre-analyzed by AI for key, BPM, genre, mood, and instrumentation. Every download includes a license certificate (PDF) showing source, license type, and any attribution required. Samples ingested from less-authoritative sources also get a fingerprint screening section on the certificate. Plus our free copyright-check tool screens any audio (including a finished mix) against an industry-standard database of 100M+ commercial recordings — built for commercial release.
Our Mission
We believe sampling should be accessible, legal, and creative. Selekt Audio eliminates the legal gray area of sampling by curating exclusively from public domain sources. No cease-and-desist letters. No surprise royalty claims. Just music, ready to flip.

AI-Powered Analysis

Producer Community
Challenges, a marketplace, and public profiles bring producers together around the art of sampling.
Built with AI
Selekt Audio's content pipeline processes every sample through multiple AI models: audio classification for genre and mood detection, pitch estimation for key analysis, beat tracking for BPM, neural network-based stem separation, and structural segmentation for section boundaries. The result is the most thoroughly analyzed sample library available.
Legal Clarity
All samples on Selekt Audio are sourced from recordings whose copyright has expired under U.S. law, placing them firmly in the public domain. We do not host copyrighted material, user-uploaded content of unknown provenance, or “royalty-free” samples with hidden restrictions. When we say cleared, we mean it.
