Are these loops really free to use?

Yes. Every loop here is CC0, public domain, or CC-BY. All three permit commercial reuse without royalties; CC-BY asks for creator credit, and the certificate tells you exactly what attribution is required. Each download ships with a certificate naming the source so you have the receipt on file.

How are loops different from one-shots?

A loop is a phrase that repeats cleanly — a drum break, a bassline, a chord progression — so you can drop it in and build around it. A one-shot is a single hit or note. These pages are loops only; one-shots live in the Sound Lab and Drum Kit tools.

Can I chop, pitch, and rearrange these?

That is the whole idea. Because the source is cleared, you can chop a loop into one-shots, pitch it, time-stretch it, and combine it with your own parts or other catalog loops — and the certificate still covers the result. Nobody else is starting from this exact arrangement.

Where do these loops come from?

They are sourced from cleared CC0, public-domain, and CC-BY creators and archives, then screened against a copyright database and enriched (BPM, key, tags) before they reach a bucket. We assigned every loop its bucket ourselves, so a card lands here because it belongs — not because of a fuzzy tag match.

Loops

Cleared, royalty-free sample loops — drum, house, synth, vocal and more — with a license certificate per download

Selekt starts with rights, not hype: every catalog sound is cleared at its source and passes the screening path appropriate to its origin. You decide what earns a place in the record.

Every loop here is screened against 150 million commercial recordings, so nothing you build on has been flagged for copyright. Each one is also CC0, public domain, or CC-BY — chop, pitch, and rearrange it, stack it with your own parts or other catalog loops, and the receipt still covers the blend. Pick a bucket and dig — the loop nobody else has is the one you rework.

Loops you can actually flip

Most loop packs get bought thousands of times — the same eight bars end up in a thousand beats. These are different: they are cleared parts meant to be taken apart and recombined, not played straight. Chop a guitar loop into one-shots, layer a percussion loop under your own kit, re-sing a vocal phrase — the certificate follows the result, and the arrangement is yours alone.

* What “cleared” means. Every sample starts from material that's already free to use:

Public domain — copyright has expired or never applied, so the work belongs to everyone.
CC0 — the creator waived all rights, effectively placing the work in the public domain.
CC-BY — the creator allows commercial use as long as you credit them (your certificate shows who and how).

Every catalog sound must then pass the clearance screen appropriate to its source. Open-upload and archive material is checked by audio fingerprinting before admission. Qualifying public-domain collections are verified through source authority and publication-date eligibility, because a documented public-domain recording does not need to be treated like an unknown upload. The certificate records the source, license, and screening path used. That is strong, verifiable evidence — not a legal guarantee; you remain responsible for confirming rights before commercial release. See our Terms.
