Made from scratch
We built every sound with synthesis, the same way classic drum machines make theirs. No sounds were taken from records or other sample packs, so there is nothing to clear and no hidden licence: put them in beats you sell, released songs, games and videos.
Tip: the 808s are tuned, so load them into a sampler, map them across the keyboard and play your bass line in key. Find the key of your song with the BPM and key finder.
Can I use them commercially?
Yes. Everything in this pack is released under CC0, which means public domain. Use it in YouTube videos, client work, games, apps, released music and anything you sell. You don't have to credit us, though a link back is always appreciated. We made every file ourselves, so there is nothing to clear.
