Most common question:

Q: Can I incorporate sound elements of the templates/project files into my own tracks/compositions, if I completely change the melodies and chord progressions?

A: Yes, this is possible, but you need to change the melodies and chord progressions more than 50% to the original template files.

You may not:

  • take the project files as they are and release them (on a record label or something similar) under your name
  • directly or indirectly license, sub-license, sell or resell the Item, or redistribute the work alone (even for free), or any of these things. 
  • Register the copyrights under yourself or a company

You may use it to:

  • learn music production tricks with our templates/project files designed for educational purposes
  • reverse engineer the music production process and use it as a foundation for your own productions
  • using the sounds, presets, samples partly in your own productions
  • using parts in your own tracks
  • using parts for non-profit videos
  • using files in a live or radio DJ set
  • incorporate sound elements of the templates/project files into your own tracks/compositions, if you completely change the melodies and chord progressions (you need to change the melodies and chord progressions more than 50% to the original template files – no shazam or other detecting services should be able to recognize any similarities to original PML work)
