Are the six soundpools included with the purchase of Magix Music Maker 2016 licensed for commercial use? The soundpools are: 80s Dancing on my Own, Chillout Blue Laguna, Deep House En Movement, Hiphop My Territory, Rock Pop Reality, and Techno Strobe Light. And my follow up question, is there a way to check in the music program what songs are currently licensed?
Hi
. . . . Are the six soundpools included with the purchase of Magix Music Maker 2016 licensed for commercial use? . . . .
No - you must purchase the Pro licences for all soundpools used in commercial content from Catooh.
. . . . is there a way to check in the music program what songs are currently licensed? . . . .
In a nutshell the rules are for the default software licence:
a. Soundpools and collections - these are copyrighted and require the commercial licence for use
b. You should refrain from using the built in synthesizer melodies eg double click Revolta for example will put a melody on the timeline.
c. Drum synthesizers are the exception to copyright / licencing - they are too generic.
d. Playing the synthesizers (by external MIDI keyboard or using the Midi editor) with your own compositions and settings does not require a commercial licence.
