Excellent point!manytone wrote:One thing to note here too guys about any of the soundfont sites listed above or any other free site you may find:
(Especially as I just now noticed that this is a sticky on KVR... and I am a Moderator here)
Although there are popular websites on the internet for soundfonts.... and many of them do contain legal and freely distributed files, I have discovered that there are a few files I have seen in at least one of these "free" popular soundfont places, in the past that were questionable as to the legality of redistribution. I would suggest ones takes the sounds from any free site (or anywhere for that matter) with a bit of knowledge about this. Not everything you may find for free on the net ....is truly meant to be a free product.

I've even noticed in regards to places like free-loops.com there are large quantities of loops that they just take off of other sites and redistribute on their own site. Then they turn around and sell the entire stash of free loops for a $10 "donation". I don't even understand how what they're doing there is legal.
Definitely don't take your chances on shady sites like that with questionable material.
100% of the free loops on my site are royalty free and can be used in commercial works. You just can't redistribute the loops. I only ask you give credit to LoopArtists.com if you use any of my loops in a song.
