Frequently asked questions
Are these really free?
Yes. Every pack is free to download - no trial, no watermark, no locked sounds. If one helps your music, you can leave a tip on Ko-fi, but you never have to.
Can I use the sounds in songs I release or sell?
Yes. Everything here is royalty-free: use it in releases, beats you sell or lease, YouTube videos, streams, games and client work, with no credit needed. The only thing you can't do is resell or give away the packs themselves as your own sample pack.
Why do the downloads go through Ko-fi?
Ko-fi hosts the files and delivers them to you. Press Get now on the pack's page and Ko-fi sends you the download - it's also where people who want to support Swara Sound can leave a tip.
Where do the sounds come from?
Every drum, 808, chord and texture was synthesised from scratch by the same engine that powers our free Beat Maker, and the background music was made with the Swara Sound engine - no samples from other packs, so there's nothing to clear.
Can I use the background music on YouTube?
Yes - in monetised videos too. The tracks are royalty-free and we don't register them with Content ID, so they won't trigger claims from us. No credit needed.
Will there be more packs?
Yes - new kits and packs are added here as we make them. Follow Swara Sound on Ko-fi to hear when the next one lands.
