Creator terms
Last updated November 4, 2026
These terms explain how selling your sounds on Loomple works: what you upload, how buyers may use it, and how and when you get paid. You accept them when you apply to become a creator.
Upload sounds that are 100% yours and earn every time someone downloads them: 1 credit = $0.10 for you.
What you earn
| File type | Credits | You earn per download |
|---|---|---|
| Sample / loop (WAV) | 1 | $0.10 |
| Stem (each) | 1 | $0.10 |
| MIDI | 3 | $0.30 |
| Preset | 3 | $0.30 |
| One-shot | 1 | $0.05 |
You will see what each sample earns you in your creator dashboard.
What we accept
- Sounds made by you: recorded, played or designed from scratch.
- Synths and samplers legally licensed to you (nothing cracked).
- Factory presets only as a starting point, never as they are: modify them or start from an empty (init) patch.
- Your own recordings of instruments, vocals or foley, with permission from whoever is on them.
- Formats: WAV, stems, MIDI and presets.
What we don't accept
- Nothing made with AI: no generated audio (Suno, Udio and the like), no cloned voices, no AI-generated MIDI.
- Other people's samples: nothing from Splice, Loopmasters, other packs, songs or videos, even if you process or chop them.
- Factory presets or sounds as they are (unmodified).
- Sounds made with the banned plugins listed below.
- Pirated or unlicensed software.
- Content you already sell exclusively on another platform.

If you use a plugin that isn't listed here, check its licence or ask us before uploading.
Before uploading
- I made it myself, without AI.
- It doesn't contain samples from other packs or songs.
- I haven't used any banned plugin.
- Any factory presets I used are modified.
- I hold a legal licence for all my software.
We review every sample before publishing it. If it breaks these rules we remove it, and we may withhold the payments tied to it.
Your content
- You may only upload sounds you made yourself or hold every right to. No uncleared samples from other records, packs or libraries.
- You keep ownership of your sounds. By publishing them you allow Loomple to host, preview and license them to its subscribers.
- Your sounds must follow the rules above (what we accept, what we don't and which plugins are banned). Nothing made with AI.
- We review every sample before publishing it. Loomple may reject or remove any content that breaks these terms, and may withhold the payments tied to it.
How buyers may use your sounds
- Every sound is released under a royalty-free license: the buyer may use it in unlimited commercial and non-commercial productions and keeps 100% of the royalties from their music.
- Buyers may not resell, redistribute or sublicense your sounds as they are.
- A license already granted stays valid even if you later remove the sound.
How earnings work
- Each credit a buyer spends on your loops, SFX, stems, MIDI and presets earns you $0.10 (one-shots pay less, see below). A loop costs 1 credit and earns you $0.10; each of its stems sells on its own for 1 credit, and its MIDI for 3 credits.
- Each preset sells on its own for 3 credits and earns you 0.30. Presets are accepted for Serum 2, Serum, Vital, Sylenth1, Analog Lab, one patch per file, each with the plugin version it was made with and a recording of how it sounds; it must be your own patch.
- One-shots (single hits such as a kick or a snare) cost the buyer 1 credit and earn you $0.05 per download.
- Downloading your own sounds earns nothing and costs nothing.
- If these rates change, the new ones apply only to downloads made after the change, and you will be told beforehand. What you have already earned keeps the rate it was earned at.
Getting paid
- You receive your earnings through PayPal: it is the only payout method, so you need a PayPal account to get paid.
- Payouts go to the PayPal account you link on your Payouts page. You can request one whenever your available balance reaches $10.00, and it is sent on the following payday: payouts go out on Fridays, and anything requested by Thursday is sent that Friday.
- PayPal charges a payout fee (about 2%). It is taken from the amount sent, and you see an estimate before you confirm.
Changes to these terms
- We may update these terms. If a change affects what you earn or how you get paid, we will tell you before it applies.
