Cymatics, a rare and Outstanding voice in the silence...
I stumbled upon their website whilst looking for some creative inspiration. Oh my God do they provide a lot of free tasters. Not only that but they seem to understand the simple and honest approach to music in that we all share in the bounty. By this I mean that they provide non-exclusive royalty licenses helping the users side step this minefield the music industry has created. Half the time the licenses of other products appear to allow you to use their samples in your music, but oh God help me if they should appear in the real world, because in tiny 2 point text, buried behind the walls of Zendacon, in the kingdom of Xanadu, you find out that you can be sued if you so much as allow anyone other than yourself to hear it. After all I should have known these things. This is definitely NOT the case with Cymatics, who are up front in telling you that once you have your paws on the samples, free of purchased, you can use them in everything you compose musically, for either personal or commercial output. There is one very reasonable exception, that you don't sell the sample or samples as a part of a pack, or claim them as your own. This Cymatics license is such a breath of fresh air in an industry that has become so restrictive. You can't help but feel worried that sometimes if you inadvertently fart on your record, a lawyer might claim ownership of said noise on behalf of their client. As for the samples I've heard so far, I am very impressed with them, and will definitely be back to get some more in due course. Oh yes, they also do awesome things for charity, so mucho kudos to them for that.
