FAQ

How can I use the downloaded Demo Refills, Rex files and Sounds from your site within my music?

You can ONLY test and try the loops and sounds within your music composition, but you can NOT release such compositions commercially without buying a full license product. Also you can NOT use the sounds in isolation - for instance you can not use the sounds to make another sample library, or within a multimedia application.

Where can I buy the Equipped Music DVD libraries? Directly from you?

No, at this moment we have no possibility to handle direct sales -but feel free to use any of our suppliers around the world, most of them ship worldwide and can help you fast and efficiently. Go to sales.

When I buy an Equipped Music DVD disc, what am I actually buying?

When you purchase an Equipped Music DVD library, you are not obtaining ownership of the sounds - you are only purchasing a license to use the sounds within your musical compositions. Equipped Music will always remain the owner of the sounds on the discs.

When I buy a full DVD license, how can I use the sounds on the discs?

You may use the sounds in combination with other sounds within your musical compositions. You may also release such compositions commercially without payment or any further fees. For example, if you are the original purchaser of an Equipped Music DVD disc containing a drum loop and a music sample, and you use these sounds to create a radio commercial, simply by combining the drum loop with the music sample, and the advert was broadcast hundreds of times. You would still keep all the royalties that the advert earns you, because you already purchased a private license to use the sounds commercially. You can not use the sounds in isolation (i.e. when not within musical compositions) as part of a commercially released project for instance you can not use the sounds to make another sample library.

I’m about to release my song on a record which includes sounds from an Equipped Music product, do I need any clearance?

No (see above)

Do I have to pay any other fees if I use these samples on my record?

No, your original purchase of the DVD disc is your only license fee.

Can my colleagues or friends use these discs that I bought?

No, each person who used the sounds must have purchased their own personal copy (which licenses them to use the sounds). Anyone other than the original purchaser of the sounds, who uses the sounds, has done it illegally - risking legal action against both them and their clients!

Is it OK to loan the discs from friends or colleagues to check them out -and if I use them in my composition, then buy my own personal copy?

No, this effectively voids the license agreement -you can not compensate this breach by buying your personal copy afterwards. If this were to be the case a person could have every library on the market copied -but only have to pay for a disc when the person have managed to use sounds from a disc -so no sorry this is not accepted.

Can I offer the sounds on your discs to clients that I work with in my recording studio?

No, sorry, each person who uses the sounds (the creative person) has to be a licensed user, and must therefore also purchase a personal copy from Equipped Music.

Is it OK to sell the discs when I'm finished with the project that I used them within?

No, this is VERY IMPORTANT. Unlike your musical gear or even software, you can NOT give away or sell the discs used to someone else - you did NOT purchase the sounds, you ONLY purchased a license to use the sounds within your music, and the license you bought is not transferable to a third party.

Why do I get an error loading your Rex2 files?

If you are having problem loading the 24 Bit REX2 files within your music application, you must first download the latest "Rex Shared Library" file from Propeller heads - www.propellerheads.se - check under; Downloads - Miscellaneous updates. Do NOT forget to remove all older versions of the Rex Shared Library from your computer before installing the new Rex Shared Library.

I have converted the Rex2 files with the Sage Converter, but RMX can not load the files.

Make sure that you have installed the Rex Shared Library installer that comes with the Sage Converter before converting the Rex2 files.

What is the connection between Equipped Music and e-LAB?

In 2005 Equipped Music acquired all rights to e-LAB. Equipped Music & Publishing AB today owns all e-LAB sounds, software, trademarks, etc - but do NOT handle any sales, distribution or support of old e-LAB products. This technically means e-LAB as an independent company do no longer exists, but it could of course possibly appear in the future as a “sub label” under the Equipped Music flag.
