Question about using samples in commercial products

(1/3) > >>

wabe:
So lets say I have IPhone game which plays tracker tunes in the background of my game. However, these tracker songs uses ST-XX samples. Am I legally allowed to use these samples without saying a word to anybody? I believe not, and that is why I am here to ask this: Are there any completely free samples available, even for commercial use? I would really prefer small tracker samples like ST-XX. Thank you so much in advance!

Alpha C:
I doubt you'll get in trouble for using ST-xx samples. I think they're pretty much public domain now, be it officially or de facto :). I believe the Ultimate SoundTracker also went PD at some point.

wabe:
Thank you for posting. I still would not like to take the risk if it is not 100% sure. Do you happen to know any samples close to tracking that are free to use for every purpose?

Saga Musix:
How about creating some own samples with some (soft)synths?

I have been thinking of that, but then again, it is another time consuming learning process. I suppose I am free to use samples I create with freeware softsynths the way I want, no? Also, I have always loved the old school feeling of those samples you hear in amiga music. Can you suggest me any freeware softsynths for windows, or even better, tell me something about this process of making your own samples? It would be greatly appreciated :)
