A CLEARER PATH TO PUBLISH
Make good things.
Know what goes into them.
Useful resources start with original sources and honest context. Here’s how to read this catalogue and build safer habits into your creative process.
01 / ORIGINAL SOURCES
Go straight to the source.
Catalogue links point to vendor or project websites. A listing is a starting point, not an endorsement, affiliation, security audit, or promise that current terms have been verified.
Check the domain, the product name, and the license before downloading. Avoid cracked plugins, repackaged installers, and sample packs with no identifiable owner.
Recognise suspicious downloads →02 / UNDERSTAND THE LABEL
Cost is only part of the story.
- Free: recorded as accessible without a purchase. Usage rights still need checking.
- Freemium: free and paid options; limits may apply.
- Paid: a license or payment is required; a trial may be available.
- Education: eligibility and terms are set by the vendor.
- Varies / unknown: check the original source for the relevant product or plan.
03 / YOUR PROJECT, YOUR RECORDS
Save the terms with the sound.
Free access does not establish commercial-use permission. “Royalty-free” is not a blanket license. Check the exact file, pack, platform, intended use, attribution requirements, and redistribution rules.
Keep the source URL, creator, download date, license text, and required credit alongside your project. Resolve unclear permissions before publishing.
Use the licensing checklist →04 / KEEP IT IN CONTEXT
Listed doesn’t mean reverified.
Pricing, products, and licenses change. A recorded review month is historical catalogue metadata; it is not a guarantee that all terms are current. Entries without a date have no recorded review date.
We preserve useful catalogue context and make its limits visible. For decisions about a release or purchase, follow the official source and read the applicable terms.

A small toolkit with a small footprint.
No account, analytics, external fonts, or third-party scripts are required. Optional learning progress and creator checklists can be saved in this browser. My Studio saves collections, notes, and comparison choices when you edit them. That data stays on this device; clearing browser storage removes it. Export a My Studio backup to move your collections to another device; imports are processed locally. Reset controls affect their own feature only. Private browsing and storage restrictions may prevent saving. When Studio storage fails, export your changes from the current page before navigating away or reloading.
The Hip-Hop Hub offers optional on-device saving for lesson progress, a verse draft, and listening notes. Until enabled, these last only on the current page. Download the notebook as text before leaving to keep a copy. Its reset affects only the hip-hop notebook. External release and source links open provider sites with their own terms and privacy policies.
Audio starts only when you start the metronome. No microphone access or audio uploads are used. Calculators and educational reference tables do not measure or master an audio file.
