Sample with receipts.

Every Selekt catalog sound has a public verification record showing its named source, exact license, and clearance-screening path. Open-upload and archive material is fingerprint-screened; qualifying public-domain collections are verified through source authority and publication-date eligibility. The record is cryptographically signed and hash-chained, so anyone can verify it with no account. Your download carries that proof, and your library keeps the certificate with the sound.

How Selekt compares

What is Selekt?

Selekt is a catalog of cleared samples and stems — every file is public domain or CC0, sourced from named archives and fingerprint-screened against commercial recordings before it's listed — paired with browser tools to chop, separate, and recombine them. Every download includes a license certificate naming the exact source and license, so you keep documentation, not just a promise. Free to start, no account needed to browse.

Who Selekt is for

Selekt is for producers, beatmakers, and composers who need source material they can legally release — on streaming, in client work, in sync and video — without chasing clearance or paying per-use royalties. It's for people who want the character of real recordings with the safety of documented provenance.

What you can do with Selekt

Flip cleared public-domain and CC0 samples into beats you can actually release.
Isolate stems — vocals, drums, bass, and more — from cleared recordings for remixes and edits.
Source royalty-free audio for sync, video, podcasts, and client work, each with a license certificate.
Combine catalog samples with your own uploads into one creation whose certificate covers the whole blend.

* What “cleared” means. Every sample starts from material that's already free to use:

Public domain — copyright has expired or never applied, so the work belongs to everyone.
CC0 — the creator waived all rights, effectively placing the work in the public domain.
CC-BY — the creator allows commercial use as long as you credit them (your certificate shows who and how).

Every catalog sound must then pass the clearance screen appropriate to its source. Open-upload and archive material is checked by audio fingerprinting before admission. Qualifying public-domain collections are verified through source authority and publication-date eligibility, because a documented public-domain recording does not need to be treated like an unknown upload. The certificate records the source, license, and screening path used. That is strong, verifiable evidence — not a legal guarantee; you remain responsible for confirming rights before commercial release. See our Terms.
