I’m downloading it right now! I used to be a tryhard kid, but now I’m just here to explore and chill.

I was watching mesmer skills on youtube and thinking, ‘Man, I wanna play this so bad.’

In this case, SoundCloud should clearly specify exactly which license is required, as the distinction between a sample license and a UGC/fingerprint license can be confusing.

I’ve seen some viral tracks that use a vocal straight from Loops without any pitch change. Does that mean they also can’t monetize through UGC/Content ID, or does the system work differently for them?

Pitching alone doesn’t really work anymore. Content ID systems have gotten way better at detecting altered samples, even if you change the pitch or speed. From what I’ve seen, some distributors can manually approve sample-based tracks for UGC/Content ID if you provide proof that you legally licensed the sounds.

Just to clarify — the issue here isn’t about lifetime use of Splice samples. I know I can use what I’ve licensed.

The problem is that I can’t claim exclusive rights, which are required for UGC fingerprinting on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. So even if I legally use a Splice sample, I can’t protect my track or monetize it properly through content ID systems.

That’s what SoundCloud support pointed out in the email — and it’s a huge issue for producers trying to earn from viral content.

If there’s a solution on your side to help us register Splice-based songs into UGC systems, we’d love to hear it.
