License a Track for Remixing

The situation: You’ve produced a track and want the FreeMix community to remix it. You want credit, and you’d like a cut if anyone sells their remix commercially.

  1. Upload your track with stems. Sharing stems makes it much easier for remixers to work with your material — they can isolate the parts they want. See Uploading Tracks for the full upload walkthrough.

  2. Choose FM:Remix as your license tier. This gives others permission to remix, sample, and create derivative works, including for commercial release.

  3. Add the Credit modifier. This requires anyone who remixes your track to credit you in their work.

  4. Set a Royalty modifier (optional). If you want to earn a percentage of commercial sales of remixes, set a royalty between 1–50%. A common starting point is 10–15%.

  5. Consider ShareAlike (optional). If you want remixes of your track to also carry a FreeMix license — keeping derivatives in the ecosystem — add the ShareAlike modifier.

  6. Your final license: Something like FM:Remix · Credit · Royalty(15%) · ShareAlike — or whatever combination fits your goals.

  7. Publish and share. Cross-post to Bluesky to let your followers know your track is available for remixing.

The Result

Section titled “The Result”

Your license string is FM:Remix · Credit · Royalty(15%) · ShareAlike. This means:

  • Anyone can remix your track
  • They must credit you
  • You get 15% of any commercial sales of their remix
  • Their remix must also carry a FreeMix license
