The stems or files, other than the mix track or demo track, can be used in the creation of library music.
Can I use Big Fish Audio products to create a loop library or a virtual instrument?
No. Big Fish Audio loop libraries or the elements of loop libraries cannot be used to create other loop libraries or virtual instruments. Big Fish Audio Virtual Instruments cannot be used in the creation of any loop library or any other virtual instrument.
