Overview of Tracklib's beats sample library

As a subsection to the Hip-Hop/Rap samples Tracklib has to offer, Beats provides you with instrumental beats samples. Individual samples by hip-hop producers and bespoke sample pack styled songs to dig into. If you're into Roland's 'Heritage' Beat Maker Sample Pack by Lightfoot, we're sure you're also going to find gems in here… That spans far beyond classic hip-hop loops. These beats and samples also boast the right collection for house styles.

Exploring the Tracklib Beats Sample Library

Whether you’re looking for authentic-sounding drum samples or specific chord progressions, the best way forward is to use the filters on top of all the instrumental beats samples. There you can filter the audio loops and individual samples based on song keys, BPM, release year, region, and even track types: these include songs with multitracks for stems like isolated drum samples and vocal samples.

Clearing samples for legal use

By sampling from this collection, there’s no need to worry about sample clearance. Unlike royalty-free sample packs, Tracklib provides royalty-fair samples. This makes sample clearance easy, affordable, and accessible to any type of producer. Not sure how to proceed when your beat is done?

Tips for selecting and using beats samples effectively

Life is expensive. So here’s some free beatmaker advice: use Tracklib’s Beat Player to try out samples even before you download any songs or multitracks. That way, you can play around with beats even before you open up your DAW (digital audio workstation) of choice.
