ccMixter: Remixable Music Library

ccMixter is a website that hosts remixable music and sounds that people can use to create new mixes and compositions. It has a large library of samples, loops, acapellas, and more that are free to use under Creative Commons licenses.

What is CcMixter?

ccMixter is an online community for musicians and DJs to share samples, acapellas, loops, and other audio content that can be remixed and reused in new compositions. It was launched in 2004 with the goal of promoting remix culture and Creative Commons licensing.

The ccMixter library contains over 30,000 files spanning many genres like pop, rock, jazz, electronic, and more. These samples, loops, acapellas, mini-performances, and sounds effects are released under licenses like CC BY, CC BY-NC, or CC BY-SA, allowing others to reuse the content in their own creative works.

In addition to hosting remixable audio content, ccMixter facilitates collaborations between musicians. Artists can post samples and stems from their tracks for others to remix. There is also a requests section where musicians can ask for specific acapellas, isolated backing tracks, or other content to remix. An active community of over 8,500 members provides feedback, commentary, and encouragement on each other's remix projects.

Some key features and content on ccMixter includes:

• High-quality loops, one-shots, acapellas, and mini performances
• Stems and project files for remixing entire songs
• Creative Commons licensing options like BY, BY-NC, and BY-SA
• Music discovery tools like search, tags, and playlists
• Artist profiles and upload tools
• Forums and commentary for remix projects

With its large openly-licensed audio content library and active community of remix artists, ccMixter has become a valuable resource for amateur and professional musicians looking to legally reuse samples or collaborate on creative remix projects.
