The first offerings that are made available in Tracklib's new series of Actually Vintage sample packs, are Ritmi Percussivi Vari (a rare collection of percussion instruments) and Ambienti Spazio-Temporali (archival loops and pads featuring ambient soundscapes). Both collections were recorded in Rome during the 1970s, unearthed by Sonor Music Editions, and both are now announced as the first-ever Actually Vintage royalty-free sample packs!

The Actually Vintage series is part of Tracklib Sounds. A complete royalty-free library—meaning Tracklib now offers both Songs to legally sample, and royalty-free Sounds to build with. A 360 solution for producers wanting to sample, no matter if you're looking for a simple 808 one-shot, a hard-hitting drum loop, or a 70s soul record to chop up.

"These truly vintage sample packs offer an authenticity that modern packs simply can’t replicate," says Lorenzo Fabrizi, co-founder of Sonor Music Editions, the Italian record label that collaborates with Tracklib to release the first batch of Actually Vintage packs. "The timeless sound and unique character of these artists' contributions make these packs stand out."

In 2021, The New York Times described Sonor Music Editions as a label that has 'resurrected Italian classics from the European library genre.' With Tracklib's new announcement, it's also all about resurrection. Old, authentic music gets resurrected into royalty-free sample packs for a new generation of music producers. By doing so, the latter group is supported in releasing music with samples, without the need for legal headaches. The former, original musicians and rightsholders, generate new revenue streams by the fair pro-rata model of Tracklib’s Sounds library. Everyone wins.
