IMPACT STUDIO — COMMERCIAL USE & PUBLISHER INFORMATION
Updated 1 October 2026
https://useimpactstudio.com/rights

MAKE SOUNDS FOR YOUR PRODUCTIONS
Impact Studio is licensed for commercial music and sound design. Under the
app and engine licence terms, you may incorporate sounds into trailer cues,
production music, master recordings, films, games, advertising and client work.

You may distribute and license those finished productions through publishers,
labels, distributors and clients. They do not need their own Impact Studio
licence merely to exploit the finished production. We charge no royalty per
sound or project and do not claim ownership of your compositions or recordings.
Redistributing sounds made with Impact Studio's AI or built-in content as a
sample pack, sound library or standalone sound collection remains prohibited.
Sounds built only from your own samples follow your rights in those samples.

THE SOUND ENGINE
Impact Studio uses Stable Audio 3 Medium. Stability's published framework
permits qualifying commercial use, including permitted fine-tunes, subject to
its conditions. The engine agreement included with the app applies:
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-optimized/blob/da6edc54ddba10bfd79a077102ded687f80e882b/LICENSE.md
Model information: https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-medium

Commercial permission and warranties are separate. The licence does not promise
unique outputs, exclusive ownership, copyright protection or freedom from every
third-party claim. Impact Studio does not provide an infringement indemnity.
Stability's separately advertised Enterprise protection is not included.

YOUR RECORDINGS & YOUR WORKFLOW
Use inputs you own or have permission to use for the intended operation. A
sample-use licence may not also cover AI training or Reconstruction. Existing
source rights still matter after processing. Keep permissions with the project
and follow your publisher's or client's policy on AI-generated material.
Generation and audio processing stay on your Mac.

EXPORT-ORIGIN RECORDS
The provenance update includes signed origin records, identifying known AI
involvement, model/app versions where available, and an export identifier.
WAV, FLAC and MP3 use C2PA Content Credentials. AIFF uses a signed annotation.
The marking does not alter audio samples. Batch exports include a report for
each audio file. A free local checker requires no Impact Studio licence:

Included from Impact Studio 1.1.1. Earlier exports are not retroactively marked.

Verification checks signature and file integrity. Signing uses a key unique
to the local installation, not a centrally certified publisher identity or
trusted timestamp. Metadata can be removed or invalidated by editing. Signal
watermarking is not applied. A missing mark does not establish human authorship.
Origin records document the workflow; they do not certify copyright clearance
or complete Article 50 compliance.

PRE-TRAINING INFORMATION
Stability reports licensed AudioSparx and Freesound CC0/BY/Sampling+ recordings:
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-medium#training-dataset
https://info.stability.ai/attributions

CC Sampling+ retains attribution and advertising restrictions. Its presence
in pre-training does not itself establish that every output inherits them;
a model licence also does not waive third-party rights. The provider's sources
are not an independent Impact Studio audit of every uploader or each output.

FOR YOUR DELIVERY
Share the licence summary and export-origin record with your publisher, and
keep input permissions with the project. Your publishing/client agreement
continues to govern its acceptance requirements.
