    Hi to the forum,

    I know there is some "set wording" that we are to use to acknowledge that there is VSL samples used in a CD production, but I'm not sure which document that I am to find this in.

    Does anybody, on the offchance, know where this is found as I need to get this to the person managing the CD production by the end of today.

    Thanks heaps for any help here.

    Hi Steve,

    the "official" wording is mentioned in Chapter 7 of the "Terms of License" (the link is available on the bottom of each page of the VSL-website). It says:

    @Another User said:

    [...] You may use any of the Sounds in a commercial recording without paying any additional license fees. The sounds are guaranteed 100% copyright clean. However, the use of Vienna Instruments products requires a specific crediting for Vienna Symphonic Library in the liner notes of the music release: “Orchestral samples included in this recording from the Vienna Symphonic Library”. Screen credit for film and television use is not required, but highly appreciated. [...]

    But like Paul wrote: Any kind of credit is highly welcome. 😊

    Kind regards,

    Hi Paul and Dietz,

    thanks kindly for the reply and the help. I had only got Pauls response, and had conjured up a wording, then came on to the site to find that Dietz had some wording also.

    I had come up with:

    We would like to acknowledge that a large proportion of the Orchestral Virtual Instrument Libraries used in this recording come from the Vienna Symphonic Library based in Vienna, Austria.

    I am happy to use this, or the wording Dietz has given from the Terms of License text. The only reason I came up with that is that I have used a few other patches from different sample libraries, but most of them are from VSL's Vienna Instruments.

    If you are ok with me using my own, and not the actual wording, is there anything that is incorect or maybe some other way of saying it, or maybe some details need correcting - I would be happy for you to let me know.

    Thanks and best,

    I'd say the sentence you came up with is perfect and more than we could ask for. Thanks a lot!

    Hi Dietz,

    thanks for getting back to me on that. That's good to know that you are happy with that, and that is the wording we will use.

    thanks and best to you, both Paul and Dietz for the assistance with this,
