I made my first animated video for a KickStarter Project and I needed some sound.

I thought I would be fine when I went to CTMixter and found a source of creative commons music for commercial use.

But I read the terms and it said it cannot be used for promoting something, which seems quite odd for a commercial license

Then it says that one can't use the sound as is- which also seemed odd- it seems to be saying that if I use any of the sound resources I have to change them up.

So I wrote to the artists to request permission and now I am left wondering if I will ever hear back or look for something else.

Have I interpreted the terms correctly?

Hi Mackenzie,

Can you please link us to the specific piece of music that you were wanting
to use? It's hard to tell if they (1) are using a more limited licence (CC
BY-ND or CC Sampling perhaps?) or (2) have given you broad legal
permissions but are then asking you to not exercise them all.

Cheers,
