No. You are free to use them in any remixes. It works the same as for session 
musicians that come in and play on a project using our samples.

Really, the whole idea of a one person, one-time license is to keep it 
simple. You got the gig, so of course it's no problem to use the sounds you 
have licensed.

I'm sure the impression some reading this thread would get is that the 
license is hopelessly complex and that we police the use of the samples like 
crazy, neither of which is true. We made the system we did in order to keep 
it as simple and easy as possible, so that we could concentrate on making new 
products and you can concentrate on making music.
