I thought I'd make a quick summary for anyone interested in using my tracks for their own projects.
Lo-Fi Rooms Albums
License: All Rights Reserved
Using any audio from the Lo-Fi Rooms project will result in an immediate content ID claim.
Singles / Mixes / Personal albums not related to "Lo-Fi Rooms"
License: CC 4.0 Attribution / Royalty-free
You are free to do whatever you want, even for commercial projects, as long as you credit me as the author of the chosen music. If you're planning on uploading your project on Newgrounds, you're not required to share revenue, though it would be nice.
Example 1: "Hi can I use your track for my awesome creation?"
Yeah, just credit me and we're fine.
Soundtrack albums / Video-game related music
License: CC 3.0 Attribution - Non-commercial - Share-alike / One-off payment - Royalty-free
You are free to use these tracks for your own projects, as long as you credit me as the author and you don't make money out of it. Furthermore, if you modify or remix upon these works, you have to use this same license. Again, if you're planning on uploading your project on Newgrounds, you're not required to share revenue, though it would be nice.
Example 1: "Hey I'm making this game/mod, can I use this?"
If you're planning on profiting from either its soundtrack or the game/mod, then you may NOT under any circumstance use those tracks.
Example 2: "Hey can I use this track for my cat hairball awareness student film?"
Again, we're all good if you're not planning on making any revenue from it and you credit me.
Game Audio Assets

Royalty-free. Unlimited use for both non-commercial and commercial projects. Crediting is required.
You're free to use these assets however you like. You pay them, you use them. Simple as that. Just please, don't claim them as your own nor resell them as they are.

Cover tracks
License: All Rights Reserved / I don't own jack
Don't use these tracks, period. I don't own the intellectual property belonging to the original content creator, nor I am able to monetize upon it. Neither should you.
Collaborations
License: Varies / Typically CC 3.0 (see above)
As a rule of thumb, since these tracks don't include just me, you may only use them for non-profit projects. Furthermore, you should credit me and whoever else is involved as authors.

If you still have any doubts or would like to share royalties or any other inquiry, feel free to shoot me a PM. Otherwise, it would be advisable to consult a lawyer.
Thanks,

So everything but stock tracks and covers, free to cover and post on NG. Cool. I currently don't sell anything anyway, haha.

Oh, you know, just an informative post, I suppose. :') You sell your, uh, passion for composing. There you go. Go get 'em, girl!
