This week, we welcome back Haterade for a quick video looking at Copyright in Music.
If you’re looking to sample or remix another tune, Noah lets you know the do’s and don’ts, what your options are, and what you can ‘take’ (within reason) to help you on your production journey.
With that DnB takeover event coming soon, what’s your opinion on sampling widely sampled drum breaks like the Amen break? You can even “legally” buy it in sample packs. Asking for a friend
Will do! I just think it’s interesting how some drum breaks (Amen, Funky Drummer, etc.) have been sampled and resampled thousands of times without clearance, yet they’ve become pivotal in the development of new genres like DnB and Hip Hop. Looking forward to the SA DnB sample pack!
Resampling ( when done right ) is definitely an Art Form on it’s own IMO, it’s still going on in many music genres I believe. But yes, that definitely paved the road to many distinctive and very influential music genres for sure.
“Art Form” because of the “Crate Digging” passion & search time involved, picking up that golden found sound and isolating that cool snippet of audio with basic tools and recording gears… And the results were so good
And here we are with AI and Stems Separation available to everyone, what a strange era, not sure it’s making the music better TBH, the tools are nice and incredible IMO, it’s the mindset around it and the way it’s used that’s maybe not quite right. Leading to new copyright claims and many questions as well.
But that’s another topic on it’s own
Anyway, just to say that the sampling pioneers were true geniuses in their time
