Copyright in Music

View Course

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.

Check it out!

Thanks for the hint :slight_smile:

Very, very important stuff. Thank you.

Welcome aboard on the forums ! :wink:

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 :wink:

Crate Digging from Vinyl Records or Tracklib could be something to do yes.

Crate Digging with Tracklib

Would advise to keep it legal as much as possible, especially when the purpose is to use samples in a Remix Competition :wink:

Also, I think SA might release a Sample Pack an also plugins presets packs for the DnB Takeover competition like they did for the others.

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 :wink: ) 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 :sunglasses:

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 :laughing: :wink:

Anyway, just to say that the sampling pioneers were true geniuses in their time :+1:
