    I love sample based music, but I don't understand those producers or beat-makers who are upset about what they called: "sample snitching". I mean, if you use the work of others and put it out as yours but re-imagined, you cannot be mad that others recognize a sample of iconic or hidden gem.
    I think that's contradictory with the idea that music should be free to enjoy and re-interpret. Long life to plunderphonics and hip hop music

    According to copyright laws around the world, sampling without permission is stealing. While fair use provides some exemptions, I can't see that being applicable here. Many famous (and rich) musicians have been successfully sued for "stealing" other people's work. In fact music, has probably the most widespread and successfully litigated for copyright infringement than anything else that comes to mind. At the end of the day, the key word is rich. If you are rich, you are worth suing. If you are not rich, like most of us, you've got nothing to worry about - sample and create away

    Stop saying you are a crappy harmonica player. Music is for everyone. You play it. It makes music. This ain’t a completion. Let’s get away from the counterproductive idea that people need to be virtuosos in order to play something worthwhile. Soon an AI will play anything perfectly and it will be the human imperfections that makes music breathe.
    You good.

    If you have never created something with an instrument or vocals that is desirable to be sampled then you will think of it as creating. If you write a song and do the vocals or instrumental and someone samples it and doesn't credit you or even ask permission, you will definitely understand why it's stealing. Thirty years ago I stole a sample from an old record and made a hit. That same year someone sampled my a cappella without my permission and made a hit. I've understood the answer to your question ever since.

      Indeed, sampling then release without clearance is stealing.

      I think they all can get the sample seeking job done, Tracklib wins at its record sample clearance.

    There seems to be some super smart folk in the comments (as per!) but I want to introduce visuals into my live performance. I won’t bore you with the detail but what is the general law in the UK around use of archival footage, even borrowed from already existing CZcams videos and projecting them in a public/performance space? IM NOT talking about projecting Avengers: Assemble but historical / pathe / news footage ? Any advice welcome (unless you call me derivative or cliche 😅)

      They're just more versatile than loops, but the most important thing to me is if it fix the problem (fits the music).

    That was a thoughtful video but let me push back.A true hiphop producer is a dj first and foremost.Check out Kool Herc and you will understand hip hop’s nature more.Also,in the sixties and early seventies,school boards were massively cutting in music and arts but it led to deejaying ,graffiti,b-boying and ultimately rapping.A culture was born of finding breaks of funk records and extending them.Eventually dj’s who wanted to be original,we’re digging in other genres and found great breaks and introduced an urban and impoverished audience to other music like rock and early new wave.Marley Marl was a pioneer when he discovered that he could use a sampler to cut up his favorite break and play and sequence the break differently and it led to an evolution of sample based hiphop.At first,most thought that it was a fad but got even more popular and led to grey areas.It’s street culture but the capitalist vultures wanted to make money out of it. I’m all for the original artists being compensated for their work but more often than not,they sign their publishing away to companies like Tracklib for pennies on the dollar.And yet,most artists won’t see money even if samples clear.It’s funny how no one mentions how the whole record industry operates,they’re not shady,they’re not thieves blah blah.Clyde Stubberfield was one of the greatest drummers in history but he never saw a penny because he was paid by session with copyrights going to ,maybe James Brown’s estate but more likely,to industry people who have no artistic creativity whatsoever.
    That said Tracklib does have a lot to offer,I don’t deny that.What I’m saying is there should have been better mechanisms to clear samples in a fair way and that money goes to the original artists like fair use but sharing royalties directly to the artist.It’s just so annoying to have to deal the simplistic argument that sampling is theft with no context and knowledge of how hiphop culture was born.
    It’s not about being an average musician,but being a great creative artist.You can also sample what you play 😅.I wish that I could be an average keyboard player though😂😂😂.

    All good maestro nation n teleportation$*$ live remix and sampling on the fly is best way to keep live audience curious but I wouldnt sell any obvious loops from a one hit wonder?😮 The old blues musicians got ripped off while whitey made a killing off their ruffs and theyll take it how ever they can but we now have amazing gear and we don't even the labels or expensive recording studios. Just good brains ,🧠

  • @BlackburnBigdragon

    My opinion, and the way I handle sampling of existing music is pretty simple. If the sample is recognizable, and not altered, then it's stealing. I really don't like it when people just record a part of a song and use it as a loop, or for the worst offenders, just lift the chorus from a popular song and use that as a hook for theirs. If it's recognizable, it's stealing in my opinion. However, if you make a sample and throw it into an audio editor and completely change it from it's original sound, then, essentially, you're creating a new instrument. You're doing something more creative with it rather than just... looping it. Snip out the individual sounds and re-order them to make something new that you can use as a loop. Add effects to each thing that you snip apart, to really mangle up that sound and give yourself something new and untraceable to the original. Then again, I'm an industrial music guy. Sampling is part of my toolkit for creating noises and sounds. It seems that a LOT of loop based music makers just like to stick something in their songs to make people say, "Hey! I remember that song!" in order to get the listeners to associate their music with the original in some way. "If that old song was good than this song is good." That's always been my problem with this type of sampling. I go out of my way to make something REALLY unique and new but "Unique and New" is something that's not popular in a lot of music styles that people listen to, sadly.

    If money is being made they will come for it and they deserve it. You are not entitled.
    I only use my own samples or stuff I am permitted to.
    If you are a person who only makes remixes you are NOT a musician. You are an editor.
    Without permission you are stealing. Regardless of legal considerations or personal "beliefs".

    I don’t think sampling is stealing, I disagree with our copyright laws. These bands that are being sampled were never going to make a rap song out of their song, so why do they care if somebody else does?? The Turtles weren’t going to make a rap song!
