Crate digging in secondhand record stores is the tried and true og method. It’s actually a lot of fun. Make a day out of it. Otherwise you can find a lot of channels on UA-cam whose sole purpose is to find obscure and unknown music to upload. That’s a really good way to find some old underground shit. I suppose you could look for something really specific (use keywords) and scroll until you find a song with only like 12 views and sample that. I’ve done all three and it’s really up to you. All are fun ways to find new music to reinterpret in a way that hopefully won’t get you in trouble. Shoutout all my producers and DJs out there
I bought a beat from a producer and tried to upload it to United masters. This is a sample from el debarge. I spent so much money in this it was pretty much pointless
So you were uploading it to a site to have it mastered & they told you it had a copyright issue? Did they stop you before they would press it? I wonder if everyone has to run their stuff through music detection software
@@bloodcell6282 i found out the issue. i think the wording on my music cover didnt exactly match the artist and name of the song. i had too much wording so i had to go back and take it off
I make music for my self and friends is it OK to use samples from cds I bought I mean I don't uploud them to a store but am I allowed to upload them to UA-cam? If not it's not bad like I said I make music for privat use
I think there should be some type of “fair use” law with sampling. Me, I sample a lot of unknown 60s artist vinyls from the dollar bin and when I look into the artist, they are fucking dead. I wouldn’t mind paying the artist straight up but the label gets all of the money and probably doesn’t even go to the estate, if they have one.
@Christian Music Why be so toxic? You could've just given him the counter-argument and have left out the "also, dont be such an idiot, man" and "you should be ashamed of yourself".

@Me and My Girlfriend Are Rich Looking through your previous comments I can tell you come off like a scumbag. Record label companies steal billions of dollars from artists and pay them fractionally what their music is worth. Just because you may be right doesn’t mean you’re in the right. Get off your high horse before giving any advice bro.
@Me and My Girlfriend Are Rich The issue here is the money that family would be losing on the sample which is zero..... If nobody hears the sample and recognizes it nobody would go to the original song in the 1st fucking place...... The only thing your line of thinking does Is choke innovation in creativity Eventually making the industry stale And Unpalatable When there's no more small artists to steal creativity from You are essentially fucked
That's a bit of a grey area... I believe that an attorney would likely tell you no that's not allowed. However, if it TRULY is unrecognizable then no one would ever be able to tell that it's a sample, so it wouldn't technically matter
@@s.saint.claire.273 as long as ears work, you would be fine. I'm just saying if you take an existing piece of work, and change it around to the point where it's unrecognizable as it's original form then you shouldn't be able to be sued for it. Since it's no longer a copy of the original piece.
If I record someone farting in a microphone..... ....do I still need permission from copyright owner....??? XDDDDDDDDDD HAHAHHA I'M JUST MESSING AROUND HAHHAAAHHAHAHAHHA......!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't matter whether you're charging money or not. There are things that the business consider as good as money. One of those things is advertising. If they determine in court that you benefited in any way from that track without clearance then you would probably have to pay. There are a couple "authorities" on the matter like Deborah Mannis who is attached to Tracklib that have broken these things down on UA-cam. Just search her name and sample laws.
Copyrights last the lifetime of the artist, plus 70 years. So if the artist died in the 1980s, and it's now 2020, then you still have to wait another 30 years before using it.
I sample video game and anime OSTs for my beats. I doubt the developers would ever clear the samples for some unknown 16-year-old trap producer lol... I just post them to my YT channel and will never charge or earn money from them
Ngl bro I wish I could just pay a nigga and drop my mf songs, I could make the best song in the world with 3 sample chops and no one could ever hear it officially cause I can't get it cleared
It depends on the estate that owns the composition. That normally gets passed down to next of kin so that royalties can continue being paid out. Some old things are public domain, though, which are safe to use.
What if I use the sample-based virtual instruments? eg) Ample Sound Guitar seires, Toontrack Drum series, XLN Piano series. Can it be a problem as well?

Ok so i recently heard an interview of romeo antonio who worked with prince n bone thugs n all that, he made just about every beat for the 1st mo thugs album and krayzie bones tm1999 album,now if u listen to bones music especially back then like almost EVERY beat was sampled, same with easy e and nwa and anyone off the nwa branch tbh but ROMEO SAID they didnt clear 1 sample off the songs cause he said u have to invert the 4th chord and then u dont have to clear or pay for it and thats how they did it but he also played live instruments things like guitar i know for a fact he played live for them,but anyway how do i do this and get it to sound good, cus i looped a sample and the 4th loop (which was on the 4th chord) i inverted but u cn def tell the pitch is super off n it throws the beat off, how did they do this, how do i make it not sound so off?? Or does he mean u can just invert one instrument on that chord?? Irs confusing but im determined to find the answer before i go searching for his managers contact to get the info from himself which im sure id have to pay for
You probably misunderstood him. If he was replaying it he is doing that to skate the mechanical licences, and if he is changing something like the 4rh chord your saying, he is basically going to argue if sued that it's different from a strait replay so he doesnt have to play the publishing clearence either. Bottom line
I have got one *important* Question: Im a Producer and havent released Music yet because I am not sure about my Name and I need a *producer Tag* !! Now I had the Idea to use * "Aaaaand Snap ! The Job´s a Game" * from Mary Poppins. Am I aloud to do that ??? Probabaly not but idk cause its just so short
Thanks for the concise straight to the point explanation...but House music. I wonder the number of house music producers have actually cleared the samples they used 🤨🧐🤔
@@mantaanafm well it is from a song, just not one that was commercially sold, it was apart of another type of media(tv show/video game) and it wasn't the main focus, I'm just wondering if they would bother at that point.
If you pay for a legal copy of Ableton, yes. Part of the price includes rights to use all included samples and instruments. Same goes for most major music software. Although, there’s no way to tell the difference between the sound of a pirated DAW and a legal one, so the odds are low of ever being sued for this unless you publicize it.
What if the sample is an inspiration or an ode. You’re technically not using any of the recording but you’ve written a section of a song that’s reminiscent. But the lyrics and melody are a nostalgic reference less than a rip off. but still unique enough to not really considered to be copyright infringement.
Why don’t the copyright owners go after the DAW that distributes the samples instead of unknown or independent artists with no nothing. I thought if I create it and I’m using bits and pieces of sound from the DAW that my work would be regarded as original. But FL Studio had a similar problem with samples used from dj deadmaus- Isn’t there a program we can run our songs through that will scan it and let us know if any part of the song belongs to someone else ?!? 😞
Either purchasing it from them if it's not free, or get the permission from them, not sure if they are free royalty free Beats out there but in this case you may also use them, however not recommended especially if that Beat contain Samples that isn't cleared...
There's a difference between a "beat" and a "sample". You can purchase or license custom beats directly from producers. There are many sites that allow you to buy beats online. If the beat is 100% unique (i.e. not containing any samples), the producer can sell or license the beat to you directly. A "sample" is a portion of another sound recording that you're incorporating into your own mixes. In order to legally use a "sample", you'll need to contact and get permission from the owner of the master recording (usually the record label) and the owner of the song (usually the songwriter or publisher) It's actually a huge pain and often not a very fruitful endeavor for most small artists. That's why I recommend using precleared samples from a site like Tracklib.com
If you sample music from like an anime or show and then morph it like putting fx on it and changing the key, then chopping it up, would you still have to go through all of this?
This is truth however it dont help with songs that contain samples and selling them. I'm going to just make those free beats or sell them with it stating the the buyer of the beat is responsible for clearing samples.
I'hv used a lead sample from a sample pack in my first single who produced the sample pack told me you can use this without any issue and he said this is free for profit i don't need any money from it, what if i released my track then he switch his side and claim me, what is the process of on paper agreement so i can have proof ??
Very informative. I have a question about a situation I read about. Sisqo had an uncleared line in Thong Song (from La Vida Loca), so now the writer of La Vida Loca gets paid more from Thong Song than anyone else. After realizing that the line wasn't cleared, or after receiving a cease and desist, could Sisqo have simply removed/changed the line to avoid the situation?
The piece is public domain, but the recording will be a separate copyright. If you record the piece yourself, that's perfectly fine, but you would need a license to use someone else's recording
Do producers have to clear samples or is it the artists responsibility? I would think since the artist themselves actually write their own music these days (especially rappers) should clear both master and underlining composition. Thoughts?
You're selling a product that the artist can't legally use, depends on the contract that you're making with the artist you may be not respecting one of the terms in it. The best will be for you to clear the sample
Hey man thanks for explaining this stuff. I just wonder, what if I don't monetize my songs with samples? I mean, it still might be illegal, but maybe companies would let it go since they technically don't lose any money that way.?
Depends.. Yes like the other person commented.. But if you were to say sample a bunch of Michael Jackson or something along those lines... It will get removed from sites(UA-cam, soundcloud etc) and sometimes your acct deleted.
Most classical works are in the public domain, but the recordings probably aren't. So you would (in most cases) have to record the piece yourself. You record yourself playing part of a Beethoven Sonata and sample that (for example)
Give it a few years and they will be able to algorhymicly come down on everyone and detect samples.. whether they do or not is a moral thing and I'm guessing morals will go out the window especially if economy is screwed by covid. The flip side is we'll be able to further unpack the music of guys like J-Dilla and Premier and Pete Rock and find out which kicks and snares and hi hats they used and the sample source. Like on whosampled you can see the songs they sampled and it normally resonates with the idea of ghr song lyrically so we'll be able to see how deep they really went with it by analysing the sound sources.. very cool and I imagine they did go deep with it. It will be a legal mess i think and people might even be de-platformed or sued i reckon. Services like splice and traklib are ahead of the game.
Ok can someone make videos for us artist who bought samples beats BEFORE we knew how serious this was!! I need my money back and I need help because this is unfair. I have three sampled songs that I spent my hard worked money to buy just to find out I can’t even profit from it!! How do I get my money back
So I had a project run into some issues. Is it possible to have an musician friend just remake the sample note for note and clear it? Basically just remake it and have it sound different so that it differs from the one I was using. Basically i just wanna delete the sample i used and drop the new one in as a place holder without changing up the project too much cause vocals are already set on it.
I would interpolation a song because many artist doing previous years were writing their song on an music sheet. It's more relatable to do this in writing film or orchestra music because many song share the similar scales. You can change the scales or rearrange the note. So it wouldn't lead into copyright infringement. Artist like John Williams and Hans Zimmerman would use Richard Wagner music but would modified its into something else.
@@rizmatic047 It depends on the lyrics. If you're using a very popular song. I wouldn't use the sample. Vocal are difficult to use. You'll have do research on the vocal sample and making sure it wasn't use on any other song. Even if it's free royalty. You'll still have to make sure nobody didn't use the vocal.
I've always wondered about this sampling thing, groups like The Prodigy built an entire career on sampling and for the life of me I cant figure how the hell Liam got away with it, to this day he's still using sampling on his current music!
What is this song is not a single but it’s on the album? And how do I find out who I need to Kanté already know what label it was under I’m just not sure who did the rest
What if you're not planning on making any money out of your music and just doing it for fun? Let's say I sample something and put the song on UA-cam, but don't make any revenue out of it?
I'd rather not use samples then! I think just using an idea from a sample is better and then just using an instrument to make something similar to the sample.
one of the oldest rules in the book is to try to sample such obscure recordings that no one will ever get on your ass

Depends.. Yes like the other person commented.. But if you were to say sample a bunch of Michael Jackson or something along those lines... It will get removed from sites(UA-cam, soundcloud etc) and sometimes your acct deleted.
Can you sort of sample classical stuff
Most classical works are in the public domain, but the recordings probably aren't.
So you would (in most cases) have to record the piece yourself.
You record yourself playing part of a Beethoven Sonata and sample that (for example)
so can i pic any song off youtube and make a sampled beat ? jsut need to make it sound different like transpose or effects on top
So if I don't make money...?
What about using a disclaimer (reference the artists in description), with non profit uploads like SoundCloud and UA-cam
vizn beats it’s still using their samples without permission but in most cases label companies don’t do anything cause no ones making money out of it
Sign to a label problem solved
Nah, this is lame
Bassadelic Is a good source imo
What if the sample was a classical music from centuries ago? how does that happen?
All this music is public domain
@@korronbeatz5560so what does all belong to this do you think?
Named it a free mixtape. Boom.
He looks like Dave Grohl
Thank you Jesus
Give it a few years and they will be able to algorhymicly come down on everyone and detect samples.. whether they do or not is a moral thing and I'm guessing morals will go out the window especially if economy is screwed by covid.
The flip side is we'll be able to further unpack the music of guys like J-Dilla and Premier and Pete Rock and find out which kicks and snares and hi hats they used and the sample source. Like on whosampled you can see the songs they sampled and it normally resonates with the idea of ghr song lyrically so we'll be able to see how deep they really went with it by analysing the sound sources.. very cool and I imagine they did go deep with it. It will be a legal mess i think and people might even be de-platformed or sued i reckon. Services like splice and traklib are ahead of the game.
Thank you for your knowledge
what if i unknowingly sample some song
thanks my g, very helpful 🙌
You're quite welcome! Happy to help
Wtf Man this video is not helping
Ok can someone make videos for us artist who bought samples beats BEFORE we knew how serious this was!!
I need my money back and I need help because this is unfair.
I have three sampled songs that I spent my hard worked money to buy just to find out I can’t even profit from it!!
How do I get my money back
So I had a project run into some issues. Is it possible to have an musician friend just remake the sample note for note and clear it? Basically just remake it and have it sound different so that it differs from the one I was using. Basically i just wanna delete the sample i used and drop the new one in as a place holder without changing up the project too much cause vocals are already set on it.
I would interpolation a song because many artist doing previous years were writing their song on an music sheet. It's more relatable to do this in writing film or orchestra music because many song share the similar scales. You can change the scales or rearrange the note. So it wouldn't lead into copyright infringement.
Artist like John Williams and Hans Zimmerman would use Richard Wagner music but would modified its into something else.
Would this work with sampling vocals?
@@rizmatic047 It depends on the lyrics. If you're using a very popular song. I wouldn't use the sample. Vocal are difficult to use. You'll have do research on the vocal sample and making sure it wasn't use on any other song. Even if it's free royalty. You'll still have to make sure nobody didn't use the vocal.
So even if you give them profit and half your pay on the song you make do they basically own the masters to your song since you mastered it 🤷🏽♂️
Manage me??🙏

So wat if ur not selling that song / not making money off it
I need to earn money for music promotion machine
I've always wondered about this sampling thing, groups like The Prodigy built an entire career on sampling and for the life of me I cant figure how the hell Liam got away with it, to this day he's still using sampling on his current music!
What’s your feelings on garage band because they claim over n over they’re fair use
What if youre only using 30 seconds of a song for an intro to a video?
Over the years the fun of being a music creator is going down the drain
Just like everything else which is fun.
I just chop it up and replay it in a way that makes the sample unrecognizable. That works with music better than vocals.
what if I just wanted to sample a phrase from a song’s original lyrics but no actual audio from the song’s original recording?
What is this song is not a single but it’s on the album? And how do I find out who I need to Kanté already know what label it was under I’m just not sure who did the rest
What if you are a complete anonymous no-name who does beats for hobby (no-profit) and throws it on SC and YT? No money made.
What if you're not planning on making any money out of your music and just doing it for fun? Let's say I sample something and put the song on UA-cam, but don't make any revenue out of it?
Great vid man! Any other sites similiar to track lib that maybe have a more Current library and maybe more variety? Looking for other options
I have a Michael Jackson sample. Just don’t know where to start.
I'd rather not use samples then! I think just using an idea from a sample is better and then just using an instrument to make something similar to the sample.
I wanted to learn how to sample but the algos on tube keeps giving me the wrong results.
