    I came here because I wanted to try and clear an interpretation, but this is so much work. I’m just going to remix it 😂 But this was a great breakdown! Thank you! Liked and subbed!

    I just sampled Primce's When You Were mine (for recreational purposes of course). After pitching it down 2 semitones and figuring out the most logical chord progression., I heard shades of Twist and Shout. So, Who's Zoomin' Who?

    Thanks. What is the process for using part of spoken word from UA-cam from either famous, or non-famous people?

      Another YTer said the ask for forgiveness not permission is a method. Cuz if it doesn't go platinum nobody is gonna find out or care.

    This is great but have a small question:
    *Upload documentation proving I own the copyright to the audio* does this mean i have to upload the invoice of the sample pack(s)?

    I'm kind of wondering about the flipside: how long you have to wait before recordings enter the public domain. How do you find that out? We have a lot of artists sampling 75 year old classical or big band music, etc. We're worried about having "rights" holders say, "...yeah, that's correct, we own the copyright, pay us, sure, sure..." when we don't actually have to.

      If the publication date is before 1928 it is public domain! 👍

    Acting like Vanilla Ice was a one-hit wonder because he didn’t clear his samples is wild. Not only did he have more than one hit song, he has recorded multiple albums, had a movie deal, appeared in Ninja Turtles, dates Madonna, and a whole other career in reality show and television hosting. Hew may not have made great use of his opportunities in the wake of To The Extreme, but releasing Ice Ice Baby cleared or uncleared absolutely was the correct decision.

      Since he was in a lawsuit with Queen he just bought the rights to Under Pressure and now he can license it out to anyone he wants.

      ​@@happ13e Jackanory tell me a story (you won't get the reference; it is just another way of saying that you're wrong and making things up). There was a lawsuit which was settled out of court. Queen and Bowie were credited and received royalties.

    all my tracks on ditto are never sampled i have a different issue I get this error message [ One or more tracks on your release finish or cut off abruptly. This can result in your release being rejected by some digital] but all my tracks that got accepted before all end the same with no instant cut offs and haven't been able to release music this year because of this issue

    • @dittomusic
      @dittomusic  Рік тому

      Stores will not accept your release if the tracks cut off abruptly or partway through the recording. 👍

    Thanks for the useful information but i have a problem
    It is that i don't have enough cash to pay for the rights
    I see that there is a good number of artists that don't have permission for the rights but they get away with it can you explain how please

    Just a question, would this work the same for remixes or non monetized projects?

    • @dittomusic
      @dittomusic  Рік тому

      For a remix you need permission from the copyright holder 👍

    What about if you sample someone’s music but drops in on UA-cam as a remix? Making no money from it, they can’t sue right?

    • @dittomusic
      @dittomusic  Рік тому +2

      UA-cam may remove your video for copyright 👍

    • @TayyJayy
      @TayyJayy Місяць тому +1

      Personally to reduce your chances would be to stretch out the BPM and put effects like Shaper box so the timing is different

  • @sxelady1203

    Does anyone know how to sample voice recordings from commercials legally? A great example would be "Taking What's not Yours" by TV Girl. She uses a commercial and a presidential conference.

  • @jasperdawnstar8530

    But what about turning a single note into a full instrument using a sampler? nobody can own a single note otherwise every instrument in existence would be illegal to use

  • @dr3wtube144
    @dr3wtube144 4 місяці тому +1

    A schizophrenic take on sampling. I did not learn anything from this video 🤦🏻‍♂️ This video essentially is telling people never to work with samples because everyone is going to take your money. You did not explain how you can augment a simple kick or snare and work hard enough on EQ on top of other effects to make it your own. I’m going to look you up now. Pretentiousness is infection.

    • @jamesdecent9421
      @jamesdecent9421 2 місяці тому

      It's pretty obvious that the idea of this video was to be intended for people who want to use melodic samples or anything that doesn't easily fall under fair use. Yes you could argue all day that you don't need sample clearance for a snare, clap, kick, etc as long as you do enough to it to make it your own but that doesn't help any who wasn't to get more creative with their samples.
