Wow that's horrible losing majority of your rights to your beats is ridiculous i have a question I'm now getting into producing beats but I create my own original beats I want to use vocal samples is that just as problematic as sampling other artists instrumentals if you can answer my question I definitely would appreciate it thank you.
@@GOGETTAMUZIC2010 One is master license, the other is mechanical license for the composition. You have to properly clear licensing for both. It is always better to recreate, sampling is just way too complicated these days, and no matter how much people are claiming it is "art", it will never be as original as your own composition.
Absolutely right! I used to be a sample based producer until I learned this part of the business. After knowing this. I learned how to arrange and layer instruments. I do miss the obscure sounds I use to find with sampling, but now I’m on to something different and also fun. Plus original. Don’t have to be worried about clearing samples of other published and recorded work. ✊🏾
@@Gboyrecords if you reply it and replay the melody. Yes! Because a composition is really the lyrics and melody. Sometimes riffs. But how the notes of the melody are phrased. Belongs to the original songwriter or composer.
The minute you start capitalizing off your music you have that eye on you. Great video on the music business. Keep being informative for the community brother. Appreciated☝️
Bro I wish to elevate in music production enough to even have these kind of problems 😭 but when I do I’ll be glad I heard this. Fr thanks for breaking off the knowledge and doing the footwork where I didn’t even know I needed to do
We need more producers like Pain. Alot of these other producers scared or too egotistical to drop gems to help everybody especially those new to the business side. That's why I'm always here commenting and showing love because it's respect
Thanks for sharing the info. I don't use many samples in my music but it's good to understand clearance. I make music for television so I try to stay away from samples. It just makes it easier.
Im not even a producer and find this information valuable to my music friends. Something to share when we choppin it up. Been a fan since Slaughterhouse's "Off Shore", good to see you being a life boat for the community.
@@DJPain1 oh im aware now, i admittedly always thought u did til i saw your breakdown. Masterful shit you put together man. Brought the pain, pun intended.
Thanks Pain for the info! I’m a very sample heavy producer myself so this video was definitely the one for me! I’m aware of the issues that may arise in the future so I definitely wanna educate myself a little bit now before I blow up haha.
Thank you for all the gems. I think the hate comes from the fact that these people are good at something but they are finding out that there is a huge brick wall that may be un-climbable. Its better to know what they should do than catch one and not have shit to show for it.
Respect for this information DJ Pain, as an upcoming producer this is very helpful. It's better to create your own samples, but sometimes when you find something really nice on the internet and you reverse chop pitch, flip it up. It's sad to delete it just because it's not your own sample even if it doesn't sound like the original sample in any way, If I get sued or I don't receive any royalties because of sampled material I won't let that stop me from creating amazing music. Music should not be just for money or protection, most of all music is Art, Connection, Passion.
Thank you for normalizing the use of sample packs. People don't understand, sample based production is still very much alive and well. It just looks different, and is much more accessible now.
thanks for sharing. It's wild how unfair the legality of samples is. I could be wrong but I think it's because it's mostly labels that own the music. I bet if artists owned more of their music (which should be the case regardless) then we would see more freedom with sampling. Charging $10k for a sample that hasn't made any money yet is ridiculous. If you sample a song, you should only have to pay a percentage of the money you make, in my opinion. And that percentage should be decided by the artist who created the sample.
I appreciate this video...I was going to ask about Splice but as I was writing this you started to break it down. Going to just use my own sounds and melodies from now on
Dj pain one your one of my mentors that really breaks things down not just the process of beat making but the business side thank you and others like ave mcree ,busy works beats, curtis king and many more thank youqq
💯 As an individual who uses 100% samples from commercially released music you told zero lies! It absolutely makes sense to find alternatives to get your rightful share of your composition. It's just something about sampling commercially released music from vinyl that sonically is most appealing to me personally. But eventually I'm going to have to adapt for the business side to make sense! Salute for dropping gems! ✊🏾
Great video, very informative on a topic that that is confusing to a lot of people. Thanks for sharing your experience Would be cool to hear you talk about the different ways royalty splits work, or how to hold your back up when negotiating/pricing your beats to sell to labels (though I know this might be very subjective). Especially hearing you prolly could have gotten 10k v 4k, there’s probably some jewels there
Just like quite a few of your videos, great content, explained very well for those of us that are new to all of this. There are a lot of aspects to trying to sell beats that are intimidating (only speaking for myself). Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This video is a gem. Peace...
Subbed to you finally. Im not really into hip hop or beatmaking persay but I do make sample packs for house producers. I love your takes on things and I feel taken care of after watching your videos
I love how you break the truth down with comedy and in a tone that pisses ya haters off even more, don't ever stop bringing the real... I cannot thank you enough
It's very disheartening that so many ignorant people are so mfn LOUD!!! I'm Forever Grateful for your gems and content, Pain... fr fr.. i've learned A LOT from you and the MEC
This is why my chosen way of sampling is to rearrange and distort the original song so much its absolutely impossible to recognize where it came from. i've never sampled any stings songs and i'm definitely going to right now lool
I always listen to your stuff. Thanks for your input to the comminity. I started making beats using third party samples and I find making my own samples way more fun anyways! But if you make soul based beats it hits different digging into some old 70s soul records. The downsize is that it is hard to clear it.
OK, can you elaborate on what a SAMPLE is ? I use single shots from dawn stock sounds and as well as loopcloud single shots , I stop using loop samples and sampleling from songs because of this fear
Thank you for explaining the Splice sample topic. I am using a lot of em and got a bit scared of not being able to upload some of them beats to CONTENT ID.
They usually take it all, in most cases, because the sample wasn't cleared before its release. If you negotiate it ahead of time (assuming they allow you to use it at all) you will usually, in most cases, come out with a better outcome. that's been my experience. I definitely feel you because i stopped using samples as well. It only took seeing -42k for sample licsensing on my first royalty statement to change my approach, and this was in the early 90s
Samples are for the pleasure of putting on vinyl and DJing out, or selling directly to fans. Underground. Non samples are for business! pitch and place and upload all day!
So good of you for posting this. Not enough professional producers talk about this. Using samples is fun until money gets involved. I'd stay off of twitter where possible :)
I’d love to hear your take on tracklib. I think it’s an amazing service. I’d like to see a lot more of certain styles of music on it but i think any producer could say that about any source including their own record collection.
@@DJPain1 It's me "LX" I met you through DTP If I recall lol I thought it was a placement for Small World or Luda. I could be wrong and I meant to say FOR DTP
it's crazy how many intricacies are involved in copyright laws ... I recently watched an interview with a well-known producer. He spoke on another producer regarding sampling.... apparently some producers just say FCK IT and just hope for the best ..... idk... I think that's kinda dope.
I used one sample and never got caught, but if it ever caught steam they can have it. It's best not to do it or deal with any thing that you cant call your own. Its a a headache, so the community appreciates the samples you create from scratch.
It’s so much hate out here bro. Once you get to a certain level all you want to do is provide info & build with others. Keep going Pain thanks for continuing to share your journey & wisdom🤘🏾
When everyone started rocking the korg keyboards in the early 2000s and dumped sampling the beats were sounding crap for awhile before the majority of samples came back.
My new sample pack won’t get you in trouble: djpain1beats.com/sound-kits
Wow that's horrible losing majority of your rights to your beats is ridiculous i have a question I'm now getting into producing beats but I create my own original beats I want to use vocal samples is that just as problematic as sampling other artists instrumentals if you can answer my question I definitely would appreciate it thank you.
I'm guessing the Dead man was either Marvin Gaye or Isaac Hayes. I wish I could know
@@travishall4740 Travis Hall that's definitely the Gaye Family they don't play and they win majority of these lawsuits.
As far a sampling goes...How much is the difference between actually "sampling" the music and "duplicating" the music with a different instrument?
@@GOGETTAMUZIC2010 One is master license, the other is mechanical license for the composition. You have to properly clear licensing for both. It is always better to recreate, sampling is just way too complicated these days, and no matter how much people are claiming it is "art", it will never be as original as your own composition.
I respect the fact that you're pushing through all this bs to continue to spread the truth and give value to the community.
Appreciate your energy bro
Sampling is one hell of a drug.
Yes 😁
FACTS...!!!
Honestly 😢

Hear it for originality!
What if u replay a sample do u still have to clear it?
@@Gboyrecords if you reply it and replay the melody. Yes! Because a composition is really the lyrics and melody. Sometimes riffs. But how the notes of the melody are phrased. Belongs to the original songwriter or composer.
bro you don’t understand how helpful you’ve been throughout my entire time doing this music shit appreciate you🙌🏾
Happy to help
Here to say the same.
Still use samples,
but it's more a love of the game thing,
as just keep 'em in the archives.
Much respect & appreciation
on what U do, Pain 🙏🏼🤲🏼✊🏼💯

Best to back up your stuff with external hard drives. I've lost hard drives and I felt like I lost a part of myself that I could never get back.
@@darkemperor418 this comment. Been four years bro but i havnt been the same ever since

appreciate how real and transparent you are ,especially on this kind of topics, thanks Pain
You are the truth teller in this community. Thanks for all that you do.
I appreciate that
💎💎 OG Pain 1! Good looks on the info!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!!
can i get into trouble when i use loop to cut out samples(mostly drums) from splice?
I just want to thank you on the behalf of all those that actually want to learn the business. WE appreciate you.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for this! So many songs on the radio today are interpolations of existing songs!
Yessir, which helps I guess because you don’t have the clearance fee working against your future royalties and it’s fun.
Im not even a producer and find this information valuable to my music friends. Something to share when we choppin it up. Been a fan since Slaughterhouse's "Off Shore", good to see you being a life boat for the community.

Theres a twist in here and its their job to clear the sample anyway so if they are willing sample away
