That applies to any length of sample, even if it's only one second. --- http://fresh-produce.net a new site for dance music producers Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 24-03-2005 14:40 PM Chris Blakey Previously Zero Tolerance Chris Registered: Jan 2005 Posts: 1004 - Threads: 61 Location: London [Edited by Zero Tolerance Chris on 24-03-2005 16:48 PM] unless the track is actually gonna be released i wouldnt worry about it and in most cases even if it gets released theres not much chance of getting sued or anything as the amount of money that a hard trance tune would make would be minimal to the amount it would cost to take you to court and theres not really much chance of a hip hop artists actually ever hearing the track so i wouldnt worry to much but yes in normal cases all samples must be cleared with the original artists ----Zero Tolerance---- --some things in life are meant to be hard-- --http://www.zero-tolerance-productions.co.uk Freedom & Fear Updated Version now in the productions page-- Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 24-03-2005 16:47 PM brad duke been a bit quiet recently... Registered: Feb 2004 Posts: 1355 - Threads: 121 Location: Norwich you can get round this by getting Someone to perform the vocals for you... the same as if you wanted to sample a track... if you played it yourself you wont have to clear the sample... However, You will have to credit the original composer/writer, as it's work that you have recreated from their originals Sat APRIL 9th WILDCHILD presents MAYHEM IN MILTON KEYNES!!

Thanks , This question pops up so many times. Unless you have a massive commercial release that makes shed loads of money, you'll generally go un-noticed by the copyright holders. Saying that though, your record could acheive massive success, get caught and youlose all your profits and get a hefty bill from the courts. Fatboy Slim didn't clear the strings sample on Right Here/Right Now and lost a lot of money. Basically it doesn't matter how long the sample is, you're still copying someone elses work. If you're a none profiting organisation then you do have clearance to take the sample.

Registered: Dec 2004 Posts: 663 - Threads: 41 Location: Portsmouth Like everyone else has said, unless its going to be heard by thousands of people, they're not going to know. But if it is going to be released on vinyl, it could just be a white label. I think you can sample up to about 5 secounds legally anyways. keep it karim![i] Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 25-03-2005 12:31 PM Centurian Registered: Mar 2004 Posts: 17008 - Threads: 467 Location: teknocity_online Quote: hayley_blackwell wrote on 25-03-2005 12:31 PM Like everyone else has said, unless its going to be heard by thousands of people, they're not going to know.

Good advice putting it out on white label though.
