>Where can I sample stuff?

anywhere
>Is it legal to sample other peoples songs from soundcloud?

look at the licensing of their tracks

>Is it dickish to sample other peoples songs from soundcloud?

only if its not creative commons

>Is it legal to sample youtube videos? Like, are they copyrighted?

most of the time they and no one really will never know so its fine

>Album with samples?

what did he mean by this

Do you like The Books and why?

yeah they're creative and sometimes funny

Have you listened to Dreamies by Bill Holt? I'm confused how he could use Beatles samples legally because it seems like you'd have to pay a ton of money to sample it legally and Bill Holt doens't seem like a big artist? I dunno

it wasn't legally, the residents and mf doom did the same shit by sampling them without clearance and no one ever cared

but do you have examples/ideas from where to sample stuff?

and thanks this was really helpful

no problem

the beauty of sampling is that you can flip even the most played out piece of music into something new

just fuck with shit in audacity until it sounds cool

You shouldn't worry about the legality of it. For one, you'll probably never be well-known enough for it to matter. If you are, you can retroactively get sample clearance or take down infringing works if it actually becomes a problem.

I used to worry about this but then I realized all the cool artists who used sampling never worried about clearance. Just use anything that sounds cool.

thanks f a m

too many wannabe producers sample w/o intent. you shouldn't go out and find samples. you should sample something that you feel you can do something with.

there's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to find samples. digging for samples has gotten me into so much music that I probably wouldn't have checked out otherwise.

lmao of course

>>60637656
im of the party that believes sampling anything is ok, nothing is sacred.
just don't take a dump on it or don't like, not do anything with it. Like i saw a guy on soundcloud take a loop out of a Tycho track and didn't do shit to the sample, and then threw a beat on top that sounded like the beat for the original song, it was so dumb. If ur gonna sample sample like u mean it
