Udemy How To Get Sample Clearance (For Music Artists) [TUTORiAL]

FULL INFO BELOW:

This is the question many times a producer, DJ, and songwriter must struggle with on a daily basis.

Sampling is fun, and in the era of the todays strictly digital production world, very easy to do.

Typically, most independent releases remain under the radar and never draw enough attention to face the serious legal ramifications of not clearing samples.

However, not clearing samples is still a serious dangerous place to be.

Using someone elses recording in your music without permission can lead to serious consequences including, lawsuits or the inability to distribute your music to the public.

You could have an unexpected hit from that release and find yourself in a very defenseless position.

The owner of one uncleared sample could have that record pulled from your project or ask for an unreasonable amount of payment because they are aware that youre in a vulnerable spot.

If youre lost whether or not you can sample from an existing song and how much is permissible to use, and whether you need permission to use a sample in your new sound recording, this course will clarify all of this for you along with the the dos and donts of sampling.

The Golden Rule of Music Law: if you dont own or control it, you likely need a license to use it.

If you produce or remix music for other artists, its usually your responsibility to clear any samples introduced during the recording process. The artist or their label will probably make you contractually responsible for doing so as a pre-condition to the final record.

In this course, you will learn how to go about sampling, how to avoid getting sued, and learn the step-by-step process of asking permission to sample a song.
