NI expansions and song distribution

[soulige]

It should so.....but like Vurt said the content ID systems get confused. Evidentially not just loops even on some extended one shots. Sure it's legal and royalty free but they don't want the hassle.as a rule. I am sure there are exceptions.

I released some music in 2010. Before content ID. I had a song make it on a playlist on YouTube and got 1.3 million plays. The real hook of that song was a stock harp loop that came from Reason 4. Now imagine if someone else used that harp loop.... actually it's hard to believe no one else did. But I got all the credit.....so to speak. I would bet if someone used that loop in a new track. They would receive a claim and I would get paid. Hmmmm maybe that's how I got so many plays anyway.....music was released in 2010. 1.3 million plays in 2019.

Interesting. Did not think about this. Thanks.

So, what do we do then? Can't we modify the loops to a decent length so that they don't are not easily identifiable? Or chop them up or whatever?

Considering a lot of modern music producers use samples from Splice, Loopcloud, etc. it is possible that the sample is used by more than one producer. Why are these sources present then? I do get your point, but then what we are witnessing today is kinda contradictory.

I had almost forgotten that music is still tracked for infringement, simply because of the volume of music being produced and released these days and the common resources that we all have access to. I started thinking no one really bothers of copyright anymore. Not that I don't know about it or its importance.

Right, the question is Why are these sources like Splice/loopcloud and expansions available??
To make money off Todays oversaturated community of music makers. Thats it! They dont plan on anyone making a living/career off of music, just bedroom producers doing this for fun! Thats why every year NI drops a new version of KOMPLETE, like Komplete 8 didnt provide you with enough already!

If you are going to buy expansions or sample packs, i'd advise just use it for the Drums, or make the bounce/groove totally different from the original!

Indeed, that's true and I feel the same way. Since last few years things have gone crazy.

Yeah, that would be the safest best. But sometimes it's good to use a loop in a context, with some modifications of course. I never use the elements from construction kits folders really though, or let's say just once as far as I remember.

I wonder if something like Izotope Iris 2 also falls into this. It not a construction kit but some of the samples are long and quite detailed. you could literally do an ambient track by pressing one note.

But my gut tells me that these fall more into the preset category which so far is legit.
