Sampling

[Logan Morales]

How does one get away with sampling? I know you basically have to flip it and not make it sound like the original piece but how do you measure that? Can one just take a song, put some reverb on it, and then you don't get in trouble? I assume you have to give the person you're sampling credit but do you also have to pay them too? Or is that just the case if you are getting money out of it too?

It has nothing to do with how much you change it, all that matters is that you legally clear it with the copyright holders. If they permit it you could theoretically completely rip it off.

I know depends is the answer to any question user but could you give me some different sides on what it depends on.

[Charles Ward]

this is probably a better example

Is a cover band sampling?

[Ian Cox]

no, they are covering

[James Miller]

The reason I put the Avalanches as the thumbnail is they used hundreds of samples in their album. Did they seriously have to get all of that cleared by the copyright holders? That would take years of legal battle to complete.
