Avoiding Copyright - Youtube, DJ Mixes, Playing Live

[@nt_demon_au9250]

What I do on KZbin is I sort my set and then record it as an Automix in Rekordbox, I then just add my logo as a full length template and upload to KZbin with a 24 hr scheduled start, if anything gets copyright claimed I remove it from the set. I also delete the uploaded file and then do it all properly. I have been copyright claimed once only, by UMG and I fought that one and WON !

[@eliotmansfield]

good idea

[@projectsteadfast3142]

Awesome idea!

[@Wingfoot523]

You're so positive it's awesome! Also you're my favorite channel for DJ tutorials. Keep on mixing!

[@mixtapenerd]

Conspicuously positive, from the beginning, I'm wondering if some kind of narcotics are involved, maybe... coffee? 😄

[@djquikdr]

So much for uploading a spontaneous set on KZbin. First verify if the tracks can be uploaded on KZbin and then make your mix. In my opinion it takes away the spontaneity, intuitiveness and it tends more to static studio production. But KZbin has a larger crowd. Thanks for the video!

[@jackmono]

Yeah, it's not that bad. I make a lot of DJ mixes, usually 2 hours in length; it's typically only 2 tracks that were pretty obvious. Look at the record label. For instance, my latest mix had 32 tracks, and two of them were "Restricted in all areas", and those were from "Warner Music UK", and "Different Recordings", both pretty major labels, as well, I have also started to notice which labels do not place restrictions and I now have a spreadsheet, yes, a spreadsheet of labels that I never receive copyright strikes from. I also now have a label in Rekordbox called "Dicks" that i put on all tracks that shows up in the first tag position of all tracks that reminds me not to use for my SC or YT DJ Mixes, I suggest using MixCloud for uploading outside of YT, they have a great platform for DJs to release DJ mixes.

[@DB82TECHNO]

I think Anjuna Deep and Anjuna Beats released there entire back catalogue and new stuff for you to use on KZbin.

[@projectsteadfast3142]

Sounds right mate, about 500 tracks!

[@floatingfroggy]

Where can I buy it? Or is it free?

[@LearnAsUGrow501]

Pro Tip, you can trim the section. I had 2 on one video. It took about a day to remove the song. But It worked on. It was a small hard cut. But nothing that bad.

[@MooreloveDad]

there should be a split between the artist and content creator in my opinion, the content creator obviously put time and effort into the video as well as the artist put time and effort into the song, the content creator's video is also promoting the artist by using their music as well as the content creator needs music for their video, so in all fairness hopefully in the future music rights owners and content creators start doing a split on the content created 😊😊💯💯 Thoughts anyone?

[@MikeBranch81]

Excellent video, thank you! You always seem to answer exactly the questions I have (and some I didn't know I had).

[@projectsteadfast3142]

Awesome vid as always my man. Religious viewer here. I neeeeeeeeed to buy your course!!!

[@haydenlampre6740]

Hey, I love your videos keep up the great work. Just a little tip I have learned with mixes on youtube you can first create a video of just the tracks with no mixing just a blank video and the same thing will happen to tell what songs can be played that way the tracklist can be changed and made without playing an hour-long mixing a ton of times.

[@Adrian50089]

Great advice Andrew, and I totally agree with you. I had a couple of my early videos blocked as I was using more commercial tracks, i now find that if I use tracks just released they are normally fine a!so. I have however had a video blocked but i got in touch with the artist and record company and they updated the track from being blocked to monetized on KZbin, so worth asking👍

[@adari5422]

I really appreciate your honesty. I really like the video series you are doing, super useful tips . Thank you!

[@jcjc8730]

Thank you so much brother 🙏. Absolutely brilliant info!

[@A_Different_Kind_Of_Truth]

Very Professional.. I like 👍

[@lee-paullp-thenostalgicclu7549]

Hey, I actually did have the music royalty people monitor my set in a club one night. I think it was more for royalty’s than copyrights though.

[@nichak1398]

That was super helpful knowledge, thanks for the upload!

[@dragon-cloud]

Great video andrew! I just started my channel up this year and after hearing you say KZbin studios got rid of that track searching feature last year kind of upsets me. Had no idea much time and work gets put into the video editing till i started. I am a vinyl user and only have 2 sets now, roughly a 60 and a 90 min. Far from perfection but decent, was shocked the video editing took me 3hrs for the 60 and 5hrs for the 90 min videos! Thank you for the great video! Love your content!🙌👍

[@nt_demon_au9250]

The video work for my two hr sets can take 5 to 6 hrs ....... it can be hard work.

[@leeg6988]

Good tips Andrew. Thanks. Do you know about the rules around live streaming on Facebook? That seems a bit hit and miss too.

[@nt_demon_au9250]

Not worth bothering with Facebook, they will mute your audio on lots of tracks and you will risk getting banned from Facebook for 3 months. You can legally livestream on Mixcloud as the artist gets paid from your subscription money, Twitch will not block anything on your livestream but will mute the audio on suspect tracks on your replays. Follow the above methods for KZbin and you’ll have no issues.

[@leeg6988]

@@nt_demon_au9250 Have done some live streaming on Twitch and I know what you mean. Mixcloud good option but only audio and not visual I think.

[@atb_massive_night9679]

@DJ LawLess You can livestream video on Mixcloud, but they currently only support audio uploads (for listen again)

[@willievaughn6474]

That's precious information, you're amazing Thank you

[@dylansharp3086]

Great video and very helpful, thanks!

[@ricardasnarusis9615]

Hello Andrew! Amazing video like always. You right about copyright issues, but I found tricky is that sometimes youtube's and soundcloud's algorithms they clash. For example I made a mashup of well known Hardstyle tracks and youtube let ir through, but soundcloud blocked it straight away. Second thing was when I made a mix using only one artist's tracks, youtube blocked it and soundcloud let ir through.. So like you are saying every single time when I am uploading my mixes I kind of rolling the dice :D Thank you for your time :)

[@alechernandez5506]

On BPM Supreme some songs like for example, The Giver by Duke Dumont, sounds crappy. Just make sure the songs are high quality before playing live

[@stoneyschranz-hardtechno4743]

You should monetise your channel! you always give us quality videos and I would gladly watch the full advert to help you out a bit as I’ve got loads of tips off you......on KZbin videos I have never had an issue with posting them but I mainly play old school hard trance and early hardstyle and it’s always been ok. Saying that I’d have no problem with the artist getting a share if I actually had a busy channel lol I only do it for fun though so it’s all good

[@Thomao]

My aim is for Mixcloud uploads.

[@ToniRawGazer]

Thank you for the helpful information.

[@isdadcomingback]

Love the idea of scheduling out the rough draft! I was starting to get worried that id have to redo a ton of final copies. Do you know if this method is still reliable being two years after this video was posted?

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

I find YT has become more lax, they just put ads on everything and then the artists get a cut.

[@earlwhiff2012]

Hi Andrew , " Just a little random video " haha, it covered a Massive chunk of realiy usefull information , thanks for the explanation .

[@AuSCastDJ]

Thank you for the info great video

[@spectrumdjlh]

Great idea, thanks! How long would you say is enough time to let it be checked - should I schedule it for 1 day, a week..? I’ve had videos on Facebook pulled down AFTER 2 YEARS for copyright so hopefully it doesn’t take them that long 😆

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

10 minutes

[@damienstubbs6246]

This was timely! You covered a bunch of things I'd been wondering about. Still curious though about obligations for people who play outside of a club/festival environment, eg. mobile djs , and those who run internet radio shows. Do they pay a fee to APRA or some such organisation?

[@djjj226]

Yep you have to pay a something lisned bla i dont know but ye\

[@ac12484]

That’s great advice for pre-recorded mixes on KZbin, but this won’t work for live streaming on KZbin - they still slow down live streams when they detect any copyrighted music (even the one that doesn’t block your video when you’re uploading pre-recorded sets).

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Have you tried mixcloud for streaming? Where do you normally stream?

[@ac12484]

@@ClubReadyDJSchool KZbin... They show warning and slow down the stream when you play any music that would normally just result in an Ad on an uploaded video. I like to stream with video. Maybe I should consider Twitch...

[@haydenfinlay3574]

so if u mixed dj set on youtube u wouldnt get paid at all?

[@Djnarisx]

I have a question that’s been on my mind for a good while and maybe you or someone in the comments can answer them, what if a beginner DJ especially a young teenager 15-17 takes on djing, their parents buy them a controller, a computer and they have the standard DJ software licence, but what if they can’t afford tracks themselves to buy off iTunes and beatport and other track stores? Like let’s say I was starting out and I got up to 100 views per mix and people wanted more, and you wanted to make hour mixes, that’s about 20 tracks, each track can cost from 99c - €5.00 and I have seen a track being €5.00 on beatport, how can the beginners afford these tracks especially to prevent them from youtube ripping the tracks they want?

[@deanburke6390]

Use record pools, soundeo, bpm supreme etc..

[@projectsteadfast3142]

With Rekordbox, Serato and Denon all including Tidal or Beatport Link integrated then you have a static cost to pay each month on the former. Not sure on the latter and how thats monetised.

[@Djnarisx]

@Marin Pavešić cheers mate

[@Jay_LM]

Thank you a lot :)

[@MrAdamJW]

So if you are putting all this work into your channel right, making all these mixes and great videos... That's a lot of your time isn't it. So, if you can't monetize your channel/ videos then how do you make money from your channel?

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

I don't make money from my channel, I make money from my courses - which are currently on sale haha: www.clubreadydjschool.com/club-ready-dj-course/

[@safwanfallatah8611]

I don’t understand anything

[@magiclay]

underground music from 2002 could have copyright strike?

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Maybe, I think times have changed a lot since then.

[@fonsverkoelen2734]

You buy your music from Beatport or ... dj.... what ? :) i could not understand.

[@robinelyza8016]

DJ pools :) like BPM Supreme, DJCity, Digital DJ Pool etc

I can say that SoundCloud WILL delete your mix if A N Y T H I N G from Universal Music/Calderstone Productions is used, as It happened to me on SoundCloud. The offending track? The Beatles! “The Ballad Of John And Yoko”!

[@djthreesixty360]

[@sashas3362]

You are promoting an artist when you dj so are entitled to some payment imo. Social media which pays content creators/owners and users for shares/reshares, likes, etc makes copyright violations obsolete because the creator/owner gets paid when people share/reshare the songs/videos/etc on those social media platforms.

[@DoronBond]

Facts…i guess artist want to streamline their music
