Bro just found out about sampling 🤯🤯

[@nerfytheclown]

Oh thank you. I was going to try to come up with a way to say that

[@1vbeats]

I wouldn’t consider that sampling

[@whynot7191]

What a sad excuse you make.

[@yuufeternal5837]

Even when you sample you still have to clear, credit, and pay. This is a way to steal from peers which is NOT cool. You'd understand if you were a melody maker, composer, or musician.

[@whynot7191]

@@yuufeternal5837 nah you just grew up in a buble of what you think music is, and it shows. You're making excuse because you see other people do it. You're basically saying you do whats popular because everone else does. You're a follower. There was a time when musicians had to MAKE their own music only using unique ideas from their mind. You would know this if you were a musician.

​@@rudyvsetecka8454 there are only about 15 big melody producers on looperman, such as julbeats and nofuk, and they upload them for free to get their name out there so they can sell other melody packs to larger producers. They even state its optional to even give them credit for their loops found on looperman. While there are a few thousand loopmakers on looperman, most of them only upload once or twice, or they upload drum loops or perc loops or sfx loops. 90 percent of the loops on looperman are only from a handful of loop makers

[@Dimmsvd024]

@@Xeroform The site itself tells you that you dont have to credit anyone, because if you use like 3 loops, the title would be way too long.

[@liamdubalmusic]

@@Xeroform you literally dont need to credit anyone for a short loop. you cant own the rights to a melody. do you know how many people a producer would have to credit? especially in genres like hip-hop. however if its a full on multi-tracked instrumental piece than thats a different story.

[@Xeroform]

@@liamdubalmusic @Requiem You guys are right. I was just going from memory of using a few loops from a popular free site , and the producer who made them *asked* to be tagged credited, but now that I think of it more, he said it in a way like it would be a cool favor/ not required tho.

[@gurtcobain]

"While you may use loops in your own productions / tracks / video soundtracks etc you can NOT claim copyright of those loops as is or as part of your original composition. You may claim copyright of your composition but NOT of any content that is downloaded from looperman." meaning you would have to credit the loops creator in the copyright. It has nothing to do with the song title being too long. You would only need to credit the Co-Producer/Ghost Producer in the copyright metadata.
