Thank you! I used to just sample anything without worrying about clearing at all. Now I make sure to only use songs from tracklib or use samples from producers I‘m working with. It‘s kinda like a weird grey area especially in the online beat selling game. Not telling you to stop sampling tho. Just do it at your own risk lol
At one point I was desperate to sell beats. Got a few placements but compared to how many beats I put out it was a small percentage of beats I sent out. I eventually realised that I just can't make beats for other people. I just make beats for me and I dont think my beats are for emcees.
That‘s totally fine bro! Good for you actually. Making beats for artists can be hard sometimes too and shouldn’t be the main focus for all producers. At the end of the day it‘s just fun to make music and that‘s all that matters
Loops/samples nothing wrong with that, as u need to create your own as well. Throwing a loop without shit added is just stupid tho. Without music theory or atleast decent ear, your drums will suck and u won't be creating any chords or shit. 😂
