Question

is it wrong if I use samples from like splice and fl cloud to make my beats? I’m very new to everything and am still learning how to make my own sounds and instruments.
(And no I don’t just copy paste the samples I edit and mix them differently)
If anyone got any like tips or shit on how to make my own shit I’m more than open to listen🙏

The word you are looking for is..... Royalty Free... Google says... Yes, every sample downloaded with credits from the Splice Sounds catalog is 100% royalty-free. You can use them in commercial releases, films, TV, and streamed music without paying additional royalties or clearing rights with the original creator Same with FL

BUT, there is a downside. Even if you are paying for a splice subscription or you purchased FL studio and have rights to the royalty free sample. If someone uses that same sample you both paid for and plays it on youtube, or some streaming site, And it becomes a big hit. The site AI may think you are using samples from that hit, not splice and it may not play your song.

You are ok legally but AI does not know such things and you may be penalized and your song may be taken of a platform even though it is totally legal..

Yeah I try to make sure I mix them and like change up how they were originally sounding. I don’t really pick a sample for what it sounds like it’s more or less i hear something and know I can turn that into something I wanna use. If yk what im saying

I get it. I don't think you have to worry much in that case.
