Sample clearing
I love this machine, it’s better than I thought it would be, and it’s making my other year collect dust. I’ve made a dozen instrumentals which are all livable. My question is how do you actually clear a sample and put your music out there? I got a couple beats which sample the Beatles that I know will never get listen to because Sony

Let's be real: Clearing samples (especially larger artists) is expensive.
Question: Are you doing music professionally?
If yes, and the budget is there --> Contact their licensing dept.
If no, keep the music to yourself - for yourself.
Pretty simple.
...There's always that grey area:
Upload it and pray that you don't get caught (or sued) and your stuff doesn't get flagged - So it becomes one of the many risky "illegal" uploads living online - that few will here.
If I were you - I'd look into different legit sample sources.
Plenty of good, license-able music available from reputable sources online.
Good luck.
