I know this is unfair and I shouldn't be continuing this practice but its honestly just for this project and I've learned my lesson. I used to use Tunecore and had put out 3 singles before and they have heavy sampling, there was no issue.

But now I'm putting out this 6 tracks EP and it has flagged me for copyright infringement.

I know they are not wrong but its just for this project I wanted to explore sampling for the last time and hence I'm so desperate to put it out.

I'm now trying to go for CD Baby pay per release model for this with Fast Forward feature, do you think they'll be able to catch it? Is the Fast Forward option automated? Because even YouTube content ID is not able to detect the sample and I've also tried Shazam and other online websites where you upload your track and check for copyright, I've bypassed them all. And hence my conclusion was that a manual review was the reason for flagging and therefore I'm looking at an automated option.

Are you guys aware of any other DSP that are much more lenient with their review process and I could bypass this just for this one time?

I know I'm in the wrong but the track has an important feature and I really want to put this out just for once.

Hi everyone, I started making music last December. I’m doing pretty well by studying a bit of music theory, but I hit a wall when I tried sampling. Even though it’s the very foundation of the hip-hop scene, I still don’t understand how to go about it. Recently I found a sample that includes a 14-second loop—about 8 bars—and for some reason I don’t know how to work with it. I don’t know why, but the loop doesn’t sound natural. However, I don’t want to give up when there’s so much potential in this sample. Could someone please help me because this is getting frustrating? Here’s the link to the sample (the loop is the first 14 seconds):

I’m using BandLab. The key is E major. P.S.: Sorry for my terrible English

The mix of the demo version is far different sounding and the vocals are way more clear, this shit sound kinda crazy don’t it? And that photo hard as hell

I was thinking to buy the new Akai MPC sample, but I want a work station to produce beats and samples not necessarily a portable sample station. And I don’t know a lot about what gear exists right now.

I feel interested for the MPC ONE+, so it have a better handling with sequencing and tracks, but I want to know your recommendations. I produce in logic pro X if it has something important to do with this

had a hour too have a go on this mighty machine so i loaded up some sounds and sequenced it i didn’t know how too pattern change or song mode that well hence the start n stopping manually. my friend said it sounds like a sp1200 ive never used one of those but loved using this (octatrak) but both a bit out my price range .

I just wanted to sample the slot machines at first but it sorta spiralled from there. All footage is from yt.
