EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Most important thing to realize is that sampling any sound recording and 
rereleasing it without a valid license from the copyright holder is what will 
get you into trouble. It isn't a matter of just crediting the sources.

That way the law protects everyone.

But yes, if a someone sampled a portion of a track that has a sample of 
someone else's recording, they would have to obtain a license from both 
parties.

thanks for that. i'd still like to know: if i used a ligit spectrasonics 
selection and subsequently someone else used my work 
containing those samples would spectrasonics have a valid 
case against me?

on a more upbeat note (yikes, 8.30 am and im punning!) i just 
ordered stylus! yay, its out....one thing ive wondered about these 
new instruments (no doubt i'll find out when it arrives) is how the 
groove control works with them in terms of how to get the midi 
info on a track, do they automatically create the midi slices and 
place them on the track or is it like the exisiting method of 
dragging a file?

No, no...that's not what I was referring to...I thought you were talking 
about sampling someone else's track as the source. Once the spectrasonics 
samples are in your music, you are free to license the music to anyone you 
like.

This is going to be really funny in 20 years.
Sample courtesy by xx that used samples from yy that used a samplecd by
Spectrasonics etc...

Is there a timelimit on how long samples are prohibited?

A song is actually free in 70 years (different from contry to contry).

judging by the amount of illicit downloads, a song today is free 
almost before it's written..
