Loop Based Music Licensing
Hello -
Does anybody know about the licensing issues, if any, when creating a musical composition using loop based software (i.e., Sony Acid Pro, GarageBand, etc...)??? Basically what I'm trying to find out is ... if I create a musical composition using such software, do I "legally" own the license / rights / etc. to the composition even though I purchased and used multiple loops created by various other artists? Also, any suggestions (websites, books) for reading up on licensing would be much appreciated too!!! |

Re: Loop Based Music Licensing
I believe it's in the terms of use of GarageBand. I've used it for broadcast TV in the US and never had any problems.

Re: Loop Based Music Licensing
Same with me, used Garage Band and Magix Music Maker many times for commercial work and upload to YouTube etc with never a problem.
It may be different now, but in my recording studio days some years ago, you could sample and use virtually anything providing the sample didn't exceed 10 seconds. Roger |

Re: Loop Based Music Licensing
Oddly, the system employed by PPL now has samples itemised as non-featured performances, and they have a first generation sample, then a second generation (as in a sampled sample) and even third generation. Their members can do a search of themselves to find if anyone has incorporated any of their work, in a later sampled one. This assumes users fill in the studio data on recordings. Members usually do, non-members don't. However, this does suggest that if the owner finds out you used it, they can make a claim - and I guess if the recording then turns out to be an illegal one, they could take action.
If the legit users have to pay, then non-legit ones will have to too. Interesting. |

Re: Loop Based Music Licensing
PPL is who you license music from in the UK. Like ASCAP/BMI here in the states.

Re: Loop Based Music Licensing
We have two - PPL and PRS, PPL for the recordings and PRS for the composer's rights!
