ProdByBanditoYe I do this for a living so money is important. I also said previously if your doing it for recreational/hobby purposes good stuff but for me personally putting out the music I've created is very fulfilling, money or no money but it's not feasible due to copyright strikes or clearance
I respect that
Who all you produced for?

Hotboii, Pooh Shiesty, Lil Keed,Trippie,Cordae,Kaycyy, Lancey Fouxx, Wacotron, that's some of my released stuff but I've worked with most people except Kanye really 😂 which sucks because he's definitely one of my idols but I'm conflicted because if I ever have the chance I don't think at this point morally I could do it

I ain't going to argue with you if your being truthful and have somehow found the biggest loophole in producing more power to you bro. I just know after being involved in many contracts and negotiations clearing samples and earning any money on them is horrible

Would you give me the opportunity to send you some samples I made? Maybe let me know what you think?
I usually make more underground sample based hip hop but over these last 5- 6 months I started getting some nice kontact libraries and actually started using my prophet 6 to make some cool stuff. I just don’t even know where to start with getting samples out there
May 22, 2023notbrockYeah I’m bout to go off on this one
Tracklib is high key an absolute rip off. If your a small unknown obscure artist then you don’t need to clear any f***ing samples. Alchemist himself said he don’t clear s*** unless it’s something for a big artist like Kendrick. So all his projects with Roc, Curren$y, Boldy, Larry etc. are full of uncleared samples because there small enough where suing them wouldn’t even be worth it finically. And if your track blew up and was actually making a ton of money you could actually handle that situation and give the sampled artists their percentage. It’s very rare something like Lucid Dreams by Juicewrld happens and even tho Sting takes almost all the revenue of that song it was completely worth it in the end because Juicewrld blew up and made a ton of other big songs
Tracklib tricks young producers and people who don’t understand this and makes a s*** ton of money off them
Tracklib is also full of absolute trash. Everytime a really good song that has a ton of potential gets uploaded on there it immediately gets downloaded thousands of times and used everywhere. Which imo kills the fun of finding dope songs to sample
As a sample based producer myself who really enjoys the art of finding obscure gems and s*** nobody’s heard since the 70s I avoid Tracklib and those YouTube channels live Andre Navarro like the plague
Ain’t nothing like going the record store, Finding some obscure German album full of absolute heat that very few other people know about
Perfectly said

Dillas the goat idk why I was so harsh on tracklib, I've never been on the site

yeah this is essentially how i feel, sample libraries for me personally take a lot of the fun out of the process of flipping and manipulating a sample once you have it, because oftentimes the sample that you pulled from one of these libraries is already processed, EQ’d etc. to a general taste
and that point about how everyone eventually starts using the same samples or whatever is pretty much the main reason why i stay away from it, i feel like if you’re going to develop your own individual style, creative process, or at least have some form of unique production just in general, pulling solely from sample libraries isn’t really going to get you there
if you want to sell beats to your local acts or whatever, then i guess it wouldn’t really matter-ish (since it seems like most people nowadays are content with generic splice sourced beats or whatever) but if you want to develop your own voice for your art, it’s probably better if you actually go out and dig for yourself

there’s nothing wrong with using a sample library for s*** like a guitar or a bass part, one shots etc. whatever whatever, but i personally draw the line at sourcing core parts of the beat and other stuff from it
it just doesn’t sit well with me from an artistic standpoint
in actuality however, no one gives two f***s if you sourced your beat from a library or some obscure vinyl store in f*** all Japan somewhere, it just matters if it sounds “””good”””

that s*** is funny asf
May 23, 2023notbrockI don’t but I could send you some stuff
Your s*** is hard but definitely not really the sound I do so idk if you’ll f*** with it
