Thanks.. Logic is really a fabulous DAW…
This is a lot of fun!
Garageband and Logic are simply excellent.
New vid from Doug manipulating loops, etc from an older producer pack
I wish we could get a metal or prog producer pack.
Unfortunately these are just loops.
I never use loops, I don't understand the use of loops.
They are music created by other people.
When I use them to "create" a song, is it still my song? Did i create it?
If you built a house using bricks that you didn’t make yourself, did you still build the house?
Everyone has a different way of working, and we all piece together music differently. If using loops for parts of the music you create isn’t for you that’s fine, but it opens up a lot of creative possibilities for people who can’t play instruments very well.
This forum is so heavy. I just had an existentialist moment.
These loops are also good material for Sample Alchemy.
Not the best analogy.
Bricks are more like instruments. You don't need to build the instruments to make your own music with them.
Making music solely with loops is more like buying a prefab-house from Amazon, unwrapping it, moving it into place and then saying "Look, I built a house".
All loops, samples and instruments from Apple in their software are free of copyright restrictions for users, so even if you use the most blatantly obvious loops (along with your own contributions) in a new recorded work, you own the copyright for publishing and profit. But technically, if you used their loops and then claimed you actually played an instrument you didn’t play, that might be legally problematic.
While you are right, my problem with using loops is not copyright.
I assume that they are cleared and free to use.
The question is, did I create a song, when i just put together musical sequences that someone else created?
Can I claim that I made this?
Sure this is totally personal, but every time I found some nice loops and wanted to use them, i couldn't do it because of the feeling of "this was not done by me"
I used to use loops extensively to learn about song structure (removing all concern over what was being played it made examining the overall song easier). These days I might use some percussion loops where they make sense, but I far prefer playing as many instruments as I can wherever and whenever I have the time.
Producer packs are usually open to use….but Ellie Dixon’s pack IS NOT…
Take a Day Trip’s doesn’t seem to be either.
make sure to read each producer packs description thoroughly before using its contents in your own “commercial” aimed releases. Some are only for private use.
Seems weird that this would be the case…but it actually is with some packs. Sorry to be the rain in a parade…but I wouldn’t want to see any of you caught up in litigation over a misunderstanding. Always read deeper in each sample pack, I have been finding a lot of this lately when dealing with samples…and even AI created material.
All?
I thought that a few of the Producer's Packs were limited.
I’d be interested to see what you find.
Yes, but that’s a complete song that was composed by someone. Not individual loops. So that’s completely fair.
But, you can break these bricks apart and put them back together in any way you want. They don’t need to be kept in their delivered form. Then they really do become your own.
Ah, OK. Thanks for the clarification.
So, you could use "stems" from this song legally or not?
Regarding using loops, they're useful to me for learning how to, say, build a melody, harmonies, how to build a convincing percussive groove, etc. Using them as reference so I can make my own stuff.
I used to use percussive loops back in my FL Studio days, but those loops were a bit of a bitch to fit into a mix seamlessly. 😂 Especially since the loops were built to sound PHAT rather than "underwhelming" (where "underwhelming" fits into a mix much better than "phat").
Of course ymmv.
I just don’t download the questionable packs…safe is better than sorry
That might be the case if you made a piece of music from a single loop, but that’s not how most people work.
If we invalidate loops as a recognized way of making music we should discard some works by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Brian Eno, The Beatles, Robert Fripp, Delia Derbyshire, etc.
I don’t think it’s down to any of us as individuals to determine whether a person is creating something or not when they use a particular approach to making music.
Maybe. Since this is offered as a copyrighted song, it’s possible individual elements are also custom and not standard Apple loops. If you use any part of this in a commercial release you might be OK, or you might face legal problems.
I've heard that you can use the loops and monetize your compositions from it, but if you're not the first to distribute that song with those loops, you will possibly get a copyright claim from the person who distributed it before you did.
@HarlekinX give DJ Shadow’s Introducing a listen.
The strong trend of these packs to a very limited range of style signals an assumed preference that is being intensely marketed, and marketed to... and has nothing whatever to do with mine, rendering them, and the platform which seems designed around them, kind of useless.
I'm beginning to think it's really time to let that subscription go.
What are these words supposed to tell me?
