    Since the topic is somewhat related, may I ask a side question please since a lot of professionals and heavy hitters from the forum are discussing ?? -

    if you upload your content, specifically music, to YT, is it “safe” if from being stolen with the built in copyright protection if you haven’t copyrighted it with the USPTO or if you haven’t registered to BMI? (Meaning the YouTube copyright they offer?)

    Content isn't safe from being "stolen".
    For instance recently an Artist has had to contest the rights on a loop.
    They had bought the loop in good faith and then it turns out that
    the seller didn't own the rights of the loop and was passing the loop off as their own work.
    What has made it even more difficult is that both parties are in separate countries.

    Like what I’m asking is, what kind of ”rights” should be observed to safeguard your work/art, etc when you upload to YT*??

    I don't know about the YouTube copyright agreements in depth
    however it does sound like they try to cover all bases.
    It has become more dranconian because of
    Music Industry Publishers Worldwide demand certain things
    so it is what is and subtle changes are always being made.
    If the agreement matches what you need then go ahead
    if it doesnt then obviously look for other outlets.

    And is it enough, or should you copyright your material before uploading , or should you do thru distrokid or cdbaby and just let them handle the legal aspect of it (and are those guys trustworthy ?)

    Definitely copyright before uploading if you can
    and also check for the copyrights for the sounds
    you use if or when you're using samples.
    At the very least credit the source.
    I do that all the time especially as I have a specific palette
    though I use Royalty free loops for the most part.

    [ i searched for recent copyright threads but I didn’t see anything recent in terms of what I’m asking, but If you want me to make a different thread I will do that so I don’t derail this, but I also didn’t think it really warrants an entire new topic since it’s not a “deep question” about opinions - it’s purely technical in a legal sense about what that “copyright license” YT offers

    I think copyright is relevant even though we're only touching the surface.

    **like if the rules are different for SoundCloud and bandcamp lmk if I should make this another topic or , but since this is @Gravitas thread I’ll defer to his reply since he’s also who I’m kinda askin lol]

    Anyway thanks

    No worries.

    PS love the ride’em videos - I love watching your hardware/drambo process unfold

    Thank you.

    Rid'em - First solo got played on a radio show last year so I was very happy about that. :smile:

    It's an interesting question by itself, but also in the sense of me wondering why you're worrying about your music being stolen, unless you're an artist/producer who's actually earning proper money from it. If you're Taylor Swift, fine. If you're Mr Bedroom Noodler who once made $5 from Bandcamp, you may be getting ideas above your station!

    I think it's important at any stage.
    Know your rights.
    A causal song from one person may turn into a hit for another.

  • Bear in mind this doesn't mean that you have to
    become immersed in Copyright Laws personally
    that's why Artists/Creators have to make good connections.

    At the very least having access to good advisers is must when you take it seriously.

    +1 exactly - everyone should want to know what their rights are, in any arena

    Thanks @Gravitas

    No problem.

    Created using only an iPhone and an iPad.

    Sound design created using dRambo and BeatMaker 3

    Visuals created using LumaFusion.

    That made me smile. :)

  • For those catching up,
    the reason why I commented with YouTube videos ealier including my own is
    to show examples of content that could easily be achieved with the usage of iOS apps.

  • Ahh yes one more thing.

    I'm only one person right now doing what I'm doing.
    No production team etc.

    That may change in the future however I need to make that clear.

    Let's carry on.

  • Since AI was mentioned and this discussion is about the future of iOS YouTubers I thought this might be of interest.

    @jo92346 posted this video using Google's LM Notebook to create a podcast about him and his music and art. Anything you want to make a podcast about, just feed Notebook a web page, a .pdf file, a text document, or even a video and it will create a podcast. Pretty cool:

    Thanks to the algorithm and my interest in AI it wasn't long until I started seeing stories about how to use Notebook LM and I thought it would be fun to try it in my latest video project:

    I know that my video certainly isn't on the same level as something a team of professional audio / video people could create, but I'm just a hobbyist. An amateur. But there are people currently making videos using AI that are professionals and they can make things by themselves that would have taken a huge team just a couple of years ago. I think in the future we'll be seeing more single person studios making content this way.

    I do wonder if Google might one day decide to leverage the thousands (if not millions) of videos to create their own text to video generator that could create a personal video based off a search query and the results. With their analytics they could use your search and web history to create the perfect influencer to sell you anything remotely related to your search. As far fetched as it might seem, I do wonder if someday there won't be any real people on YouTube, just AI influencers. I hope I'm wrong but I think it's probably not a bad idea to start a Patreon and find other means of income if that's what pays the bills.

    The usage in movies and television is huge so now that A.I technology
    is more affordable and accessible one person studios will certainly
    be making content this way for sure beyond the
    "buy my A.I made content advertised by A.I" seen on YouTube adverts.
    I dipped my toe into A.I imagery myself earlier this year both with stills and moving images.
    I immediately saw the potential for myself and many other creatives however
    I also saw the downside in regards to replacing skilled, experienced humans with A.I.
    I was on the beta for LTX Studio and using Remix AI for storyboarding for context.

    You're not far off piste with this one.
    They already have very sophiscated search engines and analytics.

    As far fetched as it might seem, I do wonder if someday there won't be any real people on YouTube, just AI influencers.

    Not that far fecthed at all.
    I've seen for myself entire A.I generated videos that appear to be humans presenting content.
    The realistic qualities of A.I imagery is improving very fast.

    I hope I'm wrong but I think it's probably not a bad idea to start a Patreon and find other means of income if that's what pays the bills.

    No, you're not wrong.

    That's why I've opened up a Ko-fi shop and now brushing
    the dust off my Pateron which I've had dormant for ages.

    Their rates are not to unreasonable either.

    It must be dynamic pricing calculations or something because the figure just dropped to $2.2K for some reason.

    I think here's the answer in the drop in figure.
    Apple are forcing Patreon to switch to subscription based payment only this coming month
    which will add extra charges for the users as Patreons need to cover their costs
    and the switch adds an extra 30% on top.

    I've annouced this in another thread which can be found here.

    https://forum.loopypro.com/discussion/62819/apple-patreon-and-subscription-based-payment#latest

    Also I was thinking to change the title of this thread to

    "iOS Youtubers and the iOS platform" to better reflect the recent changes for the forum.

    Normal copyright protections apply as soon as you create any new work of art or music. The only reason to register your work with USPTO (or BMI or any other licensing agency, for that matter) is because you are making money with your work. For the amateur musician, one shouldn't really waste time being overly concerned about such things. No one wants to steal your work unless they see it as an easy payday. Works of art by amateurs inherently means no one is getting rich. And I've dealt with copyright issues my entire working career.

    I suppose Seonn thought it relevant in regards to iOS Youtubers earning from their YouTube channels.
    iOS Youtubers are musicians after all and not just people who make tutorials and hand out giveaways.
    Another thing to take into consideration, though the iOS community has a lot of hobbyists
    there are a lot of semi-pro to professional musicians on the platform including myself.
    Some of us may find the link interesting and some may not.
    What's the issue for you?

  • In regards to content...

    I generally look at stuff like this on my downtime and sometimes I wonder if it could be done with ipads.

    In this clip the artist "Neon Vibes" makes brilliant use of live looping and the gear she has around her.

    Here's another artist "Youngr" who uses live looping to great effect (he has sold out concerts)

    especially as the iOS community has so many emulations of "real synths" and Loopy Pro for the obvious.

  • Here's another artist based in France,

    Calm yourself, you really are confrontational at every opportunity aren’t you. Not so much an ‘issue’ just that I get notified about new posts in a thread supposedly about ‘iOS Youtubers and the iOS platform’ and the posts have nothing to do with that.

    So in answer to your question, the posts are completely off topic and irrelevant.

    It’s ok now, I just unfollowed the thread. I can easily find random musicians on YouTube myself.

  • For everyone else or for those cannot make the leap,

    The content showing musicians using their gear is to try an inspire those who use iOS devices to think beyond just tutorials.
    The purpose of music apps is to create music.

    The techniques used by these Artists can be replicated uisng iDevices.
    From the synths through to live looping.

    Your point was pretty easy for me to understand, I'm sure others too. no worries.

    That Neon Vibes video is super dope, and very much similar to the vision I have for my looping setup from the looks of it. Something like that should be cake to configure sooner than later!
