Use of Pre-Existing Audio Loops

Good point, the only problem will be, that its a matter of “knowing” all the out of the box loops. Better said, sad for the ones who get caught ( it’s the same in the real world ehhh ? )

Well, other sites are even more strict about this. On Newgrounds you get permanent ban for “Duplo Music”.
Maybe you should point out what programs NOT to use.
JamGlue should not be used.
Musicshake should not be used.
Loop Labs should not be used.
And the list can go on…

Not to say also that many of the loop based software put the created material under their own license !!!
You can get in big trouble by trying to sell.

I hear you but we have to be realistic on the other hand. Today you can hear in allmost every track ( radio airplay / advertisement sountracks / and even movie scores ) a certain amount of samples or synth presets. We have also a large library of sounds from all sources in our studio and they get used frequently. Sometimes you start with a idea from there and at the end when the track is done, nothing of this samples remain. Im quite sure, that most of the compositions ( at least the “synthesized” ones ) on AudioJungle uses some kind of samples/presets. I think its ok that way as long as a sound / track / score sounds nice and works, using samples means not necesarely that your creation is a fake or not a “real” composition. Curious how many of the “orchestral” sound sounds on here have been recorded by the producer Regarding the copyright of samples, most of the times if you buy a library you can use it in your commercial tracks as long as you do not us any of the sounds isolated. Why would someone buy a sample library if he cannot use it ? Even if they are remarkable loops and stuff , read the small print, as Scott said

Copycats are boring, but the digital age is full of copies …... who knows when something is realy original and not allready been taken from somewhere else ( even a osc/filter/lfo etc. is a “preset” )

MOST IMPORTANT “have fun” with what you’re doing :)))))

You didn’t read the blog post, did you ?
Man, there is nothing wrong with presets. A preset mean a certain synth sound, it’s like using an instrument. You can’t tell to all piano players to use different piano sound, they all play piano.

There is nothing wrong also with “note by note samples”, like a bank of sounds of acoustic instruments which you can play “note by note” on your MIDI keyboard.

What is really wrong is using looped phrases.
You might stumbled upon some “construction kits” that offer a bass loop of 8 bars, a drum loop of 8 bars, a synth line of 8 bars. All you have to do is to put those together. Some people are stupid enough to call that their own music.

Hope you got the idea.

Sure i did read the blog and do agree in terms of creating a databse with unique and quality music. Its just a bit strange i can hear so many samples on this plattform, and therefore its a bit as i said in the beginning “get caught or not” is only a matter of knowing all the loops and samples out there as reviewer. And i still think, just because i use maybe a sampled orchestra sound ( where else should i get it from ), does not mean its not unique track or a bad and uninspired piece of music. Whatever, i think we can argue and philosofize until the end of the world is near

A wise man once said : “There are just 2 type’s of music, the ones i like and the ones i don’t”

So, i accept the rules on here for sure, but i also use the forum
