How many of you actually use samples in your music. I'm just curious. I haven't since the mid nineties. If you want your music to be used in any other kind of media other than just releasing it on vinyl, you already had to clear all samples. No advertisment, commercial or theatrical producers will use any music without full licensing of samples and from my experience even if I did have the licenses they would shy away from my tracks that had samples. I guess because they didn't trust me. :)
Either way , because of that I stopped a long time ago and really haven't missed it. I do sample the hell out of myself and my environment. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas D.
