Sampling Question !

[Thuun]

Hello !
I have a legal question for the lot of you.
There are lots of sounds I hear in movies that I would like to use and/or fuck with in my tracks.

Main question is if this is legal or not, Im sure there are ways to record your desktop audio should I pop a dvd in..

secondary question is if anyone has any suggestions for how to do this.. right now I have a feedback loop on my audio interface, output fed to input..

Thanks dubstepforum

Vocal / speech samples that are noticable, watch yourself.

Cinematic stuff/ steling strings / explosions/ ect... meh...

What Basic A is TRYING to say ( ) is any sound recording you use without permission is illegal, it all comes down to how obvious it is. If it's an explosion or cinematic stuff, i doubt they'd even notice where it was from, unlike a quote from... Toy story.

unless you and your mix become REALLY popular and you make a lot of money off of it...

you will be fine

Thanks guys ;}
Im more about the sound effects than lines of speech anyways

[FSTZ]

you'll be fine

wors case scenario they serve you with a cease and dissist order

only after you get really popular

Also, iIf it gets signed, most bigger labels will tell you it's up to you to clear the samples, or not have any at all. That's where mangling/editing/re-recording comes in, especially with sung vocals from an acapella.
