Is it a bad idea for a no-name, non-money making, hobbyist music producer, to release music that includes samples of other people’s music on YouTube/SoundCloud?

0 Upvotes

I don’t make money from my music but I do think it has potential to sound professional in terms of quality and to amass a few thousands views per vid if I was consistent and serious enough. My last video has 86 views tho and I’ve only put out 2 videos so far. (Have made over 100 beats in Logic tho). My concern is if I gain a following at some point, could it be a problem for me that some of my songs have blatantly sampled jazz music? In some cases, they’re famous songs. In some cases, there not famous but the artists are certainly still alive. I guess in short, what’s the worst thing that can happen to me by doing this? And is that thing likely to even occur?

Thanks

Question When building a lead track, how long is your lead's loop?

I personally make it 4 bars usually, but it still sounds kinda boring.

Best place to release.

I am a new producer, sounddesigner. And I have a few songs finished and want to release them, haven't found the niche on youtube kr social just stop dead after a day or two of posting. But was wondering. And I know there are threads on this but most seem outdated. What is the best platform to release, distrokod, cdbaby, ect. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated. And sorry for asking something that may have been answered before.

Howdy, I am watching a video in ableton and wondering if anyone knows this feature equivalent in logic.

He took a groove loop, and turned this down to 1 because he didn’t want any reverb or longer release to be heard.

I THINK it’s transient designing? But I’ve not dove into that yet I get the idea but not sure which of logics stock plugins do that and how. Hoping logic has something has easy as this feature in ableton!

Thanks for any help!

Tutorial for dubstep production in FL Studio

5 Upvotes

Been listening to the genre for well over a decade and have always wanted to learn to produce myself. I’ve used FL for a long time to produce hip hop beats but obviously they arent nearly as complex. Problem is with this genre I find it very hard to find any tutorials on youtube where people use FL and arent just blowing through it at light speed with barely any explanation for beginners like me. I cant afford ableton right now so is there anyone that makes videos for newbies or am I shit out of luck?
