Love the channel and the content. Thank you for all your hard work. It’s very much appreciated
Thank you!
Hey ! Thanks for that video ! If after a year I'd like to stop paying the 12$ per year (I assume I have this option), will the song will be remove from streaming services ?
Yes. They remove it. You can leave a legacy 30$ I think, and delete your card. Then they will keep it up. I contacted customer service, if you still want the account though, you still need to pay 12$ pr year on top of that.. so it only really works when you step down and delete your card. At least thats what I was told by customer support.
Several years ago, I recorded and produced (as well as played all the instruments and "sang" on) a cover of Gary Numan's "M.E." I never released it, because I was concerned about the copyright issues. But now that I know this... lol
what about for youtube videos please?
House of The Rising Sun and Amazing Grace are "traditionals", right? No modern songwriter to pay? Great video, thanks!
Great info. Question: Regarding sampling…if you do a cover of a known song using the exact same “karaoke” like background music as the original…is that allowed? Or is that considered sampling…. I am also referring to apps that remove the vocals so that you can record your own voice using the original tracks minus the original voice...
It would be classed as a remix I think so not allowed.
I am also referring to apps that remove the vocals so that you can record your own voice using the original tracks minus the original voice…would this be a remix too?
I need this because I’ve been paying $12.99 per year to license 😅
Is there a difference if I make/play the music of the original song vs using the original instrumental?
If you use any of the original recording, that's considered a sample or remix. It's only a cover if you (or your group) perform all of the music yourselves.
@@Pushing_Pixels but legally wise whats the difference?
@@JaviyEve It would require a different kind of licence, that is harder to get and more expensive. When you create your own performance of a song, that is different to the original, only the songwriters and possibly the publisher would need to get paid and receive credit. When you use an original recording, a lot more people are involved, such as other performers, any session musicians, the record label and also the producers. It's a much more complex situation.

$1 a month for the rest of your life!?
Yep. Bargain.
@@TheGaragebandGuide even after you die? lol
If you're dead, it won't matter. Still a bargain..! lol@@bitkahuna
