Its metaphorical, you are only 3 months in, we have been doing this for a couple decades. In beatmaking terms, you are a youngin, even if not physically. We are ancient mofos, Im not literally calling you a child bro.
I would assume that mixcloud had their legal team sort that out with the publishers. It wasnt really that many years ago that the PRS in the UK got control of this in the UK, banning work places that didnt buy a license from them to play music in the workplace.
Every country is different as...
When you send an mp3 to a radio stations you are giving them the right to make a copy by sending it, if you dont own the rights to do so, then its you in the wrong. Sites like mixcloud run through organisations like the PRS to make sure the artists get paid from the plays. When you submit songs...
The transient isnt hitting at all, seems more like bassline than kick. No punch, all boom. But like you say, great vibe, would be better with some air movement from the kick.
@DJ Excellence is becoming quite a beast and a real problem though.

If you want to sell beats you can use copyrighted material and pass the clearance onto the artist you sell the beats to. If you want to release music then you cannot.
But this is why I use tracklib, with my subscription there is no clearance fee and I just give up a percentage of income...
If I use drum loops, which is very rare, I chop them up into individual parts then reprogram them, and to be honest, in the vast majority of cases I leave them quantized. If I feel like it, I might make them a little bit more human, but more often than not I don't bother.
Instead of matching the...
I was at my local zoo the other day when I noticed a baguette in one of the cages.
I asked a keeper why it was there.
He said it was bread in captivity.
No, you’re welcome.
I had a quick listen to one of your tracks on soundcloud and thought you would come with a trap beat. As you are new and an unknown entity here in battles, I didnt want to take any chances, not knowing what to expect I brought out a big gun.
Im on a 9 win streak that just overtook my previous 7...
