They had to pull it off market later, but you can still use the samples and then blame Roland big_smile

Early sample cd's did the same: Loads of un-licensed breakbeat samples. These days i use mostly Splice as sample source.

Usually samples library copyright are there so you don't resale the samples as is.

I think they’re expecting me to distribute via a label or distrokid or something where there's some sort of streaming fee attached as opposed to just posting on a website for free.

How do people navigate this for their weekly tracks? Or is it best just to avoid crate-diving-style sampling for this challenge?
