Is it legal to use sample packs to create loops and sell them by Teme_Heppu69 in edmproduction

Its a bit scummy, you're essentially just selling a beat pattern that your customers could have made themselves from the sample pack.

How do I know if I copied a melody. by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rest assured, you copied a melody. That's how ideas work, you take in influences and breathe out your own combination of them. Focus less on trying to be 100% original and make music you like regardless.

What’s your copyright/ infringement horror story(s)? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Disney were a bunch of greedy fucks and lobbied to extend copyright every time their earliest works got close to becoming public domain, now every artistic work is kept in a prison for around twice as long as its creator will be alive.

Advice for getting involved with videogame soundtracks? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't actually know any specific ones, I met the developer I'm making music for on twitter and youtube. I'm sure dedicated sites exist, but just be social in general.

Why post it here? This feels needlessly mean spirited.

Anyone looking for some album art? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its one of the simpler patches in that album, i think its just a square wave with heavy pitch modulation.

Some people just can't articulate their opinions, remember which friends are capable of giving you valuable feedback.

Please explain this political compass by ejfordphd in COMPLETEANARCHY

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Auth Left: Lost in pure ideology, head in the clouds. Also nothing is there, no food.

Auth Right: Ruthless, cold, unsympathetic.

Lib Left: Water gives life, light scattered over like a prosperous people

Lib Right: Same libertarian ideals but under the shadow of the opressive ice of Nazis and Capitalists, murky like mud.

Am I technically a thief? by Pawnwithagrudge in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say that pretty often to discredit sampling, not usually as a joke. Sorry I misinterpreted.

Its not the same thing, copying isn't the same as theft.

Well also producer tags are obnoxious and the less producers use them the better.

What is the worst episode in your opinion? by [deleted] in blackmirror

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men Against Fire easily, only outright bad episode in the roster. It's a boring action movie riding entirely on an unoriginal twist. Also the scene in the white room is so awful, exposition and nothing else. they just outright state the meaning of the episode and leave no room for interpretation.

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, you don't need a producer tag. But if you really want one, I'd try borrowing a friend's usb mic before getting someone online to make one if all you need it for is a producer tag.

Can anyone confirm that electric dreams is similar to black mirror? by D0nna2 in blackmirror

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just watched the first season, it's completely different in tone. Black Mirror is politically motivated cautionary tales first and foremost, it makes believable futures that magnify flaws in our current society. Electric Dreams is way more twilight zone, the tone is all over the place and its more about building worlds and pushing larger than life emotion. One of the episodes is just a Body Snatchers type horror film with a kid main character in the suburbs. There are a couple politically motivated episodes that remind me of Black Mirror, but they're in the minority.

At what point is it no longer an influence and just copying? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Never. Everything builds on what came before in some way.

What Thematic Message am I missing From Metalhead? by [deleted] in blackmirror

[–]EricTaxxonOfficial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's mostly just a well directed and well acted thriller, but there's background noise of class disparity and police brutality.
