Sampling music in the digital era requires little more than a personal computer, software, and access to audio files. Choose digital audio workstation (DAW) software. Import a music file. Cut out a brief excerpt of the audio file. Loop your sample. Repeat as needed.
Clearing a sample If you include a sample of someone else's music in your own work, then you need to get permission to use it. There are two bits of copyright that you need to clear and, in many cases, neither of these will be owned by the artist who performed the track.
Sampling music is legal, as long as you get permission for the sample usage from the original artists, writers, and copyright owners. Music is protected by copyright law, so reusing any portion of music—no matter how short or long—needs to be cleared and licensed.
The artist asks permission to sample the copyrighted music in a new song. To get these sample clearances, you will first need to find the copyright owners of the song and master recording. Sampling music requires two sample clearances: Clearance from the copyright owner of the song, typically the music publisher.
Contact the publisher to obtain permission. Get the name of the person you talk with. Tell them you seek to obtain a mechanical license for a song or songs they control. Follow-up with a letter, and make sure you receive written permission before proceeding.
In general, the permissions process involves a simple five-step procedure: Determine if permission is needed. Identify the owner. Identify the rights needed. Contact the owner and negotiate whether payment is required. Get your permission agreement in writing.
