SP-FORUMS

Pretty expensive plus i'd have to ship to the UK! Those black ones would like nice on the SX tho i reckon

Looks awesome man, nice work!

Was browsing eBay last week and a 202 from a UK seller came up in full working condition at a resonable price so couldn't resist!

I now have a 202, 303 and 404sx. Can't wait to get to grips with it. Any good tips for first time users? Think I've picked up most stuff already from using the 303 and ...

Same. I had listened to 'Welcome to Detroit' and although I liked it I couldn't fully understand the hype...and then I listened to Donuts a few months later...

The difference between Soundcloud and spotify is that when you create a soundcloud account (a free account, not a premium account) you aren't collecting royalties. People are basically listening to your music for free. the moment you decide to collect royalties, legalities play more of a factor ...

I still sample regardless. I still try to look for obscure samples instead of something real popular... you can't upload directly to these streaming platforms, you have to go through a third party distribution company and if you don't have the paperwork and catch you violating their copyright ...

after reading above that's what I'm thinking too. Some useful info here, thanks all!

Yeah man that's why I was so confused.

I mean no disrespect to those guys I love all the beat artists I listen to, but why would so many small labels be backing them if they are having to face a massive payout before they even release an album or EP...and the hassle of having to contact all the ...

yeah I was thinking the same. A lot of them must just chance it.

Seems risky to me but can imagine the labels only go after the big guns who they know can cough up $$$ if they get sued.

I've been listening to a ton of beat artists on Spotify in the new year, and it dawned on me...is every single artist clearing all the rights to their samples?

I was looking at rough costs and apparently around $200 per sample is a rough benchmark no matter the length. Added to this, apparently it ...

Youtube is a goldmine for samples but you have to accept that everyone is digging down the same routes and finding the same stuff as you. Record shops are the way to go to find rare samples but it takes a lot more time and effort...and money...

If you are digging in a record shop either take a punt ...

awesome, thanks a lot everyone for the feedback - 303 it is for me now!

Will have to start looking around

ah nice, thanks man! Yeah Ive heard about the vinyl sim on the 303.

I've sold myself on the idea of getting another SP for bouncing etc, but wanted to know your opinions...which one should I go for?

I have an SX so have been thinking either a straight 404 or a 303, or maybe even just another SX?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

again same thing man, just use the software you can get free of the Roland website. It lets you assign any sample to any pad you wish.
