@@4ever4g0tten that doesn't make a difference. It's the relative differences that count. That's why if you cover a song in a different key you still have to pay up/get permission.

Fantastic video, my dude! I am about to have quite a few cover chunes out myself ( anime as well lol 😂). So this was a big help! As always, I love seeing when you pop up on my feed and miss you on Twitch, man! Stay Creative L.Dre 🤙
thank you, MR L Dre, I was pondering making synth-wave remixes of my favourite anime of all time DragonBall Z, from the Bruce Falcner team scores as well as the original Japanese scores. this will help mea ton. you are the man 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video! I will be using these tips! One great optioins for audio to midi iis Samplab. I have found it to be pretty accurate though it is not always like magic.
Thank you bro for this tip. God bless you on this musical journey. I'm glad you are doing your best to be ethical. God bless you and your fam always! 🙂🙏🏻❤
Damn L. Dre thanks for this video I was having hard time with ableton by that walkthrough of easy piano I was doing on op-z mad sequencer but you opened that door for me into ableton
OMG THANK YOUUUUU i was literally now finding this and googling everywhereee and was afraid that if i do it i would get copyrighted THANK YOU SO MUCH BROOO!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
ableton uses fourier transformation and complex math to extrapolate midi from wav. remember that in a polyphonic wav file you have all the frequencies and overtones of not just one note (that would mean a chord where there is just a single line) BUT many notes on top of each other. a full arrangement. thats why its hundreds of attacks (midi note on) and hundreds of "wrong notes" on top (overtones). peace
levis choice, love it. AOT is the best anime, you are right! ^^ Funny, yesterday I covered one last kiss by nge anime and I made it exactly as you did.
Alternate ways could be sampling the piano cover, and then using the Melody to Midi feature in Ableton, or daw of choice, adjusting the notes if needed. Or simply looking for/downloading the midi of the song you want to use. Although learning to play a song seems more fun, but I bet is time consuming.
You should try out Melodyne to capture the midi notes and key of the sample. it is one of the most accurate softwares that just makes production easy without bombarding you with so many notes like ableton😂.
Hey L.Dre, I just got an M1 Mac and wasn’t sure how I would be able to connect a midi controller when I’m on the go. Is there a thunderbolt 4 cable that connects to midi keys? Or would I have to get something like a usb hub to make it work?
Careful out there, for any cover or remix it depends on the artist, some will aggressively strike the channel (lots of rock bands like eagles , iron maiden , guns and roses etc) are known to do this. Those strikes count and threaten the channel too. Also check the laws in your country, there's a weird law in the UK regarding cover songs, if you are making a cover with lyrics, you are only allowed to keep the original structure you can not change the order. Also you need to acquire a mechanical license to release it officially (distrokid will sort out the last bit for you though)
@Bthelick - Could you then answer my question as L.Dre might be too busy at this moment in time - If I did a cover that was originally an instrumental and I wrote a song to it, how do I go about releasing it and would I now be a writer or would ALL the publishing go to the original songwriter? The company I use to release song are CD Baby. What would I need to do in order to release the track so it can be purchased digitally by the general public? What steps would you take?
@@xl1524 Good question, this is messy situation. ( Bear in mind I can only speak for the typical approaches taken in the UK and US. ) First of all CDBaby no longer allows cover songs (that's why I recommend Distrokid) If you still want to release through CDbaby then you will have to manually source a mechanical licence. this involves getting permission from every original writer on the track and also the publisher(s) BUT before I go into that I don't think your situation is a "cover", what you are describing here is more of a remix situation. Technically you are adding composition/writing to the original yes, but the copyright systems are not well placed to handle this, so typically this would be classed as a remix. what usually happens in a remix is you are paid a flat fee to remix and all publishing (writing) royalties go to the original artist and all recording royalties to whoever paid for the remix. You still need permission from every song writer involved. In your case as this might not be an 'official' commissioned remix , if they do give permission and no other agreement is required, then you may get to keep your streaming /sales revenue (recording royalties) if the recorded remix is entirely your work (meaning no samples used). If you used any of original instrumental and you can't convince the original writers to make a new recording and release it as a new collab or ft. then that is just like any other sampling case, you need permission and you will not be elidable for either writing or recording royalties usually (again all dependent on what agreements are made with writers, publishers and labels) More likely though if a big publisher or label is involved there will want an agreement in place beyond just the permission , which will usually result in them taking all royalties anyway. Or it might just not be possible as most recording contracts I see these days from big labels forbid remixes not commissioned by themselves. You can use discogs or wiki to find the original writers and publishers credited. (cdbaby don't allow remixes either btw )
@@BthelickMany thanks for your reply. I have replayed all the instruments and added vocals... I was hoping to release this, adding vocals to what was originally just an instrumental...
Thank you for the valuable information!! Much appreciated! So I guess any remixes featuring the original artist vocals are a hard no for any spotify/apple music/amazon etc. unless it's an offcial authorized remix (-__-) Damn, and I was hoping to use my Bad Bunny remixes to try and gain a spotify audience... So much for that idea...

The company I use to release song are CD Baby. What would I need to do in order to release the track so it can be purchased digitally by the general public? What steps would you take?
Question: I wanna do a cover song. I recorded everything pretty much the same way as the original song (all done by me. No sampling or anything), but i changed the lead melody in the beginning of the song because i didnt like the original that much. And changed the vocal melody a bit as well. But every other instrumental is the same as the original. Do you think that'd be okay to upload to distrokid under a cover song? To spotify? Or should i just keep that on youtube maybe?
Hey man, Thanks a lot for this video! So that means if I upload for example a remix of Rihanna that is recognizable and I upload it *ONLY* on TH-cam, I won't get into trouble? I actually made one and was too scared to upload bcs of this things, was never really clear for me, I mean do I have to be aware of anything or can I just straight upload it?

Distrokid is solid, yet, have you considered Soundrop for covers? .99 cents per release which includes covers. No recurring payment. They do take %15 but still, no recurring payment
Yo this video was amazing and so helpful! Quick question. The $1/month is that per song too? Or $12/year and I can upload multiple covers. Thanks again!
Yeah it's per song, so it can get really expensive if you release multiple covers. An alternative would be soundrop, which takes a flat fee of 1$ once, and that's it. Btw, never used soundrop, just heard of them, so do your research 😅
do you know how producers use guitar loops legally and effectively, i haven't seen any good videos on the topic. i just wanna use guitars but i don't know how to manipulate them to work for me
Hi Dre Say for instance I start to make my own remixes of my favorite copy written music and use it for my online content creation. I’m making money from creating my content, and just needed the copy written music to go with what I do. That’s not making money from the music in that case, correct? That’s just using the remixed music as one of my content tools, correct? Again, the purpose of my content is to create income, yet I want to apply the remixed music to it. Thank you for your help!
I'm just curious, if your song is a cover but a parody as you've changed lyrics, is that still a cover? If you know. I'm assuming yes, or at the very least parodies are legal as far as I know. But i'm wondering if the Cover option here could be used for thAT
So with releasing your own cover, can you sing the exact melody or does it have to be changed up a little bit? And could you make a remix but record your own vocals then release it? I see lots of artists doing that, for example someone did Ellie Goulding hardstyle remix with someone else’s vocals. Thanks for the amazing vid 🔥
My biggest concern is that I don't know if I can monetize my covers on youtube. It's very hard to know how to do it the right way. When you send your music through distrokid or landr how can I link my youtube video with my audio from distrokid? I'm an aspiring cover artist and I have hundreds of covers I wan't to make, but I don't know how to find the right answers for my questions. Does anybody can help?
2 things can happen if you don't: 1) lil Nas X or 2) Juice Wrld. lil Nas X bought a beat from Online beat maker YoungKio for old town road. That beat contained an illegal sample of a Nine Inch Nails track, when NiN approached YoungKio & lil Nas , they agreed to wrong doing , and all agreed to cut in NiN on the track and everyone was happy. Juice Wrld sampled Sting for Lucid Dreams (the main loop no less) but refused to give credit , got his ass sued, and lost all revenue / royalties. do the right thing kids. Just clear it first , take it from me you don't wanna be in court instead of making music, its the must stressful, least creative, energy draining and financially draining situation you'll ever face. not worth it at all.
Made a remix which is popular for non profit. However someone stole the audio and released it without copyright license. I am now struggling to get it taken down as I don’t own the copyright either. Any suggestions, so far I have reported to RIAA as they allow you to report without being owner/agent.
thanks so much for these videos, they really help me understand the behind the scenes stuff and i love getting to see your creative process as well #abletongang
Great advice. However, I noticed you didn’t do this for your Christmas Sno-fi album. You are credited as the writer for tracks like “white Christmas” etc 🤷♂️ I’m surprised that’s not been flagged…
Did I understand it right.. so we can replay a melody and use them in our stuff without some copyright problems but we aren't allowed to use the vocals?

Covers like this is something i feel AI will learn to make very good, and very soon "it is already here, but need a better UI", to a level human versions will never be "needed" .. Where making music from scratch will be a way bigger problem for AI. When i say that covers for AI is almost here, i dont mean that AI will make hits every time, not at all, i just mean that AI will come so close to hits that a human very easy can listen to 20 AI made covers and pick best parts from those and make one final super cover with very little music making skillz, only good taste. AI will not remove humans from good music making, but will change how we make music, 100% sure.
I have a doubt umm pls respond ok so are we allowed to make a remix for like our personal uses like we have a program in my school and i have an amazing idea but like should we take permission or something like that from the artist but i won't post it on youtube so like am i allowed to do it or no just asking i just have less time and i am trying to do a song for credits at the last like Tokyo drift remix and remix it mine like DJ horn and the song and i will take care of other stuff but pls let me know reply ok? just tell me if i can use it for personal uses or will i get in trouble. THANK YOU. @L.Dre
