Anatomy of a Sample

Anatomy of a Sample – Join AIMPNY at Hill Country for lunch and a review of the creation of a new song with a sample.  The spirited discussion will review the process of a producer/songwriter, and the further clearance of the sample by the clearance company, attorney, musicologist, music publisher and record label.  We will delve into the legalities surrounding the sample process – pros and cons of re-recording masters and how that may effect publishing rights, splits, contract requirements and registration issues.
