New member, first post. Hopefully I wont embarass myself too much, ha. I'm a low level producer working on developing a sound. Working mainly with Logic and Audition. While I've got a demo and am shopping for a label, I'm keeping momentum up and choosing which records to sample moving forward.
My question is about clearance requests and how best to approach an artist. Go through their management, label, if they're small enough/local enough - contact them directly?
Has anyone had any experience with this, perhaps even going so far as to getting extracted samples from the original track.
Keep in mind I'm personally considering requesting clearance from an artist on an independent record label (granted a label thats moderately known, has major distribution, but still independent). I'm not going to drop names on what I'm working on or who the artist is I'm going to request music clearances from but was more looking to start a dialog about the procedures: do's and dont's.
I'd love to hear your story, or links to experiences already posted about.
