Sorry, I wasn't too clear, but I sampled a video game song from an OST of megaman X. I chopped two 5 second loops and actually had about 5 seconds of the unchopped composition play out at the end. Come to find out that the master i sampled was a remake by Jarel Jones. The original was composed by 4 japanese artists (I have their names), published under Capcom. Is this all the information needed to get the sample cleared? I am 18 and this is my first sale to a major record label and i absolutely do not wanna get F*CKED in any way. Also I've seen a lot of your posts around too man, if you have any contracts that could help me out (as far as royalties and making it the label's responsibility to clear samples) it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I don't know any info about all that stuff but I just wanted to tell you congrats man. Major move!
