There isn’t a debate here.

The loops in Garage Band are royalty free. What Polow did is absolutely correct. He won’t pay for the sample.

By buying the Apple PC or MAC you get Garage Band + Presets / Samples. That makes you the owner of the preset. You paid for it. Therefore, for Polow, he used something he bought and made a good beat out of it. Don’t hate the player, hate the fact that some of you didn’t think of it sooner or didn’t release a track with the same sample.

It’s like Pharrell from The Neptunes. All his sounds are samples from his Korg(if i stand correct) keyboard. Same rules apply.

Peace!!! Btw. I’m a music producer so I know.

If you didn’t know. All samples bought from FL studio (for example) are yours!!! Do what you like (And you won’t pay for sample clearance).

No hate just facts

1) NEVER shit on Fl Studio. That program is DDDDDOPE!!! hint: you have to use your own sounds and vsts though…

2) What yall aren’t seeing is that. It is not like he put these loops together creatively. They were MADE TO GO TOGETHER by someone else! Euro hero synth 1, 2, and 3 or whatever. Those loops are right by each other in the browser. Polow sucks for this. It is not legally wrong, but it is WEAK! He lost cred for this PERIOD…

3) This is NOT the same as sampling. Kanye takes TIME to craft beats and dig for and chop samples. Obviously Polow does not. Did he make six figs for that shit? YES. Am I happy for him? YES. Am I mad at him? NO. He ain’t doing shit that swiss did not already do (which makes it all the more weak in my opinion).

4) And for those of you saying, “yall just mad cause ya’ll didn’t find those sounds and use em.” Shut yo dumb ass up… Nobody uses those presets as they are becuase that is well known to be some weak shit for a talented producer to do…

You don’t like what I am saying, them shove it up your ass…

#31!!! for your info…protools is nice..once you learn all the how tos, but reasons? hot sounds boo boo program. I have fl 8 and with my own after market programs runnin in it, my tweaks, and knowledge of the program it shits on cubase, garage band, reasons, or whatever you got to throw at me. I also have two akai mpcs in there too.

and yo real talk, polow got 6 figures for that track…we downloaded the loops today and made a harder beat..I WANT A CHECK THAT SIZE haha. in my eyes dude lost credibility as a leading producer in the game.

I just have a problem because when producers flip a sample (and I work with a producer who does pretty frequently), they have to give up a certain percentage of they’re publishing to the original owners of the sample (obviously). Polow is “flipping a sample,” so to speak, but he doesn’t have to give up any front end, back end, or any publishing because all those garageband loops are fair use. He may have the ears to come up with the beat concept – but it’s pretty cheap to do so using apple preset loops. It may not be legally “wrong,” but in my mind it’s ethically wrong. The only fallback for Polow would be one of discredit on the streets or within the industry. I can’t even count how many times I’ve heard a garageband or reason factory loop used in commercials, soundtracks, and songs. In my mind, I already think of the “writer” as uninspired, unoriginal, and lacking creativity. There is a certain style, grace, and elegance when a producer pays homage to an old school artist and flips their song. In doing so, the new school is recognizing the old school, and paying respect as well as royalties. The listeners, the streets, and the industry all recognize that act, and respect the producer for innovating something old.

Polow just grabbed a loop and called it his own. Whack.

You will not find him in any industry magazine thanking garageband for providing inpsirato.
