Hi folks, have seen a lot of videos on this subject but still find it a little confusing. Until recently I was using Splice to download the occasional sample to help with inspiration, until I started seeing videos discussing the potential pitfalls of using Splice samples . As I understand it, if someone happens to use for example a splice loop and manages to make a full commercial track from this, then I use the same sample (whether it is the whole loop or part of it) as a paying Splice customer - I will encounter potential copyright issues (basically because the other dude used the 'royalty free sample' first)?
If this is true, does this also extend to things like MPC Expansion packs which might have very distinctive loops / sounds as part of the pack, if someone makes a commercial track from one of these expansions and I want to also use this sound from the same expansion pack which I have paid for, I might run into problems if I plan to release a track with the same sounds?
And if this is also true, where does it end? Can I use instrument one shots?
Thank you in advance all and apologies if this has been covered.
