Hello, i recently did a 1hour 20 somethin mix and I’m curious where i could upload it for free and without it getting taken down for copy rights n ish like that? I was looking at the Beatport DJ Mixes site and I’m curious as to how that works, i have tracks not from Beatport and i am wondering how the actual process works because i was reading multiple forum topics surrounding the terms and conditions of uploading mixes to Beatport but with so many negative opinions and big legal words i am now lost and more confused about it.
So Basically my question about Beatport is, can i upload a mix that has music not purchased from Beatport and if i did upload it anyway would it get taken down for any reason?
Also im am in NOOO way Looking to make a profit off any of my mixes, i just want to upload my sets and have them available for download to anyone who wants it.
And one more thing I’ve tried uploading a mix i did on my iPod and made an account with sound cloud to upload it but i got an email like a minute after i uploaded it saying it had copy righted material and it got taken down.
I wasn’t aware that sound cloud did that but ya just thought i’d mention that.
it could have been that someone reported it
or
a label has already contacted them, stating they do not want any mixes containing a particular set of songs owned by the label
posted onto the site
i have recently been getting into a lot of information about soundcloud and mixcloud, and its not a good thing i have been finding
Sorry, yes thats what i mean. soundcloud has some shazam type algorythm that scans tracks while they are uploading. in my case, the mix was already up for over 6 months, must have been when they first start doing it. it was because of Vangelis’ “Opening Credits” from bladerunner.
Basically if you use commercial tunes, you just have to take your chances with soundcloud or use another service.
because the law says if you are UPLOADING, you are doing an act of distribuiting
When you distribute something, its the action of you moving it AWAY from your location to someone elses.
So i guess in laymen s terms, the rule still applies
It’s the first track that gets tagged on Soundcloud in my experience. Alter it in someway or fade it in and that will usually fix it. I’ve had several get tagged and they aren’t commercial tracks in any sense of the word, some aren’t even signed to a label. There’s also Mixcrate by the way.
