Wud up everybody... quick lil questions I'm a FLStudio user, and in FL, there is a Cut itself function that makes it that, when you have a sound that a sound cant play over itself (it cuts the sound it was playing so the new sound take it's place... sorry if that's not clear...) Is there... -

I'm guessing, I'm not the only one this happens to... I make an average of a beat every day (basic structure)... and this week, I made two beats that I thought where real nice. I finally tried the cutting/rearranging sample technique. Thing is, I wanna be versatile and be able to go... -

Mixtapes...
It's a general question i just tought about DJ's do mixtapes and use commercial beats (of course, since that's what people wanna hear on a mixtape) BUT they make money out of those mixtapes. They sell them, like 5 to 10$ a piece... Is that legal? do they have a special permission since...- sYgMa
