There is one reason alone that I try to not sample and just compose, because I cannot release what I have sampled. Im not paying thousands of pounds to clear a sample, aint happening, not on my watch.

This is the reason iv started to learn the piano, i just want to be in the zone and come up with original melodies. Though, when i sample, i listen to the melody and recreate it, add some effects, put a spin on it and it doesnt sound like the original sample.

Another thing I would say is that one of the reason i decided to join this site is because in the year that I have been here guys seem to be really supportive of one another and give feedback and its seems a genuine unity among beat makers and producer's. I have bee apart of many sites that had thousand of active people but the whole time there's the chop sample vs original beef everyday and it was toxic and I always left. This site doesn't have that or at least not that I have seen so props for that and you guys for maintaining that standard.

Man, that is the same for me. But lately Ive been dabbling in sampling and was thinking to have them up for free download since I cant sell them at my price. My thoughts was if anyone used them its marketing for me and if they're blowing up, hopefully they invest in clearing but these days people just remake.the original feel or remake in a different key and getaway that way (stealing the Feel).

Well said mate!
Exactly, sampled beats can only be given away on mixtapes and sold to rappers on the understanding that they need to clear the samples. Which makes the beats cheap, its hard to sell beats alone as it is let alone make a living selling cheap sampled beats, its just not financially viable IMO. Especially if you are able to make original composed music that has a hip hop feel, even if its not sampled. You can release that all day and at a price that is worth the time it took to make
The quickest way to learn how melodies are put together is by copying others. Check out some midi files.
Imitation can be a great learning tool sometimes, just taking a small sample and trying to recreate it is good practice in layering melodies and counter melodies that play off of each other and keep the listener interested.
Once you can find what scale a sample is, then you can improvise within every key of that scale/mode and every key sounds right.
