creating and burning sample cds......

[Cold Truth]

hey, have any of you burnt your own sample cd? any of yuo know how that would be done? i am about to finish up my pc setup in the next month and was thinking about taking some of my tweaked/created sounds and burning a few disks (if its even legal to do) and selling them.... i figure with this many kids on ebay doing it, i could give it a shot myself..... and try and actually make a good one!

now i know the disks themselves would be copywritten and therefore illegal to sell on their own, as is...... but what about minor tweaks here and there, being sold as construction kits? drums should be pretty easy to do this with, but what about multisamples?

I considered the same thing some time ago, doing construction kits. My thought was that, if you mix the best drums from different places, I doubt anybody will know if you've taken their drum, nor do I think you need to worry about anybody checking. I would tweak the sounds though, apply your own style to them. I don't know about multisamples...
Let me know if you find out more...

yeah thats true no one will actually say hey thats my kick or snare stop selling it. Also if you do spend time filtering and creating new sounds off some original drums and percussions, you will end up telling yourself well ive work so hard on these should i sell out and give them up for 15 or 20 bucks on ebay? and if you plan is to raise up money for some equipment, i think that is the wrong way to go about it. I think that shit would take several years for you to raise some ends. especially with the hundreds of kids selling the same shit all the time. I really doubt any of them are making any kind of real loot. Just start making beats and sell some. 100 to 250 a pop for a starting price should be cool.

yes, but if you 1. deliver a good product, 2. provide good service, and 3. invest a little money and deliver a good promotion campaign, you could make excellent money at it. and you do not have to do it the same way everyone else does it; actually, it wasnt to raise money for equipment at all, but justto give it a shot and see how it turned out. but you can definately turn that into a full enterprise, see bangin beats and sounds4samplers...... besides, i am very pparticular about what i have got in the past, so instead cramming every sound i got into one disk for 20 bucks and selling it for 20 dollars, i would sell a disk of "underground drums" for 39.95 jut like ultimate soundbank does.... and it would have a few loops (since people buy those for some unknown reason) and maybe a very good set of around 40 hits or so.... so by selling a targeted set for more money, with a better marketing scheme, people do have a mindset of "you get what you pay for" and it would include demos of other disks i have, etc....

All power to you if you think you can make an enterprise out of it.
