Re: remixing/licensing

okay, there's a short story behind this question. i recently entered a remix competition for a record label that wants to put out hi-nrg trance/dance music. there have been about 20 entries submitted so far, the majority of which have fitted the labels preferenes. even though hi-nrg dance is their ultimate goal, the label asked for entries from all genres of dance music to be submitted. i dont produce trance, i guess if i had to define what style of music i make i would have to call it percussionistic-acid-electro-house??? so....now for the question. i feel that my remix is pretty good. its actually the first track ive ever made which i kinda like as i have the habit of deleting all my stuff after a week or two cuz i begin to hate it!!! the only thing i used from the original track was the vocal, everything else i composed with my studio. whether or not my remix is the best of those submitted im not even going to begin to speculate, however, even if it were i dont feel as if i would win the contest because of the differences in my style and that which the record label is looking for. so....my question is if i feel my track is good enough to promote to other labels as a single, could i do so legally using the vocals from another track? would i have to get written permission from the label or producers in order to do this or would i have to pay some big bucks??? hey for all i know i may win the contest, but im not counting on it. i just want someone house-minded to hear my track cuz i feel it really may go somewhere. |
hand a copy over to a few connected individuals, if they'll like it and they truely are connected, they might hook you up with a bootleg deal, which isnt worth much, but it'll get your track out there
good luck
