LSS masterclass n.3
Everything You Need to Know About Sampling
A one day masterclass to talk about copyright, sample clearance, sampling techniques, and much more, with examples and practical demonstrations taken from real life and commercially released tracks.
This lecture is a must for any producer or musician who creates sample-based music, but it's also highly recommended for anyone else involved in music, such as journalists, writers, record company executives, software developers, teachers, and anyone interested in the impact that sampling has had on culture and society.
Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to put this class on hold. As soon as a new date is available it will be announced here.
Prospective students who paid the course fee for this Masterclass can obtain a full refund or use the credit for another course. For more info call 020 7720 6183.
