Asking me "Can I remix your music?"

Posted by Xtrullor - March 2nd, 2017


Let's make something clear.

I've been getting a lot of these messages a good while now, and they are completely unnecessary.

You don't need to ask remixing permissions from people in general, especially not from me. It's an another case when you start using the music in places, particularly commercially (as in you make money with it).

If you want to know what you can do with people's music in this site, check this box out in every track's page:

When you open the "Commons Deed" link, you will be faced with basic information what you can do with it:

This is the license I tend to use the most. It varies per track, so check the box every time.

It's not that hard, people.

Sincerely,
- X

I was about to ask the same question as @FirePowerX but it turns out it's about the licensing terms. Well addressed.

Like everyone else I thought you were going to ask if you wanted to remix our stuff lol

at least theyre not asking you to actually remix their music. i have a feeling that would be even worse.

Well.. ok.

(That's just to troll)

How do you even remix somebody's work?

I'm glad you adressed this. If good ol Tommy Fap.. I mean FULP stated this, would be nice. The boxes are there for a purpose guys. Read them!

Seriously? Who would want to remix your music??? I mean, what they would remix?? Your music is too perfect to be remixed.

That's cool but,how do we do to get the stems? also X,people wanting to make remixes of your tracks doesn't mean that your songs are bad,they are AWESOME especially the new style
sincerely a fan and try of producer

Found when creating a new project
Remixes & Covers: If your song is a cover or remix, it must be done with the permission of the original artist and must not be for a song that is represented by a major label or licensing agency. We are unable to host this sort of material.
Hmm.
Are you giving your express permission to everyone on Newgrounds?
Just wanting to warn you that this seems to be what you are doing, even though it is not what Newgrounds says it is doing.

Guess so I am, it never really has been a norm to ask permissions for remixes in general, unless you are dealing with highly secured licensed music.

Cool, I'm thinking of remixing Jnana or I like your face once i get better at making dubstep and orchestral music, so i will be sure to keep thin in mind :D

You should collab with Geoplex. Collabing with Spaze was also a great idea, too bad he didn't want to...

Your music is so good, that I listen to it in my sleep. Literally. I have a CD with some of my favorite songs by you.

Can u tell Dex Arson on how he is doing on the collab?

Ok, but what with your song 6 to 4?

Thanks for sharing this post. I was uncomfortable with someone with as much influence as yourself saying people shouldn't ask permission to remix works until you rolled out the point about our licenses on NG. You're right. It's not that damn hard!

Using them for profit without negotiating terms, on the other hand.

Can I Remix Ur Songs?

Is there any chance you could give someone who wants to remix a song​ the FLP file? For instance, I want to remix Sphero, but have no clue where to start, mainly instrument-wise. If you can't it's fine, but just wondering

Some of your songs don't have that "Commons Deed" button. They usually say something like "You may only use this piece for commercial purposes if your work is a web-based game or animation, otherwise you must make specific arrangements with the artist." Why is this and what am I actually allowed to do with the song if it says that?

Not all of your tracks have these conditions. Some say "Please contact me" or "Only for commercial purposes, etc."

Pointing this out is the purpose of this post.
The point is "Look at the licensing terms before asking me." I don't know what else to say here.
