If one develops compositions starting with RealTracks, what are the copyright considerations?

Can one copyright one's own compositions? Can one publish one's own compositions, or would there be a copyright infringement on the artist whose RealTrack you started with?

1. See #2.
2. Yes.
3. Yes / No.

In general, you may use original music you create in BIAB as your own. Just avoid known melodies and hooks.

For the best info on copyright, visit the .GOV site provided by the federal government (assuming USA here).

You are free to copyright and publish any original song you create with RealTracks.

You obtained the license to use BB/RB tracks and samples when you purchased the software.

You can do what you wish with the music you create with it.

The obvious copyright infringement rules still apply to all music, but you can use BB/RB in your compositions w/o issue.

Same rule applies to all other sampler type programs such as the stuff made by East/West, Native Instruments, and dozens of other sample libraries. You license it by purchasing the package, you can use it.


You can find my music at:

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

So a musician asks me to add RealDrums to his/her song.
I generate and export a wav/mp3 of the RealDrums track using BIAB.
The musician pays me a fee for the drum track.

Is that allowed or is the copyright of the RealDrums track still owned by PG Music.

If you generated it in a PGMusic product, it is yours to use freely.
I agree with sslechta, this is allowed in my understanding of the license agreement and also multiple forum posts by PGMusic owner/staff.
I've counted on it multiple times previously and never had an issue.


Make your sound your own!
