I don;t have an y issues with people licensing their samples and loops, per se... I have an issue with how they are delivered, that is without headroom and little scope to work with (have a browse of any sync library)

That is what I mean by 'grow up'... get them drag and drop them, leave them as is

I sample noises, things in the immediate environment... anything really.
I treat and save them as 'clean' but 'unmastered' (you can't master a sample... yeah, you can push it's LUFS) DAW imports and at -12Db peak... and so on and so on...

Licenses..? It's about time we all grew up a little.

Define uncleared sample..?
All my samples are my own but I get it... patch sweeping and preset clicking... dare I say... buying loop packs and so on...

I got a toffee in my Spotify wrapper...

Do you have music on YouTube?
I'll happily check it out but be warned, if you're remotely mainstream, it won't be my thing but I am a good mix listener.

I think there's a degree of entrapment going on with the socials, especially for Indies and since the pandemic.
I have stuff on YouTube (not Kapok Itch) but it is generally quite flippant and as experimental as my music is.

In terms of being missed, sure I might miss some. I doubt I'd be missed.

I\'m not that attached to any of my social media, have very little of it anyway, will just delete it one day.... and move on.
