Since the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, artists, musicians, composers, and producers face increased challenges related to securing and protecting their intellectual properties. This includes both copyrights and publishing rights.

As public demand for music samples, royalty-free music samples, and sample packs for producers increases, the issue of ethical AI sound attribution becomes increasingly important. As web-based AI music sample generators become more prevalent, we at the banastar project are offering a simple solution that eliminates the burdensome legal processes associated with music sample licensing.

Our royalty-free, comprehensive license includes master recording licensing, and access to our complete discography based on the license effective date.

Our license also includes sample clearance, beat sample clearance, YouTube music sample licensing and more. Our license simplifies and solves the legal issues surrounding ‘how to clear a music sample’. The only restriction is that our license is ‘single user’, which means re-selling, sharing, or transferring banastar samples is strictly prohibited.

Any and all AI technology capture mechanisms are strictly prohibited from accessing the banastar project music library. Any unauthorized capture of our music (intellectual property) by AI technologies, companies, or individuals will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Banastar Royalty-Free Music Licenses:

The banastar project is committed to providing innovative solutions in modern music. Our innovation includes the development of America’s fourth stringed musical instrument along with effective ways to simplify the music sample licensing process.

Our ‘sample licensing solution’ simplifies and streamlines the license process for artists, DJs, influencers and producers when using exclusive banastar samples. Our solution is a comprehensive license for a single, one-time fee. No recurring royalties and no burdensome process required to track and pay future royalties.

To fully appreciate the simplicity of our solution when compared to traditional sample-license complexities, it is important to mention there are differences between a cover song, the remix of a song, and samples from a song.

Our Royalty-Free license is a comprehensive and blanket protection instrument for artists and individuals. By purchasing the license, authorization is given to create cover songs, remixes, and/or samples and beats. All without additional royalties in the future. All without the burdensome processes experienced when tracking traditional sample licensing methods and payouts.

Customarily, within most of today's music sampling license agreements, the process of licensing samples involves artist fees and royalties that will be ongoing.

There will likely be additional fees associated with the labels/publishers. Most publishers will request a prepaid advance, similar to a clearance fee. This can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands. In addition, many publishers are likely to request a percentage of all future revenue generated from the new song.

The measure of the percentage publishers or labels will demand will depend on various factors. These factors may include (but are not limited to) the following criteria:
1. How readily recognizable or highly visible the sample presents itself within the newly created recording.
2. The various sample elements included. Sample elements may include composed and arranged instrumentation on multiple instruments (or a single instrument), lyrics and vocals, or all of the aforementioned.

Most labels associated with the sample(s) may want some form of pre-paid fee or advance payment agreement. Additionally, some music sample licensing agrrements include another fee known as a ‘rollover’. A rollover fee is essentially a royalty rate that is calculated based on a sales threshold. This means once you’ve sold a set amount of downloads of your new song, you’ll owe the label a percentage of the money earned.

License holders who purchase our blanket coverage avoid ‘rollovers’ and future royalties associated with typical/traditional sample licensing agreements.

All producers, engineers, and artists now have an innovative alternative to traditional music sample and beat licensing when acquiring the banastar royalty-free music license. The aim of our 'music sampling turnkey solution' is to demystify, simplify, and streamline today's complex music sample licensing process.

Access exclusive banastar music samples without the cumbersome royalty processes that exist with traditional sample licensing agreements.

The banastar project discography is available for review on Pandora Radio, iHeart Radio, Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.
