For me, linking to Rjay’s comment, the most important part of this job is composition and on that basis, shortly after creating the initial idea I will be sketching and exploring the opportunities for Sting, 15, 30, 60 and Full. Varying tempo, rhythmic backing, motif development opportunities etc helps you identify where a track is comfortable and where it works. Again for me, each edit needs to sound like a complete standalone piece – that’s the job in my opinion.

Re only copyright melody – that’s not true in the UK.

This implies, which I know that many people think, that if you change the melody a bit but keep the same chords, arrangement, structure and rhythm then it’s OK

As a creator of an original piece you are not allowed to plaguralise the creative endevours of another – that’s the law in the UK – the creative endevour can be the chords, arrangement, a key hooky riff etc

It’s not about only copying 3 notes or whatever rules of thumb people have decided.

I’ve worked closely with Musicologists to understand all this and I know many people sail very close to the wind often because they don’t know wha the copyright law actually says on this

Regards
David
