Hm. Yes. I don't own a home but I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

TBH the song I posted is less than 2 minutes long and, if it were to blow up, I have no problem giving King Of The Hill their piece.
As far as clearing my samples goes: all samples I use are royalty free and/or I can provide receipts for my purchase of them. This particular song I used a clip of Hank only saying "Bobby" and "Damn it, Bobby". Everything else is 100% me. I have no fear of anything blowing up in my face, and the track has been up roughly a year with no flagging for unauthorized sample usage.
I will take this moment to post my short track: (Damn) It, Bobby:

I believe the sample I used is short enough to avoid litigation, and I haven't been sued yet 🤞🏾
Game is super fun! The 2nd one changes some things for the better, I've had the 3rd one for over a year and... Less than 10 hours.
Just my opinion, have fun!
I've never been to the border but isn't there a checkpoint on the roads with spike strips and such? WTH is border patrol if they can't get a blockage at the border for someone fleeing for 20+ minutes?

Ex girlfriend got the Corgi in the breakup, but I still have a million photos of her!
This guy!

My recommendation is the Novation LaunchKey Mini. Very similar to the Akai they recommended but I personally bought one 5 years ago when I started, so I prefer it for that reason.
Although this could be true with the Akai, I do know the LaunchKey comes with a 90 day trial of Ableton as well, which is the DAW I use to this day. Just my $.02
Hey-yo! (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
Sounds like a alpha version of a Mentat.
