Recreating songs for training

[sha_0206]

If there's a cool song, and I want to try to recreate it for training beatmaking skills and in general for personal use, is it even legal? Am I not about to infringe any property rights?

Hey @sha_0206,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

Recreating a song can still be considered copyright infringement depending on how it's done. If you record a cover, create an instrumental version, or sample the original track, you might need permission or a proper license. 

Copyright laws also vary between countries, but most follow similar principles under international agreements. If it's for personal use such as practice or personal enjoyment without sharing it with anyone or monetizing it in any way, it's unlikely to be an issue. However, we'd recommend checking your local copyright laws or getting permission from the right holders to avoid any infringements.
 

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.
