music21 VS Tracklib

I chose Python as a programming language here because, as you could probably guess, there are myriads of libraries in Python for working with music. I found mingus to be the simplest for working with guitar chords and music21 for generating the piano score. It might be possible though to do everything with music21 only, because it's extremely powerful, but I found mixing the two libraries to be easier than... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

If you are interested in doing anything with Python, be sure to check out Music21, which has a lot of cool features — including doing twelve-tone matrix stuff like this — built-in. Source: about 1 year ago

It's definitely a viable possiblity, and there's quite a few companeis already doing it. If you want to explore doing it yourself, I'd check out https://web.mit.edu/music21/ and build some basic models using LSTM etc. To have some fun using open source MIDI data sets like https://magenta.tensorflow.org/datasets/maestro .

Have you checked out tracklib.com? It's what I recommend to all my students for sampling. It's a huge catalog of vintage samples from major artists going back to the 50s and 60s, all pre-cleared. You might spend $50- $500 upfront to clear a sample and some percentage of your royalties, but worth it if your track ever blows up, you won't be dreading a lawsuit that will wipe away all your revenue.

For finding melodies tracklib.com has alot of old soul rap jazz electronic really any type of music to find samples. Source: over 1 year ago

All that said, tracklib.com is wonderful. Can't recommend it enough. Source: almost 2 years ago

Keep in mind if you didn't pay for a license to use a sample from tracklib.com's library of pre-cleared samples (I don't think any other website is offering this) then you're unable to clear the sample as a producer because the artist you're sampling would need to hear the lyrical content of the finished song to make their decision/negotiate.
