Collaboration/Remix Etiquette?

[charamelle]

Hi, been lurking for a bit.

I've come across some sequences I'd love to mess around with and add on to, so I was just hoping to get some guidance on to approach playing with other people's tracks. Are you supposed to message people for permission to create a sequence based on their original?  Or do people just sort of jump onto whatever they take a fancy to as long as you make sure there's a link back to the first sequence?

If you are making money off of the edit, then you should definitely ask first. Otherwise, as long as you change it up enough, it should be fine. Although, double-checking never hurts.
