thoughts? once a song has been used in an edit is it automatically off limits?

Yes. Come on man, there is so much good music out there. The possibilities are endless. Just be prepared for people to tell you how much they hate the music no matter how good the song actually is.

it is if it was used in a movie or in a pros promo or if it is in a very recent edit but if it was just in some kids edit a few months ago its all good to use.... thats my opinion at least

Why wouldn't want to put some of your musical tastes into your edit?

Nothing is original. Everything has already been done in some form or another, so stop caring and do whatever you want.

I'd say your in the clear as long as you dont use party & bullshit. Tom wallisch pretty much slayed that song, so thats off limits because simply no edit can top that.

I dont care or think it matters, unless you using the same song and same edit ideas, then your just copying.

Yeah keep it fresh, although it is hard sometimes to know if a song has been used or not, so keep watchin edits to make sure it doesn't happen!

just keep trying it out with different styles of songs until you find something that works pretty good with your style and what you're edit is like.  if something that has been done before sounds good in your edit, go for it, but bonus points for originality

Everytime I think, "no one will ever use this song," I see it in an edit a week or two later. Makes me so mad. Right when I think I have a good song someone decides to take it.

i think the main thing is that when you watch an edit with a previously used song is that it doesn't draw your attention to the former edit. if it's not something that you think might distract the viewer then it's game.
(IMO)
