Hello, I am a musician who would like to record an album one day. I would also like to copyright my work. I have a question about copyrighting.
Is it legal to write music using Brand Name Sound Effects and Instruments and then copyright that?
For example: if I am using a Line 6 Spider II Amp and a Fender Telecaster Guitar and I record an original piece of music using that equipment am I allowed to copyright that?
Do I need some sort of licensing agreement with Line 6 or Fender to be able to copyright the music in my name if I use their brand name sound effects, amps, and instruments? (this question is not limited to Line 6 and Fender only)
Also, what about using a drum machine in my songs and then copyrighting that? Does a licensing agreement apply?
Thank you
