#### Frank Dukes' approach to music production (interview quote)
 
“For the [early Kingsway Music Library releases](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/original-compositions-frank-dukes-kingsway), I was really trying to sound like old records I would like to sample myself,” Frank Dukes told Tracklib. “That was really an experiment. As the volumes progress, you can hear that they evolve past that. They sort of become more ‘modern,’ I guess. My sensibilities evolved. For the later editions, I was writing ideas, rather than making samples.” 
 
#### Clearing samples from Frank Dukes' collection for legal use

When using samples from Frank Dukes' collection, it's essential to navigate potential clearance issues.
