using 30 sec of your own recording of yourself performing copyrighted musicUsing Copyrighted Music

Is it true that you can use 30 seconds of copyrighted music without having to get ASCAP permission? And is that the same whether it is the original composer performing the material or someone else whose permission you have to record and sell that 30 seconds of performance?
