Yet, an exclusive license can only be sold once and to one artist only. The biggest difference is that a non-exclusive license for one beat can be sold to several artists. This is what we call the License Agreement. In return for your payment, the producer grants you several rights to use the beat. Buying beats online – How does it work?īy purchasing a beat, you are purchasing audio files that are copyrighted by the producer. If you’re using a beat for which you haven’t received a license agreement in writing from the producer, you’re unauthorized to use it and you could get in serious trouble. If you are going to ask for something for free, ask for a ‘free license’.
Get this in your head: There’s no such thing as a ‘free beat’. However, if I want to take the song down for no reason, it’ll be taken down within minutes. Sometimes I do permit people to upload their songs created with my free beats to social media only.
That’s the thing! Not much… At least, nothing commercially or profitable. It makes it easier for all parties involved. So, I don’t feel bad about asking someone to buy a beat with a proper license that comes with it. My own beats are downloaded hundreds of thousands of times in the last couple of years. Trust me when I say that many artists are taking advantage of our craft and hard work. In defence of the producers, including myself. The reason why producers add “FREE DL” in their titles has to do with marketing strategies and ranking on YouTube. In defence of the artists, I have to admit – The hypocrisy is REAL! When you’re looking for beats on YouTube, most of the titles you’ll find say “(FREE) BEAT” or “FREE DL”.īasically, they’re offering free beats but then complain about artists using their beats for free.
