Everything About Beats
Depending on the option you pick, you will either get the MP3 and WAV mastered files of a beat, or you can also get the stems for the session, which is perfect to get a more detailed mix on your release.
Also, each lease option will give you different limitations on your next release. Lower Leases will have a limited ceiling on the amount of streams and sales you can get, whereas an Unlimited Lease has no ceiling whatsoever. You may at any point upgrade your lease if you reach a limit.
Although Unlimited Leases do allow you to sell and distribute your release without any limitations, I am still legally allowed to sell the beat on my stores.
A lease usually has certain limitations, regarding stream counts, copies sold, live shows, etc. Furthermore, leasing a beat will still allow me to keep selling it in my stores, whereas once a beat's exclusive rights are purchased, I can no longer sell it to other buyers.
Note that leases purchased before the Exclusive Rights were sold, are still valid for those buyers, although they won't have the option to upgrade.
All of my beats are available for negotiation. This means that I can work with your budget, as well as bundle beats together if you're getting more than one, and get a price that's both accessible for you, and fair for myself. Do keep in mind that Exclusive Rights prevents me from selling the beat ever again, so the prices can go from $300 upwards.
Nonetheless, feel free to contact me for more information on the subject or specific beats' prices.
I make all of my beats available for free download. This option will include the tagged MP3, but will not allow you to commercially use your final track. This means you can record, and release it on free platforms such as YouTube, Soundcloud and Bandcamp, but not distribute through DSPs.
Credit to producer(s) must still be provided in written form.
Depending on what your expected reach is for the project you plan on releasing, you might need higher ceilings for streams and sales. Another factor to keep in mind is whether you need the stems, or just the master WAV file.
If lease a beat but reach your ceiling, or realize you need an upgrade, you can still contact me for a price adjustment.
Once you purchase any lease or Exclusive Rights, you are free to use the beats for commercial purposes. But do keep in mind that contractually you must provide 50% of the mechanical rights to the producer(s). For further information, contact me.
I currently have a Buy 1 Get 2 Free! and a Buy 2 Get 5 Free! deals. By adding beats with the same lease (3 in the first case, 7 in the second), you'll activate the bundle deal. If you add beats with different lease options, the deal will not activate.
At the moment my beats are sold through a third-party (BeatStars), which only takes PayPal. However, it does accept bank payments. I'm currently looking into options to further expand the payment methods available for you.
My products are considered digital goods, meaning you cannot return them to me. With that in mind, refunds of any and all beats are not possible. In addition, if you decide to cancel the transaction on PayPal, after receiving the files, the license contract you received becomes null.
During the checkout process, you are asked to input an email address for your files to be sent to. It's advised you to make sure you check your spam box as well, and if none can be found, try to look into your billing address (if it differs). I am using a third-party platform to sell beats, so there might be a small delay at times. If your files don't arrive in 24-48 hours, please feel free to contact me.
If you lease or buy the Exclusive Rights to a beat, you can distribute it through any and all DSPs.
You still need to provide the 50% mechanical rights to the producer(s), as well as include the producer(s) in the credits.
As this is an option that'll automatically flag any tracks using the beat purchased / downloaded, this option is only available for those who purchase the Exclusive Rights.
If you only purchased a lease, or got a free download, you may not register your final song with Content ID. Any cases of the sort, will be reported to DSPs by myself, leading to your track's removal and, in some cases, the artist's page removal.
You simply need to either lease or purchase the Exclusive Rights of the beat you want to use in your release.
In addition, in order to provide the 50% Mechanical Rights, you may contact me to clear up any other info.
You may also add my PRO IPI: 1079640044 (BMI).
Everything About Sound Packs
Sometimes I'll offer a 'Lite' version of a sound pack, as a taster for the full version.
This is usually the case with construction kits, where I offer you the option to purchase only the loops, without the stems.
If you purchased the Lite Version of a sound pack and want to upgrade to the Full Version, feel free to contact me with your purchase receipt, and I'll offer you a discount for the full pack.
Failure to provide the purchase receipt, will prevent you from upgrading.
Both paid and free sound packs are royalty free, so you won't have to worry about further payments.
If you produce a track with one of my sound packs, and it gets placed with a Major Label / Artist, I request that you contact me to negotiate rights splits, as well as credits.
Except for major placements, after negotiations, you won't have to credit the me on any of your releases / productions.
However, feel free to tag me in your work, so I can hear what you did with the sound packs!
If you want to add me as a collaborator, feel free to contact me, and I can provide the information needed.
I'm co-Founder of Collab Gem, a label that is constantly expanding, and are currently members of several other platforms, where we make our sound packs available.
We like to know who supports our brand and content as best as possible. With that in mind, we try to offer better options on our own platforms, to further guide you into shopping with us directly.
There's a wide range of free sound packs, as well as Lite options for part of my catalog.
I also try to provide constant deals and discounts.
Make sure you're on top of them all, by subscribing to my newsletter!

Any track you produce with my sound packs, is allowed to be released and distributed to any and all DSPs.
Yes!
Each sound pack will be designed differently, offering one shots, loops, midi or a combination of these, besides a contract, demo and artwork.
Make sure you read the sound pack details to understand what you'll be getting with your download.
