Quick Answers

Frequently Asked

How fast do I get the beat after buying?

Instantly. The second checkout completes on BeatStars, you get an email with your download link and your licensing contract. No waiting, no manual delivery.

What's the difference between a lease and an exclusive?

A lease is a non-exclusive license. You can release a song with the beat, but the beat stays in the catalog and other artists can lease it too. An exclusive means the beat is removed from sale and you get exclusive rights to the master recording built with it. The producer still retains ownership of the underlying composition and publishing share, which is how independent beat licensing works industry-wide.

Can I put songs on Spotify and Apple Music?

Yes, every license tier allows distribution to streaming platforms. The Premium lease caps at 100,000 streams; Unlimited and Exclusive have no cap.

Do I need to credit the producer?

Yes, on every license tier including exclusives. Credit "Prod. DJ Smalls" (or "Prod. by DJ Smalls") in the song title and video description.
