Tips On How To Buy Hip Hop Beats Online

By Tammie Caldwell


The process of buying beats has become very easy over time. Previously, one had to do lots of research to find hip hop producers. For those that want to buy hip hop beats online sources are the easiest option. There are hundreds of websites that offer these services. There are major mistakes that those buying beats make and it is important to avoid them.

First and foremost, it is important to make sure that the website being used for the purchase has leasing and exclusive contract. The term leasing means that one has the rights to use the beat but there are no exclusive rights to own it. Exclusive implies that one has full 100 percent rights to the beats and they can be used for whatever one chooses. Each website will have its own agreements and therefore one needs to do proper research before getting to do a purchase.

It is advisable to keenly and closely listen to a beat that one looks to purchase. It will need to be mixed appropriately. A good number of buyers do not understand what the term mixing means. Properly mixed tracks are cleans and fresh and have no distortions. This is an important step that is overlooked by many people. If you are not sure about how to check for mixing, it would help to ask friends or relatives.

There are websites that tend to overcharge when it comes to purchase of beats. The majority of beat leases vary from 10 to 20 dollars. This is not an exact figure and is likely to vary depending on how big the website is. People should not pay more than the recommended market prices, unless of course the producer is a big one. The amount payable will depend also on the budget that an individual has come up with.

The producer should be asked if the beat is sample free. If one does not plan to use the beat on non profit albums or mix tapes then it would be okay if it has samples. However, if the plan is to use it on major or independent albums, then the used instrumentals should not have samples. Otherwise, one would risk being sued.

Most of the hip hop beats have intrinsic value. Clients should not spend too much money on beats produced by persons with no credibility or market experience. There will not be enough value on album sales.

It is possible to buy a beat without releasing unnecessary personal details. A good number of sites offer rights to beats on sale. After choosing the right beat, the transaction needs to be monitored very carefully. The payment should be verified to ensure it went through.

A client should verify that the received beat is what they ordered. After the first purchase, one can determine if they want to do business with the same website again. Online purchase offers a lot of convenience.
