Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding instrumental licensing, payouts, and delivery systems.
🛒 Ordering & File Access
Simply navigate to our active storefront music player widget. Audition tracks using the play button, click the gold "+ ADD" button on the instrumental selection row, and choose the licensing tier that fits your project framework. Click the checkout basket icon to review and process your payment securely.
Fulfillment is 100% automated and instant. The exact second your secure transaction clears, a system notification email is pushed to your address directly by the BeatStars network. This contains your un-tagged premium audio masters (MP3, WAV, or stems depending on your tier) and signed copy licensing contract paperwork.
⚖️ Royalties, Contracts & Rights
A non-exclusive lease grants you specific, capped commercial usage rights to distribute a song recorded over the instrumental while allowing other artists to legally lease the track simultaneously. Exclusive rights grant total ownership transfer over the baseline production framework, meaning the beat is permanently removed from our store and cannot be licensed to any other creator again.
For all standard leasing tiers (Lease, Premium, Unlimited), you keep 100% of your user-generated streaming profits up to your specific unit distribution caps. For mechanical writer splits and backend publishing royalties, the industry-standard framework dictates a 50/50 split sheet allocation between the music producer and songwriter.
No, registration within automated copyright databases is strictly prohibited under non-exclusive leasing agreements. Doing so triggers false automated copyright strikes against every other independent artist who legally licensed the exact same instrumental framework. Full Content ID database verification options are reserved exclusively for our Exclusive tier contracts.
🎛️ Audio Formats & Studio Stems
Trackout Stems are individual, separated audio files for every instrument layer inside the beat layout panel (the isolated kick drum, snare, hi-hats, 808 sub, leads, melodies, etc.). Securing stems is highly recommended because it allows your studio mixing engineer to adjust, EQ, level, and sculpt the instrumental elements flawlessly around your vocal frequencies.
Yes. Every instrumental inside our active catalog is pre-arranged according to highly successful radio and streaming formatting standards, typically including clear intro segments, 8-bar chorus/hook windows, 16-bar verses, and clean outro tracking fades.
