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.

One of the first things to do is to ensure that the website of choice has the relevant leasing and exclusive contracts. Leasing is the term used to mean clients have the right to use the beats but do not exclusively own them. By the beats being exclusive, it means that the buyer will have 100 percent rights to the beats and can use them the way they please. Various websites have their own lease agreements and thus it will help to do research before purchasing.

It helps a lot to listen carefully and closely to the beat one is interested in purchasing. You should ensure that it is mixed properly. Most people that buy beats are not well conversant with the term mixing. When a track is properly mixed, it means that it is fresh and clean, with little or no distortion. While most people overlook this step, it is an important one. Those who are not sure should ask friends to help them listen.

There are many websites selling beats and it will be important to ensure they are not charging above the market rates. For instance, there are many websites that charge between 10 and 20 dollars for their beats and thus once the range is known, you should not pay above it. The figure will however vary depending on a website. Bigger websites will tend to charge more.

Before doing a purchase, it will help a great deal to know whether the beat has samples or not. The beat can have samples if one is not planning to use them on non profit albums or even mix tapes. On the other hand, if they are to be used on independent or major albums, then they will need to be sample free. Otherwise, you risk being sued.

It is important to understand that most of these beats have intrinsic value. Care should be taken not to spend too much for beats made by producers with no credibility or whose image and stature is not proven. This would not give too much value to the demo or album sales of the individual.

It is possible to buy beats online without having to release personal information. Many websites will offer rights to beats that are up for sale. After choosing the best site for a purchase, it will be important to monitor the transactions carefully. The payments need to be verified.

You will have to verify that the beat received is what was ordered for. Usually, the first purchase is used as a determinant of whether you can do business with the same website another time. If one is not satisfied, then other options will be considered.
