The Beat Maker Software

It has become ever so popular for independent recording artists and producers to buy and sell beats online. With this trend comes a lot of traffic from inexperienced artists trying to buy beats online. An inexperienced buyer will easily over pay for a beat online. This article was written from personal experience in hopes of giving some insight, not as a hard set of rules to follow, but a guide. Listed below are things beat buyers should know and understand when buying beats online.

Understand The INTRINSIC Value Of Hip Hop Beats And Rap Beats

You can’t touch, bend, break, fold, or smell rap beats. For that matter, you can’t even see them, yet in the music industry, we see them being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Oh … but you can hear and fell vibrations from beats, can’t you. This kind of makes music like the wind, so I guess it’s fair to say the music industry is selling “air”… not really, but hopefully you get my point. It’s not the price of the beat but the producer or person you are buying it from.

The actual value of a beat or music is based on an underlying perception of its true value, perception being the keyword. Don’t rip yourself off by buying a beat online for $500 if the producer has no credibility or his or her image and stature in the music industry doesn’t give value to your demo or album sales. Look at what Brittany Spears did on her latest album, take note of the album credits and all the popular “Producer Powers” employed, essentially playing a major part in her attempt to revive her career.

Some Internet Beat Pricing Standards And Averages

The average rate on the Internet for a “Non-Exclusive” beat license is $0 – $75. With this type of license you are essentially leasing or renting the beat for a given amount of time or copies. The average for an “Exclusive” beat license is from around $75 – $250. This type of license gives you full ownership of the beat, as if you created it yourself. More popularly noted as “work for hire”. Note: Some exclusive licenses may restrict resale.

Try To Contact The Producer Before You Buy

To get the most for your money, and protect yourself from “beat-jackers” (people who steal other peoples beats and resell them) try to contact the producer first to see if he or she is responsive, email or PM seems to be the best method. Don’t just buy beats from “Joe Blow” without making some kind of contact first. Trust me, real beat makers who are truly vested in their craft make themselves available and they’ll be happy to hear from you (it builds their ego) and will more than likely work a deal out with you if you buy more than one beat from them. If a seller takes more than two days to respond, keep it moving. There are literally thousands of other producers who will stop at the drop of a hat to make a $20 sale in hopes of repeat business and a little recognition. Try starting off with producers that you see are already selling beats to others on the net or have their beats rated high or “Hot”. Obviously they are doing something right and they are more than likely satisfying other beat buyers needs.

Get It In Writing

When you buy beats online, make sure there is some type of printable licensing agreement associated with the beat you buy. A licensing agreement/contract will explain the rights you have with the beats and the terms under which you may use the beat.

Cheap Exclusive Beat

Cheap exclusive beats are the best deals to get but there are very few producers out there who are willing to sell you an exclusive beat from $20 to $40. Check out thebeattrader.com for some of those type deals. There are not a lot of producers on that site and understandably so, but the site became very popular for selling low priced exclusive beats a few years ago.

Cheap Non-Exclusive Beats

The next best thing is a low priced non-exclusive. Remember, the catch with non-exclusive beats is that the beat may have been sold several other times before you buy it, so if you are looking for fresh music, make a list of the producers you like on a site and watch their profiles. Good experienced online producers know to cycle out old beats and update their profiles with new beats at least every 2-3 days.

I’d say a fair price to pay for a non-exclusive beat is about $20. There is an abundant amount of producers selling beats online right now who would fight for your business. Online producers are almost a dime a dozen so it’s really easy nowadays to get unique music for your mix-tape, demo, or album at and very affordable price.

For reference, BeatSwagger.com is one of the best sites to buy beats on. The site has very affordable beats, fast transactions and its easy to use. You basically click, buy, and download your beat instantly from a secured link sent to the e-mail address of your choosing. Plus, you can also instantly download a printable licensing agreement after you buy beats. The site prides itself in its more mature, seasoned music producers and beat makers. The majority of these producers are serious about selling beats and are easy to work with. They typically have the Gold or Platinum Membership.

Happy Beat Buying!

Here are 3 main things to look for when making your decision to choose the right beat making software:

Customer service and support. It really makes you feeling like pulling your hair out when you cannot find someone to help you with problems that you encountered while using the software. I had experience this many times especially when you are making purchase online. There don’t seem to be any support offered and that really sucks. So, make sure that there are ways to contact and reach the owner or the support team for the beat making software that you are investing.

There must be detailed instruction and tutorials. Well, preferably if they have videos showing how things work, then the better. The one I got has everything in videos. It shows not only how to use the software to make beats online but also video tutorials lessons on how to produce beats using various instruments as well. And it offers access to a member area that provides unlimited usage with lots of music instruments download, free music beats download to start with and lots of tutorials on chord charts, rhythm exercises etc. for just a one time fee.

The software itself must have ample editing features. Well, after all, this one remains the main thing to consider. You don’t want a beat making software that has limited editing feature but the above 2 right? It must has ample track sequencer provided, tempo adjustment, drum machine, track volumes controls, various chords and tracks; drums, guitar, piano, brass, loops, combos etc.

The one that I’m using to make beats online also comes with MP3 export ability meaning that I can save the beats that I have made in MP3 format. And this is really important as MP3 file format is the most popular media format that can be played on most if not all media player. CLICK HERE to watch how easily it helps me to create music beats.

In other words, we, the end user can get almost an immediate saving by using these beats making software while still able to produce quality beats like the pro.

Another important aspect when making your hip hop or rap beats is the sequencer. Sequencer is what makes the main base for most song. And this is also a built in feature that you can find in a good beats making software. As the sequencer also comes in with thousands of different beat effects, it makes things very easy for user like us to create a lot of unique and exciting beats to be added in our rap or hip hop song in a matter of minutes.

However, when choosing a beats making software, be sure to check the export capability or the saving function of the software. It will be futile if the beats that you have created cannot be listened or used in other music player. So, just make sure that beats making software that you are investing in has the MP3 export capability as MP3 is the most common transferable file format that can be used on most other software.

Then check to see if the beats making software comes with a help section just in case you were stuck somewhere while creating your own beats. It will be frustrating if you don’t get help when you have problem especially when you needed a solution to complete the beats on that day. A good software should also comes with a lot of video tutorials and help articles to get your started on your sequencing venture. The one I am using also shows different ways to put together music and beats to make truly marvelous rap and hip hop song. That will be an added advantage to know how to add beats with other music instruments as well.

Okay, so that are all factors you should take into consideration when choosing a beats making software. Make sure the beats making software that you chose satisfy all of the above criteria so that you can produce high quality and unique beats easily.
