Which license do I need?

All three let you release a song using the beat — they differ in audio quality and how far that release can go. Not sure? WAV covers most independent releases.

Test the waters

MP3 Lease

Demos, freestyles, SoundCloud/Instagram uploads, seeing if a song works before spending more.

For serious projects

Stems / Trackout

Working with a mixing/mastering engineer, professional releases, or getting real radio play.

✓WAV file + individual stems (each instrument as its own track, for full mixing control)

✓Up to 500,000 streams

✓Up to 10,000 physical/CD copies

✓Up to 2 radio/TV stations, with performance royalties

What are "stems"? The beat split into its individual instrument tracks (drums, bass, melody, etc.) instead of one mixed-down file — what a mixing engineer needs to work with the beat properly.

None of these are exclusive — the beat can still be leased to other artists too. For full exclusive rights (the beat taken down and only yours), get in touch.
