A Basic Guide On How To Buy Hip Hop Beats Online

By Roscoe Jameson


The beat is a crucial part of the best hip hop tracks being produced today. The quality of what you buy will make a difference to the quality of your overall track. When it comes to knowing how to buy Hip Hop beats online the crucial thing is to know what you are buying and how to get the best possible quality.



The amount of bits will affect the quality. Naturally this will affect the price. For a decent quality sound it is worth going for a 16 bit WAV. The best possible quality is to go for a 24 bit tracked out version of an instrumental. This will give you the best possible sound but will cost more.

In practice, you may have a lower budget. Therefore you will want something more affordable while at the same time still sounding professional. In this instance a 16 bit WAV track may be a better option for you. In any instance you need to check carefully in order to see if it is appropriate.

However if you want the best possible quality in your price range then you should look for 24 bit sound. Ideally the producer supplying the beat ought to have a sample on the page. This is your chance to gauge whether or not it is appropriate. The fact is the kind of beat you like may not necessarily work for another track.

Once you have found the track and seen it is within your price range you then need to check the licensing agreement. This will refer to the usage under the terms and conditions the producer agrees to. It is vital that you check this in order to ensure that you are not breaking any of those terms or you could find yourself getting sued.

An exclusive license is one where the music producer gives all the rights to you. This is regardless of whether you are doing something as a non profit exercise or something that you intend to sell. This is often the most expensive option but the main advantage is that you will not hear those beats on any other track and it often means yours is likely to stand out from other tracks.

A non exclusive license means the hip hop producer is free to allow other artists to use their work on other tracks. The risk is that your tracks could be released at the same time as another artist using the same beat. The reason many people download non exclusive beats is that the option is more affordable than an exclusive license. Therefore you need to decide whether you want to invest a bit more.

In short when you are purchasing exclusive hip hop beats for your mixtape, you need to decide what you want and what is best suited for your sound and your individual circumstances. What should happen is you pay for your beat and you should receive a track to download soon afterwards. Remember there should be a period where you can cancel the payment if you do not receive it. Look online for producers and for feedback from artists that have used their work in the past to find the ideal beats to suit your sound.
