What does it mean to lease a beat ?

When you purchase a beat lease, you are simply buying the rights to use the beat in a limited and non-exclusive capacity. Haram Beatz retains full copyright ownership over the composition and is allowed to continuously sell non-exclusive licenses of that same beat to other artists until someone purchases the Exclusive Rights to the beat. At that point, the beat will be immediately removed from our beat store and ownership rights are granted to the purchaser.

Will a beat be removed from the Beatstore once I Purchase it ?

Only if you purchase the Exclusive Rights to the beat. Otherwise, the beat will remain on the site for other artists to lease until someone purchases the Exclusive Rights.

Do you make custom beats ?

Yes, we do. you will have exclusive rights. Contact us for more information.

What happens if I exceed the stream/unit sale limit of my current Lease ?

You must upgrade your lease to the next tier by contacting us at Hello@harambeatz.com. The cost of the upgrade is simply the price of the new lease minus the amount you already paid for your original lease.

What if I Purchase a non-exclusive license and then later on, someone else purchases the exclusive rights ?

The purchase of Exclusive Rights to a beat does not impact the status or validity of previous licensees so you do not need to remove your music from streaming services, social media, etc. for the full term of your lease agreement.

What's the difference between an unlimited license and an exclusive ?

The usage rights are the same for both: you get unlimited sales, streams, etc. The difference is, if you purchase the Exclusive, the ownership rights to the beat are transferred to you and the beat is immediately removed from our beat store, never to be sold to another artist again. The Unlimited License is still non-exclusive, so even though you get the same usage rights as if you owned the Exclusive, the beat will remain in our beat store for others to lease or buy.

How can I upgrade my license ?

If you already bought the License and you need to upgrade, you can easily upgrade your license here.

You only need to pay the difference between your current and new license.

How much are the exclusive rights to a beat ?

Exclusive Rights pricing is variable and negotiable. Email us at Hello@harambeatz.com for more information.

What are stems ?

Stems (also known as trackouts) are the individual audio files that make up a beat, meaning each sound within the beat will be sent as a separate high quality WAV audio file. Leases that include stems are ideal if you plan on recording your song in a professional studio and want to have full control over mixing each instrument around your vocals.

What are the differences between the audio formats?

MP3s are smaller than WAV files because they are compressed using lossy compression. Lossy compression means that some information is lost when the files are made smaller. What is lost usually depends on the bitrate of the MP3. High-quality MP3s are less compressed; therefore, they discard less data, but they are usually larger in size than lower-quality MP3s. WAV files are uncompressed and are made using the same audio specifications that CDs use. This is why a WAV ripped from a CD can sound just as good as the original CD version; it is an exact copy. It’s the lack of compression that makes the WAV file large. A three-minute MP3 encoded at a variable bit rate (VBR) averaging 211 kbps (kilobytes-per-second) can be around 5MB in size. A high-quality WAV file of the same song is nearly 10 times that at 45MB in size. We at Trkkbeats recommend using WAV files at all times. We offer WAV files with the Premium, Premium+, Unlimited and Exclusive rights options.

Can I use the beats on harambeatz.com for my podcast intro , youtube video , or facebook AD ?

Yes! All beats on Harambeatz.com can be used for all types of creative endeavors, not just songs. Normal streaming/view caps still apply (see pricing table on the homepage for more details on the limitations of each lease tier). Email us at inquiries@harambeatz.com if you have additional questions.
