If I were you, I would work on either setting an exclusive right price out right or doing it by a "Make An Offer" status. You decrease the value of your beat like that. No serious artist who gets on Tidal and Spotify and stuff wants a beat that has been leased around and passed off a million times. Also, exclusive rights are the big sales, and that's what all real serious artists will want. When you are just selling an MP3 or a WAV, most artists feel they don't need to pay for it because there is already someone else just as good or maybe even better offering the same thing for free. When I was in patchwerk, or blue room or pad room or epic studios or darp studios or hotbeats, I found that most artists I was engineering for already had an entire folder of WAV/MP3 beats already in their email. In fact, I recently just moved from Atlanta 3 months ago to new york to move back home with my parents and go back to school. When you lease beats for $20 a pop or something, most artists themselves admit they don't buy beats. In my personal opinion and from experience, leasing beats tends to decrease the value of the beats.
But here is what I plan on doing with my new beats which is what you should try. They sound WAY better than the first wave of beats that I uploaded when I first started composing from scratch. Now I have a whole beats folder with over 50+ beats that I need to have mixed and mastered and upload to my site.
But now that I am sample free and compose I uploaded a few beats on my site that were more trap/modern sounding and avoiding sampling however I had to step up my knowledge of music theory. What's going on bro! So let me give you some insight on my point of view because I am completely revamping my whole website as we speak.īasically I was sample based before and switch to raw composition because I had alot of difficulty selling exclusive rights including samples because arguably the artist has to pay for the beat twice which is a bit of a turn off in terms of business.
