FAQ
Why would I need a license?
A license is needed if you want to use the music for anything else than just listening for your pleasure. Typical uses are
- freestyling over a beat
- licensing music for use in TV or for a movie
- remixing or use audio samples
What are the license options and what are the differences between those?
We offer up to 5 license templates (Basic, Premium, Track Out, Unlimited, Exclusive) and it's up to the artist which ones he/she wants to make available. Each license comes with different perks. In general, the higher the price, the better the perks.
You can click on each feature on the left side of the comparison chart above to learn more about each one.

When will I get the track I purchased?
You can download all related files immediately after your purchase. We also email you a one-time download link for a download later.
How can I remove the audio tag from the track?
A "tagged beat" is a demonstration version of an instrumental that contains distinct audio watermarks that typically play throughout the entire track. The purpose of a producer tagging his/her instrumental is to prevent piracy and to encourage serious recording artists to purchase a license.
To get a tag-free audio please make sure you purchase a license which features "untagged audio".

I purchased a $1 download, why is the beat still tagged?
Beats purchased for $1 in our store are meant for streaming and demo use only, just like downloads from iTunes store or Amazon music.
To license a beat without audio tag and to use in a professional manner please buy a license from this page. Usually those are $25 and up.

What is a stem / trackout file?
A Stem file is an audio file that contains a track split into several musical elements: A drums stem, a bassline stem, a harmony stem, and a lead stem for example.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.
Why would I need a stem / trackout file?
A trackout file gives you much better control. Imagine you rap over a beat and you realize the percussions take the focus away from your vocals. With a trackout file
you can simply tone down the percussion and the focus is now on the vocals. With a trackout file you have much more flexibility and a whole different level of control.

THE JDA PROJECT RETROSPECTIVE
Show all videos (56)
Joel Pirard has been playing, writing, and recording original rock music for years, as a guitarist, bassist and keyboardist. Don Pitz is JDA's primary lead vocalist. He also plays keyboards, guitar, bass, and percussion.
Arno Tietje is the primary lead guitarist in The JDA Project. Arno also sings, plays bass, percussion, lap steel guitar, and harmonica.
The JDA Project has released 5 CDs, A Fine TIme, Through A Moving Window, Syzygy, Dropstones and the live For the Sake of the Song.
NEWS UPDATE!
LARRY LIPSHUTZ, our former bassist has returned to the fold, and brings along his long his cohort ANDY OROS, ON DRUMS. WE WILL HAVE PROFILE INFO SOON!Band/artist history
Joel knew Don, and Joel knew Arno. They recorded separately and together for years, worked in bands together, Joel And Don in Anthem and Alaska; Joel and Arno in The Alienz. When the three got together , something magical happened.
The band started as a fun recording project, doing about 20 Beatles songs, which prompted us write together., eventually creating A FINE TIME.
D: I spent a lot of time playing in rock clubs in the area, especially New Jersey, which is how I met these guys.
J: I played with Don in two other bands, Alaska and Anthem, in 1981 and 1983 respectively, and occasionally recorded with him for fun. I met Arno in 1985, when I joined The Aliens, an avante-guard, Talking Heads-Squeeze type of original band. When The Aliens folded in 1987, Arno and I kept in touch. We recorded with Don around this time for the first time. Two of those songs will appear in brand new arrangements on "Through A Moving Window " These early sessions planted the seeds, although it was years before we came together as The JDA Project. I guess I'm sort of the 'pivot' man.
A: We all respected each other's musical talents in and out of bands and got along so well that an association at some point seemed logical. There are many tracks that Joel and I recorded together that may someday get reworked in The JDA Project manner. "Carry It Through" was one recorded for the first time right after The Aliens broke up.
With Erwin Brea on bass, and Chris Scott on drums and vocals, the band made their live debut at the famous venue KENNY'S CASTAWAYS in NYC in 2005 and a return engagement soon followed. However, Erwin left the band to pursue other things. Larry Lipshutz joined up on bass shortly afterward, has left the band as of 2019.
Ron Cook took over the drumming in THE JDA PROJECT in 2007 when Chris left due to illness, and remained with the band until Chris's return. Robbie Offerman came into the fold after Chris left in 2013 and has since left the band.
The JDA Project has released 6 CDs, A Fine TIme, Through A Moving Window, Syzygy, Dropstones and the live For the Sake of the Song, and JDA LIVE AT KENNY'S 10/15/2005
JAMES TAYLOR, DRUMS & DEREK GRAHAM, BASS have left The JDA PROJECT effective 3-16-2025. We with them the best of success in their future projects
