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.
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.
My name is Andrew Vaz and I formed Midnight Prophet in 2006, after having composed for many years and wanting to share my music with the world. The name came from the fact that many songs were formed during those hours and I wanted to help others through my songs.
Band/artist history
I started composing for Midnight Prophet around the time I was graduating from Media Arts at Sheridan College. The songs at that time were comprised of deeply personal feelings on trauma from my past and became really cathartic as they became fully fleshed out tracks for my debut album. I did a small launch party to celebrate the release , but wasn't expecting much attention. It wasn't until a few years later when I was called on to write a track for a national campaign for the American Cancer society. The track I composed had already seen some evolution from what I put out with the debut, and it reflected themes of hope and harmony not evident in my earlier work. This started me on a path to create the next album, which ended up being a short EP. It was also concept based, reflecting the downward spiral of an individual who lost his true love, but ends up realizing that love is universal. Had a small detour when I composed a modern worship album, and then was starting to compose for my next when this pandemic took hold.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I performed a lot as a kid, through choirs and plays, but it wasn't until high school that I really started performing as a musician. I was in the school band at that time, and then in college had a brief stint as a synth player with a rock band. My CD launch would be the first time performing under Midnight Prophet and it was especially memorable being the first time I got to see reactions for that material.
Your musical influences
My early work was highly influenced by Moby and Radiohead, especially Thom Yorke's solo stuff. As time went on I also became entranced by artists like Coldplay, Muse, Above & Beyond and Raine Maida.
What equipment do you use?
I record everything in a home studio, comprised of a Rode USB condenser microphone and a Mac running Logic Pro. For live performance I have a Roland Piano, Yorkville amp, Senheisser microphone, and various percussive instruments.
