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.

Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

Band/artist history

Currently playing with my re-united band from 30 years ago, A.K.A.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I do play live occasionally.

Your musical influences

Rock, blues, jazz, country and many of their subgenres. Actually, every sound I hear.

What equipment do you use?

I play a Gretsch Electromatic Jet, and a parts tele. All the recordings on here are with guitars I no longer own. LP, strat, tele, etc. and a midi keyboard for the sampled instruments

Anything else?

I picked jazz as a genre because that's where I'm at these days. Most of my live history is with rock and blues, though. Blues/Jazz/Rock sounds like a better descriptor.

What a very nice piece of music You have made here, really nice :-)

Very soulful and melodic song, played with great expression. Beautiful job.

Laneway Cats is a really cool tune, Ralph. Lovely keys and it feels - well, feline!

Ralph! Good to hear a new old tune of yours. Spicy shord changes and sweet melodies, a great combo for the festive season.

Very Very nice Ralph, great cords and sound not to mention your soulfull and emotional play...
