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".

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.

Loose Change continues to write, record, and release new music.Band/artist history
Loose Change was formed in 1988 by longtime collaborators from New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, built on a shared commitment to strong songwriting and guitar-driven rock.
Over the years, the band has remained independent and creatively focused, developing a catalog defined by melodic hooks, energy, and lyrical depth. Along the way, Loose Change has connected its music to purpose organizing Tunes for the Dunes during the Gulf War and later releasing “Carry On in support of New York City 9/11 first responders.
Rather than chasing trends, the band has taken a long-view approach, continuing to write, record, and release new music while staying true to its original sound. Recent releases including “It’s A Long Way Up (When You’re So Far Down), “Mayday, and “Nobody Me reflect that ongoing evolution.
Today, Loose Change continues to build its audience across streaming platforms while staying grounded in the same core idea that started it all great songs come first.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, though we are more of a studio band these days.
Your musical influences
Loose Change draws from the classic rock tradition where songwriting, melody, and feel come first.
Our influences include artists like The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Crowded House and The Who bands and writers who understood how to combine strong hooks with emotional honesty and energy. There’s also an appreciation for the craftsmanship of earlier rock and pop, where structure, dynamics, and storytelling were central to the music.
At the same time, we’re less focused on sounding like any one influence and more interested in carrying that tradition forward writing songs that connect, build, and stay with you.
The goal has always been simple: music that feels real, memorable, and built to last.What equipment do you use?
Loose Change records using a blend of modern digital tools and traditional instruments, with a focus on capturing strong performances and authentic tone.
Our setup centers around Studio One for recording and production, along with a mix of electric and acoustic guitars (Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker), bass, live drums, and vocal tracking. We use a combination of amp modeling and mic’d sources depending on the track, always aiming for a sound that supports the song rather than overpowering it.
The approach is straightforward: use the tools that best serve the music, keep the signal chain clean, and focus on performances that feel real and connected.
For us, the gear is important but the song always comes first.Anything else?
Loose Change is built on a long-term commitment to songwriting rather than trends. While many artists chase a moment, we’ve focused on developing a catalog over decades songs that evolve, build, and hold up over time.
Our sound blends classic rock influences with a modern independent approach, allowing us to stay consistent without being static. There’s an emphasis on structure, melody, and lyrical honesty, with each track designed to connect rather than just fill space.
What sets us apart is that this isn’t a project or a phase it’s an ongoing body of work shaped over years, with the same core identity driving everything forward.
