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?

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.
Masha Stepina-piano( Russia-Netherlands)
Wim Essed-bass(Netherlands)
Hans van OosterhoutBand/artist history
Masha Stepina is a young Russian pianist and composer who started piano lessons when six years old, both parents being accomplished musicians.
At the Rostov college of Arts in her hometown Rostov-on-Don, she later studied classic and jazz theory and graduated with "Variety Musical Art Theory Teacher", and "Variety Orchestras and Ensemble Leader" qualifications.
Although doubting to concentrate on classical or jazz piano when taking up her advanced studies at the S.V.Rakhmaninov Conservatory, she entered in the end as a theory student and after five years of intensive studies with the best teachers in the south of the country , graduated with several more qualifications: "Musicologist-Teacher" and "Music Life Organizer†in the Speciality of Musicology. Also in this time she started composing jazz songs.
During this period she took up teaching at the Rostov College of Arts as a theory teacher, with duties in music history, piano and jazz-ensemble departments, among other subjects as well.
At the same time she developed and published a few educational programs for use in music colleges.
Outside the college she was teaching small children from the age of four at the Music School for Gifted Children, apart from working in several regular music schools.
But after seven years of teaching, playing the piano as a main occupation became more and more tempting and after much doubt Masha decided to give up her quite successful career in education and decided to come to Holland and study jazz piano.
There she studied with Johan Clement and Rob van Bavel and received her Bachelor Degree at the Rotterdam Conservatory in 2006, after which she went on to a Master study at the Maastricht/Tilburg Conservatory which she has successfully graduated in 2008. There Masha took lessons with Rob van Bavel, Kris Goessens, Randal Corsen, Jeroen van Vliet, Martin Fondse and Bart van Dongen.
During that education Masha had a great experience with following master-classes of John Taylor, Barry Harris, Harold Danko, Antonio Farat, Mike Garson, Frans Elsen.
Since 2007 Masha works as a piano accompanist at the Rotterdam Dance Academy of Contemporary Art.
In 2007-2008 she has got produced by the MuziekLab Brabant for a project "ContemporaryOrthodox" - Russian folklore traditions through a prism of contemporary art. This project gave Masha great opportunity to present herself as pianist, composer, producer, performer, organizer.
Double bassist Wim Essed and drummer Hans van Oosterhout are both seasoned performers and educators;after all ,Masha met them at the Rotterdam Conservatory,where they have been working for many years.They bring along a great deal of empathy and imaginatory playing,which adds to the atmospheric peculiarity of the music,but respecting the intrinsic flavour of the compositions.
Trio is working , not so much on changing , but looking deeper into possibilities of creating different musical strata and approaches in the traditional trio set up.
The trio performs original material from Masha's pen. When listening to her compositions one will experience a wealth of musical legacy as well as glimpses of things yet to come. Besides the obvios jazz and pop connections there is a clear classic heritage; one can detect influences from Bach to the great Late Romantic Russian composers like Skriabin and Rachmaninov . Just as well one could point at the unusual structures and sometimes special , but clear forms of the pieces, the impressionistic and expressionistic ways of musical development and improvisations or the multi - layered and counterpointed way of interpretation.
The sound of the trio can thus vary from agitated and busy ( Modern Life) to stillness and restraint evocating a wide Russian Landscape in winter( January, White Spaces). Anyhow, the music has quite a bit of describing and colorful aspects and as such often feels like the soundtrack for an until now unmade movie. A movie that would clearly need some nostalgic and longing scenes to fit to the sound of the Masha Stepina piano trio.Your musical influences

Masha,
January is a fine piece of music. You seem to be playing without the need to communicate any other way than through the music itself.
Brings up my mood on a rainy Monday morning.
Tot ziens
