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?

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.

Band/artist history
I have always had a love for music, I started by taking piano lessons and singing at the age of 7. Then saxophone at 12, and about that time The Beatles came on the scene and I learned to play guitar. I went on to play music professionally in 1969 and finally settled in Roanoke Virginia with a band called The Divots. After the band broke up, I had it with music so I didnt pick up my guitar until many years later. In 1989, I was exposed to Praise and Worship music and once again I was hooked. I became the worship director at our church. Thats when I started writing Christian music and Praise and Worship songs. Right now I am looking for direction to the rest of my life. I am feeling like I am being drawn towards music yet again.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
When I was the Frontman, Lead Vocalist for The Divots we where the opening act for a few of the more popular bands at that time. I will never forget the first big venue we played, opening for Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose.
Your musical influences
The Beatles, Styx, Chicago, Michael W Smith, and most bands and artists from the new Contemporary Christian labels.
