All you need to know about purchasing Beat Leases from Wikked Music

1) What does it mean to lease a beat?

When you purchase a beat lease, you are simply buying the rights to use the beat in a limited and non-exclusive capacity. JXZO retains ownership over the musical composition (just the instrumental).

2) Is it safe to buy beats from Wikked Music?

Yes, all payments are being processed through ApplePay, one of the most newly secure and popular checkout systems in the world. ApplePay allows you to pay securely via Virtual Wallet/ Credit/Debit-Card/super fast and convenient.

3) What happens after I buy the Beat?

After your purchase we immediately send a zip file to your provided email with a copy of your Beat License agreement and the version of Beat File that was purchased.

Bundle/Buy 1 Get 1 purchases are packaged in the zip.

(**Please read your Beat License for usage rights for reference and Content ID protection purposes.**)

4) What bulk discounts do you have and how do I get them?

Buy 1, Get 1 Free: Simply add 2 beats of the same license type to your cart and 1 of them will be for free.

5) Do the beats I purchase come with tags?

All beats purchased come untagged.

6) Can I buy beats from my mobile device?

Yes, but certain mobile devices can have compatibility issues when downloading the files directly to the phone. It is advisable to download the files to your desktop or laptop using the link in the confirmation email you’ll receive after a successful checkout. Don’t worry if you navigate away from the order summary page on your phone, you’ll be linked back to it in the email to get your files.

7) What are stems (trackouts)?

Stems (also known as trackouts) are the individual audio files that make up a beat, meaning each sound within the beat will be sent as a separate high quality WAV audio file. Leases that include stems are ideal if you plan on recording your song in a professional studio and want to have full control over mixing each instrument around your vocals.

8) What happens if I exceed the stream/unit sale limit of my current lease?

You must upgrade your lease to the next tier by contacting us at admindesk@wikkedmusic.com. The cost of the upgrade is simply the price of the new lease minus the amount you already paid for your original lease.

9) What if I purchase a license and then later on, someone else purchases the Exclusive Rights?

The purchase of Exclusive Rights to a beat does not impact the status or validity of previous licensees so you do not need to remove your music from streaming services, social media, etc. for the full term of your lease agreement.

10) What’s the difference between an Unlimited License and an Exclusive?

The usage rights are the same for both: you get unlimited sales, streams, etc. The difference is, if you purchase the Exclusive, the ownership rights to the beat are transferred to you and the beat is immediately removed from my beat store, never to be sold to another artist again. The Unlimited License is still non-exclusive, so even though you get the same usage rights as if you owned the Exclusive, the beat will remain in my beat store for others to lease or buy.

11) How much are the Exclusive Rights to a beat?

Exclusive Rights pricing is variable and negotiable but mostly starting from $1000 and may go up to $10000+.

Email us at admindesk@wikkedmusic.com for more information.

12) Can I use your Beat for free?

Absolutely, any of my beats are only free to use for non-profit purposes. This means that you are allowed to record a demo for further evaluation purposes.

**All use requires credit in the title and description, In order to release on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Soundcloud and similar apps or any future apps you will have to purchase a lease.**

13) I downloaded a free beat but the Lease is gone and the beat is deleted.

I’m ready get a Lease for it. Can I do that?

All beats that are deleted after the 30-45 day mark are catalogued and brought back into rotation on the site. That is, if no leases were purchased. If Leases WERE purchased then just contact us at admindesk@wikkedmusic.com

and we’ll kindly give you more information on how many are left and send you the download link if available.

13) Do you offer refunds? I accidently bought the wrong beat.

In general, due to this being a digital download product, no refunds can be accepted. However I am always open to find a solution, if you simply chose the "wrong" beat.

In this case, please don't hesitate to contact us at admindesk@wikkedmusic.com
