Question 1

What is the difference between an exclusive and non-exclusive beat license?

Accepted Answer

A non-exclusive license (also called a lease) allows you to use the beat while the producer retains ownership and can continue selling it to other artists. You get limited usage rights based on your license tier (stream limits, distribution caps). An exclusive license means you purchase full ownership of the beat - it's removed from sale permanently and you get unlimited usage rights. No other artist can ever use that beat. Exclusive licenses cost more but give you complete control and ownership of the instrumental.

Question 2

How do I license a beat from Khrome Beats for streaming platforms?

Accepted Answer

All Khrome Beats licenses allow distribution on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Tidal, and SoundCloud. Simply choose the license tier that matches your expected reach: Basic License covers up to 10,000 streams, Premium License covers up to 100,000 streams, and Exclusive License gives unlimited streams. After purchase, you'll receive official license documentation that you can use to clear any Content ID claims on platforms like YouTube.

Question 3

What license should I choose for my project?

Accepted Answer

Choose based on your release plans and expected reach. Basic License is perfect for demos, mixtapes, and smaller releases with limited distribution (up to 10,000 streams). Premium License works for most independent releases targeting moderate success (up to 100,000 streams). If you're planning a major release, want radio play, or simply want to own the beat outright with no limitations, go with the Exclusive License. Visit our licensing page for a detailed comparison of all license tiers and their terms.

Question 4

Can I upgrade my license later if my song blows up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can upgrade your license at any time, as long as the beat hasn't been sold exclusively to another artist. Contact us with your original purchase details and we'll apply what you've already paid toward the upgraded license. We always recommend artists upgrade before exceeding their license limits to stay legally compliant.

Question 5

How do I download my beats after purchase?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is instant and automatic. As soon as your payment processes, you'll receive immediate access to download your beats through BeatStars. You'll also get a confirmation email with download links. All purchases include high-quality MP3 (320kbps) and WAV files.

Question 6

How long does it take to receive files after purchase?

Question 7

What file formats do I receive with my purchase?

Accepted Answer

Basic licenses include MP3 (320kbps) and WAV files. Premium licenses include MP3, WAV, plus tracked-out stems (individual instrument files) so you can mix and customize the beat. Exclusive licenses include all of the above plus the original project files upon request. All files are untagged, high-quality, and ready for professional release.

Question 8

What are stems and do I need them?

Accepted Answer

Stems are individual audio tracks that make up the beat - separate files for drums, bass, melody, synths, etc. They allow you or your mixing engineer to adjust levels, EQ, or even remove elements to create more space for your vocals. If you're serious about getting a professional mix, stems are highly recommended. They're included with Premium and Exclusive licenses.

Question 9

Can I get a custom beat made by Khrome Beats?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We offer custom beat production tailored to your exact vision. Here's how it works: You share your references (songs you like), describe the vibe, tempo, and any specific elements you want. We'll create 2-3 concepts for you to choose from, then refine your chosen direction until it's perfect. Custom beats come with full exclusive ownership rights and are never resold to other artists. Contact us to discuss your project and get a quote.

Question 10

How much does a custom beat cost?

Accepted Answer

Custom beat pricing varies based on complexity, turnaround time, and your specific requirements. Prices typically start at $300 for a standard custom beat with exclusive rights. Rush orders and complex productions may cost more. Contact us with your project details and we'll provide a personalized quote within 24 hours.

Question 11

How long does custom beat production take?

Accepted Answer

Standard turnaround for custom beats is 5-7 business days from the initial deposit. This includes time for concept creation, revisions, and final delivery. Rush orders (2-3 days) are available for an additional fee. We'll keep you updated throughout the process and ensure you're 100% satisfied before final delivery.

Question 12

Do you offer bulk discounts on beats?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer excellent bulk deals to help you build your catalog: Buy 2 beats and get 2 FREE (4 total), or buy 4 beats and get 10 FREE (14 total). These deals apply automatically at checkout on BeatStars. Plus, first-time customers can use code WELCOME15 for 15% off. These discounts can stack, so you can save significantly when purchasing multiple beats.

Question 13

Is there a discount code for first-time buyers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Use code WELCOME15 at checkout to get 15% off your first purchase. This code works on all license types - Basic, Premium, and Exclusive. It can also be combined with our bulk deals (Buy 2 Get 2 Free, Buy 4 Get 10 Free) for maximum savings.

Accepted Answer

We accept all major payment methods through BeatStars including credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, and Apple Pay. All transactions are secure and encrypted. For custom beat orders or exclusive negotiations, we can also accommodate bank transfers.

Question 15

Can I use your beats on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All our licenses allow distribution on every major streaming platform including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Tidal, SoundCloud, Audiomack, and more. Each license tier has different stream/download limits, so choose the one that matches your expected reach. You'll receive official license documentation to handle any Content ID claims.

Question 16

What happens if I get a Content ID claim on YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Some beats may trigger Content ID due to our producer tags in preview versions. Simply submit your license agreement through YouTube's dispute process - this is standard procedure and claims are typically released within a few days. Your license documentation clearly proves your right to use the beat. If you have any issues, contact us and we'll help resolve it.

Question 17

Can I use beats for commercial purposes like ads or film?

Accepted Answer

Basic and Premium licenses are for music releases only (songs, albums, mixtapes). For commercial uses like TV placements, films, advertisements, video games, or sync licensing, you'll need an Exclusive License or a separate sync license. Contact us to discuss commercial licensing options for your specific project.

Question 18

Do I need to credit Khrome Beats when releasing a song?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all non-exclusive licenses require producer credit. Simply include 'Prod. by Khrome Beats' or 'Produced by Khrome Beats' in your song title, description, or credits. This helps both of us - you show you're using professional production, and it helps other artists discover quality beats. Exclusive license holders have the option to waive the credit requirement.

Question 19

What if I have issues with my purchase or download?

Accepted Answer

We're here to help! Contact us through our contact page or email and we typically respond within 24 hours (often much faster). Whether you need help with downloads, have licensing questions, or need assistance with Content ID claims, we've got your back. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Question 20

Can I get on a call to discuss my project?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We offer personal consultation calls for artists working on larger projects, needing custom beats, or wanting guidance on choosing the right beats for their sound. Many of our artists have hopped on calls with us to discuss their vision, and we've helped them find or create the perfect instrumentals. Contact us to schedule a call.

Question 21

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Due to the digital nature of beats (instant download access), we generally don't offer refunds once files have been accessed. However, if you experience technical issues or didn't receive your files, contact us immediately and we'll resolve the situation. We stand behind our products and your satisfaction matters to us.
