For Artists/Licensees
1. Can I download my files after purchase?
Yes, you will receive an email with instructions to download your files almost immediately after purchase.
2. What type of ways can I license a beat for commercial use?
There are two types of purchasing methods — non-exclusive rights and exclusive rights. Exclusive rights will grant you unlimited rights in all aspects. You would technically be “buying out” the track. Non-exclusive rights, on the other hand, have limitations. Tracks For Higher offers three types of non-exclusive licenses (leases): standard license, distribution license, and synchronization license. A standard license allows multiple rights for a song using the track including 100 non-profit copies. A distribution license allows you to make and sell 2000 physical copies or digital downloads. A synchronization license will allow you to use the track itself, not a song over the track, for soundtrack use on one medium. For more detailed information see our licensing information page.
3. What if someone buys the exclusive rights license after I already bought a non-exclusive rights license to the same track?
Nothing. As long as you made the purchase before the exclusive rights being sold off, all your rights remain intact as described on your certificate of licensing. However, you will no longer be able to purchase additional rights to the same track. We encourage you to buy the exclusive rights as soon as you realize you need such rights due to the first-come first-serve policy.
4. Are sound tags or producer signatures removed after purchase?
Yes, any sound tags or producer signatures are removed from the track when you purchase the track.
5. Why can’t I buy exclusive rights to certain tracks?
The offering of exclusive rights is under the discretion of the producer. In this case, the producer has elected not to sell exclusive rights automatically through Tracksforhigher.com.
6. Why should I license a beat if other people can license the same beat?
There are two primary reasons why licensing/leasing works. First, the copy limits imposed basically discourages someone from distributing a song with the track on a nationwide or worldwide basis and limits it to a more local basis. This minimizes the chances of two songs clashing with the same beat. This creates fair play amongst all of our clients who license a track non-exclusively. If a person is ready for more than 2,000 copies, we encourage them to purchase the exclusive rights. The second reason is that talent, skill, and exposure plays a large role in buying a blanket license. We believe if you have these any of these three key factors, it should not concern you that other people are buying a license for the same track. If your song becomes a hit, the audience will think that other people on the same track are using “your” track.
7. Can I license tracks for non-artist or non-performance purposes such as a soundtrack for video games or film?
Absolutely. Just select the Synchronization License option during the checkout process.
8. What are the exact steps to purchasing a track?
You can browse through the tracks in the Track Genres or Moods and then click the ‘BUY LICENSE’ button corresponding to the desired track. Payment options include all major credit cards or Paypal. As soon as payment is received, you will be able to immediately download the high quality master file and the certificate of licensing in PDF format.
9. Do you create original tracks the way I want them?
Yes, our producers have an extensive resume of placements with major artists and companies — please contact info@ tracksforhigher.com for custom production details. A minimum budget of $1,000 is expected.
10. How soon can I expect my tracks after making payment?
Upon successful authorization of payment by credit card or Paypal, you will immediately receive a download link to obtain the master file of the track you purchased along with the certificate of licensing. Track separation files are uploaded by the corresponding producer and may vary anywhere from 1 to 5 days. You can check the average upload time of the producer at the track separation option page when purchasing a track.
11. Can I make a return after purchase?
No, all sales are final and we do not offer any returns. All tracks on our site are non-refundable and non-transferable. Please make sure you select the right track before purchase.
12. I have some songs I made on your producers’ tracks — could I send them to you or your producers?
