Beats
What Are Royalty Split Beats?
A royalty-split beat is licensed in exchange for an agreed share of revenue from the song you make with it.
Read the full guideWhat Are Beat Stems?
Stems are separate audio parts of an instrumental, such as drums, bass and melodies. They give you more control when mixing a vocal with the beat.
Read the full guideWhat does 'free for profit' mean when using beats?
You can create a commercial song without an upfront licensing fee under the applicable royalty-split agreement. Free upfront does not mean copyright-free.
Read the full guideDo I need to give credit to the producer when using a free-for-profit beat?
Follow the producer credit requirements in your beat license. Keep the correct producer name with your release information.
Read the full guideCan I monetize my music on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music?
BeatSplit’s royalty-split model supports commercial releases under your license. Review the agreement and each platform’s requirements before distributing or monetizing your song.
Read the full guideAre there any restrictions on the number of streams or sales?
Use the limits and permissions in your issued license as the source of truth for streams and sales.
Read the full guideCan I perform live using a track that contains a free-for-profit beat?
Check that your beat license covers your planned live performance. A free download alone is not proof of performance permission.
Read the full guideCan I make changes to a beat I downloaded (e.g., remixing, adding effects)?
Review the license for permitted edits. Changing the arrangement or sound does not remove the producer’s rights or the agreed royalty obligations.
Read the full guideIs there a difference between a free-for-profit beat and a leased beat?
The labels describe different offers, but the actual agreement decides the fee, royalties, exclusivity and permitted uses.

Why do I need Spotify to create an account?
Spotify is not required simply to create a BeatSplit account. Certain artist features may require connecting or verifying an artist profile.
Read the full guideHow can I reset my password?
Use Forgot Password on the login screen and follow the reset email for your account.
Read the full guideCan I change my email address?
Your email is read-only in the current account settings. Contact support if you need to change it or have lost access to that address.
Read the full guideHow do I delete my account?
Use Delete Account in your account settings. Your account and public profile are deactivated straight away, and you can restore it for 180 days by signing in again. After that, personal information we no longer need is deleted or anonymised. Records needed for licenses and royalty splits, transactions, fraud and abuse prevention, disputes or legal obligations are kept. Deleting and recreating an account does not reset free downloads, credits, trials or other one-time benefits you have used.
Read the full guideCan I recover a deleted account?
Yes, for 180 days after you delete it. Sign in with the same email or sign-in method and BeatSplit will ask whether you want to restore the account. It is only restored if you confirm.
Read the full guideIs my payment information stored securely?
Use BeatSplit’s checkout and billing controls to manage payment details. Do not share full card details, passwords or security codes in support messages.
Read the full guideWhat should I do if I suspect unauthorized access to my account?
Secure your sign-in credentials and contact BeatSplit support promptly. Review your email account and any connected sign-in provider too.
Read the full guideLicenses
What is a beat license?
A beat license is the agreement that sets out how you may use an instrumental and what obligations apply to your release.
Read the full guideWhat are the different types of licenses available?
Review the license and download options shown for the beat. Audio formats, membership benefits and legal permissions are related but separate parts of the offer.
Read the full guideHow long does a license last?
Check the duration and termination provisions in your issued beat license. Membership billing periods do not by themselves define a beat license’s duration.
Read the full guideCan I transfer my license to someone else?
Do not assume you can transfer your beat license. Check the named licensee and the agreement’s transfer restrictions before another person uses it.
Read the full guideDo I need a license to perform live with a beat?
Have permission that covers the live use you plan. A free event does not automatically remove the need for a beat license.
Read the full guideWhat happens if I use a beat without a license?
Using an instrumental without the required permission can lead to rights disputes or a release being challenged. Resolve licensing before publishing.
Read the full guideIs the beat removed from the website if I get a license?
A non-exclusive license allows other artists to license the same instrumental. It does not normally remove the beat from the catalog.
