What does 'free for profit' mean when using beats?

A practical BeatSplit guide, from the quick answer to your next steps.

Your next steps

  1. 01

    Choose a beat

  2. 02

    Read the agreement

  3. 03

    Activate before release

Start with permission

Downloading audio and activating a license are different steps. Review the beat’s agreement before releasing your recording. Keep the producer’s details and your license together with your project files.

Plan for the split

Build the agreed royalty and publishing obligations into your release plan. A song that starts without a licensing payment can still have ongoing revenue-sharing responsibilities.
