1. Can I download a beat from this website just for listening or freestyling?
Yes, but beats downloaded from RockItPro.com can only be used for nonprofit and noncommercial purposes, you can not make any profit using our beats unless you first purchase a Lease or Exclusive Rights. Acceptable nonprofit and noncommercial formats include posting the recorded track on your personal website or a community website like Soundclick or Myspace where you offer your music for free download, burning CD’s for your friends and family, or handing out a promotional demo. Anything that seems commercial, profitable, or large-scale to you is probably not acceptable. Lastly, if you use one of our beats you must remember to give credit to Rock It Productions and provide a link to our website www.RockItPro.com
2. What are the differences between Leasing Rights and Exclusive Rights?
With Leasing Rights, you are allowed to make one master recording for profitable commercial purposes and you can sell that recording for up to 2,000 copies through a profitable medium (i.e. LP, EP, mixtapes, internet paid downloads). Leasing Rights also entitles you to radio play with your song and live shows/performances. Your Leasing Rights contract can be extended (1) time increasing the limitation to 4,000 copies. Leasing Rights remain intact even after Exclusive Rights are sold to someone else later on, as long as your Leasing Rights were purchased beforehand.
With Exclusive Rights, you can make multiple master recordings for all profitable commercial or broadcast purposes. Exclusive rights also guarantees that the beat will no longer be sold or offered for download to anyone else.
3. How do I buy a beat from your website?
Next to each beat there is an L and E icon button. The L button is for Leasing Rights and E button is for Exclusive Rights. When you have decided on which beat you want to purchase, all you have to do is click the desired icon button for the rights you want and add the beat to your shopping cart. You can then continue to shop for more beats or you can Check Out and make your payment. When you decide to Check Out, you’ll be taken to the PayPal payment page where you can pay with a Credit Card or login in to your PayPal account and pay with PayPal funds. Once payment is received and cleared, you will receive an e-mail within 12-24 hours with a download link to the full mixed version of the beat in Wav data format and each separate part of the beat tracked out in Wav data format. We will also mail you an official signed and dated paper contract granting you rights to the beat.
4. Is it safe and secure to purchase on this website?
Yes. All RockItPro.com orders are processed directly through PayPal’s secure website, you never have to input your Credit Card information on our site.
As long as you Leased your beat before the Exclusive Rights were sold, all your rights remain intact as described on your contract.
6. Can I buy the Exclusive Rights later on if I purchased a Lease first?
If Exclusive Rights have not already been sold then yes, you can upgrade your Lease to an Exclusive Rights contract and you will only be charged the difference in price.
7. Instead of a beat from your website, I want a beat no one has heard, I want it to be made just for me like I want it, is this possible?
Yes, Custom beats can be made just for you. Your Custom beat is never released on our website, never Leased or sold, and never heard by anyone until you have released your album. Prices start at $500 per Custom beat.
Custom beats will be tailored to your exact description and details given to us, once we have received your description, we will work on your beat and e-mail you a 128kbps Mp3 sample of your beat within 1-3 days. Once the beat is agreed on and full payment is received, we will mail you the beat tracked out in .wav file format and an official Rock It Productions Exclusive Rights contract granting you full 100% rights to your Custom beat. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please Contact Us.
8. How do I know you won’t rip me off? You could just take my money and never send me the beat and contract! How can I trust you?
Rock It Productions has been doing business on the internet for more than eight years now, we’ve never had an unsatisfied customer after working with hundreds of artists and companies from all over the world. We also get a lot of return buyers that liked our work and way of doing business so much that they came back for more. We know how it is doing business with a company you don’t know very well and for that reason we have put together a list of testimonies from some of our past clients that got what they paid for and were very pleased with the product and professional manner we do business in. Please check out the Testimonies section of our website.
9. Will you produce for me for free? Can I have a beat for free to use on my album I’ll be selling? We can split the profits 50/50.
No. We do not do anything for free, or for trade, or for promised royalties with no upfront fee under any circumstances. Our prices are affordable for everyone and if you’re serious about making money off your music and would like to establish a legitimate reputation, then you should not mind investing in a Lease.
