Are The Platinum Tracked Out Stem Lease The Same As Exclusive Rights?

Nope I am afraid not! A tracked out stem lease is not exclusive rights. The producer still maintains ownership of the instrumental and can continue to sell the lease of that instrumental to other artists.

The main differences between Tracked out stem leases and the exclusive right is that you still technically renting the instrumental from the music producer. So the producer still has the rights to continue to lease it to other musicians. You do get much better lease rights and distribution right when you purchase a tracked out lease.

If you purchase Exclusive rights from a music producer, he or she can no longer sell the rights to any other artist. The music producer still maintains the publishing of that instrumental but he or she can no longer profit from the leasing of that instrumental.

When up and coming rap artists want to make a mixtape or an album hiring a full-time music producer can’t cost a pretty penny. Most up and coming rappers don’t have the funds to hire a music producer to create rap beats. Nor do hip hop artist’s want to take a massive risk on something that isn’t proven yet.

I have highlight common questions and concerns that most rappers ask when they purchase beats from The Corporatethief Beats.

So What Is A Beat Lease?

Leasing a rap beat is similar to renting a piece of music from a music producer for a certain length of time. You can purchase a lease license for that rap beat from that beat maker. This a much cheaper option of buying rap beats from music producers online. It also narrows the risk which most rappers will face when the launch their music career for the first time.

Most rap beat leases varies in price from $10.00 - $200.00 depending on the lease license and the prices set by the independent music producer. You should note that each beat lease license has different terms in each lease license.

It’s very important that you make sure that you read the lease terms per lease license set by every producer you buy beats lease from.

The drawbacks to leasing rap beats is that the producer can continue to lease the same instrumental to multiple hip hop artists. The music producer can also sell the exclusive rights to anyone.

You will still have your lease rights agreements as the contract will be honored, but you might never full own the exclusive rights and when your lease agreement is up, you might not be able to continue to monetize the song.

What Is A premium Wav Beat Lease?

Premium Rap Beat Lease

A premium wav beat lease is a higher quality format of the instrumental produced by the music producer. Wav format is a much larger file compared to an MP3 which is the very compressed audio format.

Mp3 was created to help send audio online or store audio without taking up too much space. The mp3 player and the iPod popularize the use of the mp3 due to its convenience for music storage and file transfer.

But with the convenience of Mp3 lead to the loss in music quality. Wav files are much larger and can store more data, which in turn gives more room for higher quality audio.

The main benefits are the higher quality audio and higher distribution limits.

Higher quality Wav files stand out much more clear on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Streaming websites.

When music producer sells premium Wav leases they tend to give the Mp3 also just for convenience purposes for the artist to. The final master recording would be carried out on the higher quality have file.

The Wav Premium lease also comes with better lease rights for the artists too. Every producer's lease rights may vary so it’s always a good idea to speak to the producer before you make any purchase.

Just for argument's sake the Premium Wav lease rights at The Corporatethief Beats website includes one commercial recording, distribution rights up to 5000 copies, 100% royalty free music, 5000 paid performances, the use in 2 music videos the beat is untagged, 7000 audio streams Amazon, Spotify, Itunes and credit must be given to the music producer.
