If you have been trying to finish your song because you can't find good beats
, then here are 3 tips to make your own beats without costing you an arm or a leg.
1) Adding Flavor to Your Song with Royalty Free Beats
There are many of royalty free beats on the web that you can definitely make use of to add to your own song. Be sure to check their limitation though. If you are using the beats for educational programs or recording as background tracks etc. Then using these beats as it is, should be no problem.
However, if you are going to use the beats in your song that you plan to sell, then you will have to make some changes to the beats and license every beats that you use. This however may result in a hefty cost.
2) Buy Exclusive or Non-Exclusive Licensed Beats
This is one other option for you to think about but note that you'll have to pay for every beat you select. Non-exclusive licensed beats allow you to use the beats in your song which is cheaper than exclusive license.
However, there are a couple drawbacks with non-exclusive licensed beats. The producer might still sell the same beats to other people with a non-exclusive license and request you to give credit on the back of your cd.
We really don't want someone else having the same beats? Especially if we were to use the beats in songs that we are going to sell. Exclusive license on the other hand is where the producer gives you rights to own the beats and will not resell the same beats to others. The bad thing is, an exclusive licensed for beats is expensive.
3) Make Your Own Unique Beats with a Beats Making Software
This is the only option that guaranteed the beats that you are using is unique and original and at the same time the most cheapest way of all. However, you'll have to have some creativity and patience. A great beat creating software will come with good editing tools with a friendly interface that will reduce your learning curve. You will have the freedom to make as many royalty free beats without paying additional fees or worrying about violating any copyright laws.
