Yes, all of our SONG RECORDING LICENSE℠ options (Lease, Premium, Unlimited) are royalty-free. This means that once you've placed an order and completed your recording, you can commercially use the song without paying royalties for each use. Be sure to review the specific terms and conditions of the license to understand any other obligations or restrictions that may apply.

All files are delivered in WAV and MP3 formats. For licenses that include STEMS (in WAV), which comprise of the isolate instruments such as the kick, snare, bass, hi hat, vocals, etc. these files are downloadable within a compressed zip.

Also, Beats with Vox will be within a compressed zip labeled WAV or MP3, as they include both versions, with and without the main vocals, so you have the option of performing your own chorus sections.

For downloading on mobile devices, you can use your Dropbox account to directly download the files for access in the studio. You can always work on writing your songs anytime using the demo version, while streaming directly from the audio playlist or product page.

You can now easily download your personalized PDF License with each order. The document will include your name, beat title(s), date of license, license type, and full terms of use. This convenient feature eliminates the need to manually combine your license with the order receipt. Your PDF License is accessible directly from your account, order confirmation email, and the order success page. This makes managing your licenses faster and hassle-free.

Of course! For Beats with Vox™ (previously referred to as 'Hooks'), your licensed downloads will automatically include both versions—with and without the main vocals. This gives you the flexibility to perform your own vocals on the chorus sections of your song. Both versions are provided in compressed ZIP files, labeled 'WAV' and 'MP3' for easy access.

Each license type under the SONG RECORDING LICENSE™ comes with specific streaming and sales caps. For example, the Standard Lease allows up to 5,000 sales in digital (MP3) or physical formats (CD, vinyl, etc.), along with up to 500,000 for-profit streams, all royalty-free. The Premium License offers higher limits, with up to 15,000 sales and 1.5 million streams, also royalty-free. No need to worry if you exceed these limits—upgrading to the Unlimited option is easy and only requires paying the difference in cost.

Yes, you are permitted to register your song recording with a Performance Rights Organization (PRO). When doing so, keep in mind:

• Recording Registration Only: Ensure your registration with the PRO covers only the recording itself. The underlying beat should not be included in this registration to avoid any confusion or incorrect claims.
• Music Composer Royalties: Unless otherwise specified on the product page for the respective beat, it is not required to include the Music Composer for royalty splits.

Following these guidelines ensures a smooth PRO registration process and upholds the respect for rights and contributions of all involved parties.

What Are Sync Placements?
Sync placements refer to the integration of music with visual content like TV shows, films, advertisements, video games, and trailers. Obtaining a sync placement means securing the rights, typically through a licensing agreement, to use a specific piece of music within a visual project.

Can I Use My Songs for Sync Placements?
Only the Unlimited License allows you to use your fully recorded songs for sync placements on a 100% royalty-free basis, subject to certain conditions.

• Whole Song Usage: Only the complete song recording, inclusive of the beat, can be used for sync placements. Isolating the beat for use without the full song is prohibited.
• Non-exclusive License: As the license is non-exclusive, ensure any publishers or parties interested in your song receive a copy of your SONG RECORDING LICENSE℠ to understand the usage terms.
• Song Completeness: Only full song recordings qualify for sync placements. Tracks consisting solely of adlibs are not considered complete and are ineligible.

These guidelines aim to facilitate clear, fair agreements for all parties in the sync placement process.

No, clearing any samples is the responsibility of the music producer before the beat is released. This includes all elements used in the beat, such as vocals, instruments, Virtual Studio Technology (VSTs), drums, effects, and other samples. As a recording artist, you can start profiting from your song immediately, knowing that all copyrighted material within the beat has been properly licensed.

Absolutely. You're encouraged to customize the beat to perfectly suit your song project. This customization can include adding or removing sounds, as well as adjusting the tempo and pitch of the instrumental to meet your specific needs. However, please keep in mind the following guidelines:

• Usage Restrictions: Our instrumentals are provided solely for the purpose of song recording. They cannot be used for remixing or as samples in new music productions. This restriction is in place to respect the original composition while allowing for your personal creative flair within your song projects.
• Credit Format: Proper acknowledgment of contributions is valued. When crediting your song, please include your name and any modifications or instrumental additions in the following format:

Produced by SINIMA BEATS
Additional Edits by John Doe

Incorporating modifications such as tempo and pitch adjustments allows for a broader range of creative expression, ensuring your final piece aligns with your artistic vision. We appreciate your adherence to these guidelines, which aim to foster a respectful and collaborative music creation environment.

Yes, you can copyright your song recording, even if it incorporates a non-exclusively licensed beat. When doing so, remember the following to ensure proper protection and compliance:

1. Original Contribution & Derivative Work: Your copyright will cover the original content you contribute to the song—such as lyrics and melodies—as well as the arrangement and production of the recording. Since your work includes a non-exclusively licensed beat, it's considered a derivative work based on the original beat.
2. Identifying the Source: When registering your copyright, it's important to clearly identify the work as a derivative by including the title or identifiable information of the original composition (the beat) you licensed. This clarification helps avoid confusion regarding the scope of your copyright and respects the original creator's rights.
3. Rights and Limitations: While you can copyright the derivative work you've created, the rights to the underlying beat remain with its original creator. Your non-exclusive license grants you permission to use the beat but does not convey ownership of it.
4. Copyright Registration: Registering your derivative song recording with the appropriate copyright office provides a formal claim to your contribution. This step is crucial for enforcing your rights against unauthorized uses and resolving disputes effectively.
5. Compliance with License Terms: Ensure that your use of the beat complies with the terms outlined in your non-exclusive license agreement, including any specific requirements about copyright registration, attribution, and permitted uses.
6. Protection Offered: Copyrighting your derivative work affords protection for your contributions to the recording, allowing you to take legal action if necessary against infringement while recognizing the original beat creator’s rights.

By acknowledging your work as a derivative and clearly identifying the source material in your copyright registration, you navigate the legal landscape respectfully and responsibly, safeguarding your interests and those of the original creator.

Licensing a beat non-exclusively grants you specific rights to use the beat, such as incorporating it into your music and commercially distributing your songs. However, a non-exclusive license does not transfer ownership of the beat or its master recording. Here’s what this typically includes:

1. Rights to Use: You are permitted to use the beat according to the terms of the license (e.g., for creating and distributing songs), while the original creator retains ownership of the beat.
2. Shared Use: Since the license is non-exclusive, the creator can license the beat to other artists, meaning multiple artists may legally use the same beat for their songs.
3. Master Ownership: While you may own the master recording of the song you create with a non-exclusively licensed beat, you do not own the master of the beat itself. This distinction is key when it comes to distribution, reproduction, and monetization. For example, services like YouTube Content ID and audio fingerprinting are not permitted, as they assume exclusive control over the beat. This policy prevents conflicts with others who have legitimate rights to use the same beat.
4. Control Over the Beat: The original creator retains control over the beat at all times.
5. Credit: Please credit the music producer as specified when the beat was obtained. If it's impractical to include credit, you may omit it.

Currently, we do not offer Exclusive Rights. However, we are actively working on enhancements, so please check back with us for updates! In the meantime, you can always license the beats non-exclusively through our Lease, Premium, or Unlimited options.
