Buying Hip Hop Instrumental Beats - Don't Get Scammed

By William Oriley

Are you a rapper? If so, then you will need some great hip hop instrumental beats which your lyrics can then be laid over. When deciding what sorts of instrumentals to use with your lyrics there are a number of things that should be considered before purchasing some for your hip hop music production needs. In this article we offer a few tips in regards to what you should be looking for.

Tip 1 - The first thing you need to do before you purchase any beats is to decide whether you will be creating songs that you can sell or just to demonstrate your skills. Once you have decided this then you can look for those producers who offer hip hop instrumentals with non-exclusive or exclusive licenses. If you are going for instrumentals with exclusive licenses these will cost you more to purchase.

Tip 2 - If you are intending to go for ones with exclusive licenses then ensure that you confirm with the hip hop music producer that these hip hop instrumental beats will not be made available to other artists. Don't be afraid to ask for written confirmation or get a contract signed confirming that you have sole use of the instrumentals that the hip hop music production company have provided.

Tip 3 - Before you go ahead and purchase any beats you should listen to them carefully beforehand. This way you are able to check the sound quality of the mix. However, it doesn't need to be perfect because once you or your sound engineer starting laying down the lyrics they will more then likely be tweaked a bit. What you should be listening for (before you purchase) is beats that sound clear, not crowded or muddy.

Tip 4 - To avoid being scammed you must ensure that the producer you are using for your hip hop instrumental beats is one that can easily be contacted. Make sure that the contact information they provide is not only an e-mail address but a postal one and also a contact telephone number. It is a good idea to contact them beforehand to evaluate how professional they are with their clients before you make your purchase.

Tip 5 - Make sure that you choose those sites that offer you good audio previews to allow you to listen to what they offer before purchasing. If the sound quality is poor on these sites then being able to gauge the quality of their hip hop instrumental beats becomes difficult and you won't be able to determine how good they will sound when including them in your hip hop music production.

Tip 6 - If you plan on buying a large amount of hip hop instrumental beats then don't hesitate to ask the seller if they offer discounts or special rates on large orders. As you will soon discover, a great many of these hip hop music production companies are more than willing to offer such deals as they need the extra work themselves....especially in this economy.

Keep the above tips in mind and you are going to find yourself making far more informed purchases when it comes to the hip hop instrumental beats you need. Along with you getting the right sorts of beats to match your lyrics you may also discover that you end up saving a substantial amount of money. - 18780
