Frequently asked questions
What should a beat lease invoice include?
A beat lease invoice should include the license tier (MP3, WAV, trackout, unlimited, or exclusive), the beat name or reference, usage rights granted, any distribution limits, file formats included and the total fee.
What is the difference between a beat lease and exclusive rights?
A lease grants limited usage rights while you retain ownership and can lease the beat to others. Exclusive rights transfer sole ownership to the buyer, removing the beat from sale. Exclusive deals command significantly higher fees.
Should I deliver stems or trackouts with a beat lease?
It depends on the license tier. Basic MP3 and WAV leases typically don't include trackouts. Stem delivery is usually reserved for higher-tier or exclusive purchases. List this clearly on your invoice to avoid confusion.
Is this beat lease invoice template free?
The template page is free to browse. It uses the Editorial design which is part of the Pro plan.
