The artist guide — one subscription, the whole catalog
What GETMUSIC is and how it works for artists: one subscription, the whole beat catalog, a real licence on every download, and releases that stay cleared forever. Plans, rights, and straight answers.
If this is the first page you've landed on: GETMUSIC is a beat platform that works like a streaming service instead of a store. You don't buy beats one at a time — you subscribe once, and the entire catalog opens up. Every download comes untagged, with a real licence attached to your account. Record on as many beats as you want, release the tracks you believe in, and everything you release stays cleared forever.
The reason it exists is simple math. Buying leases one at a time runs $25–50 each. Three leases already cost more than a month here — and you still only have three beats.
How it works, start to finish
Subscribe. One plan unlocks the entire catalog. The plans differ by the file formats you download — MP3, WAV or full trackout stems — not by how many beats you can take. Downloads are unlimited on every plan.
Find your sound. Search by type, mood, BPM or key. Save what hits, or hit Surprise Me. If you already know what you want it to sound like, paste a YouTube reference and the AI surfaces beats from the catalog with a similar vibe, tempo and feel — instead of you scrolling type-beat playlists for hours.
Download — untagged, licensed. Every download is untagged and creates a licence record tied to your account and the producer. That's a real contract you can show a distributor, not a grey-area free grab from YouTube.
Record on everything. This is the part per-beat buyers never get to do: demo on five beats to find the one that deserves the full song. A download costs you nothing extra, so nothing forces you to finish a track you stopped believing in.
Release and keep it. Drop your track while your subscription is active and it stays licensed forever — even if you cancel later. The licence attaches at release and doesn't expire.
The plans
| Plan | Price | You download | Royalties |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic / MP3 | $29/mo | MP3 master | 100% yours |
| WAV Unlimited | $49/mo | WAV + MP3 | 100% yours |
| Trackout | $99/mo | Stems + WAV + MP3 | 100% yours |
Pay yearly and the same plans run $16 / $24 / $41 a month, billed annually. And if you want to feel it before committing, there's a 3-day WAV Unlimited trial for $1 — cancel any time from Settings, you keep access until the 3 days are up.
Three things worth reading twice:
- There is no streaming limit on any plan. A track released on the $29 plan can be streamed without limit, on any platform, for as long as it's up. Plans differ by formats, not by how much your record is allowed to be played.
- Your royalties are 100% yours — on every plan. Whatever your track earns from streaming and sales goes to you. Your distributor pays you, nobody else has a hand in it, and GETMUSIC never sits between you and your money.
- Publishing is split 50/50. The producer wrote half the record, so they keep a 50% writer's share of the composition — the industry standard on any beat, leased or exclusive. It's passive: they collect their songwriter royalties through their PRO, and you keep full control of your track. The full breakdown is in what you actually own when you lease a beat.
- Which format do you actually need? MP3 is the quick-start. WAV is studio quality for mixing. Trackout gives a mix engineer the separated stems and full control. One question decides it — is someone mixing this record? There's a whole article on picking one.
What you own — the honest version
Every beat you take is a non-exclusive leasing licence. Non-exclusive means the producer can license the same beat to other artists too — that's the trade that makes unlimited access possible. What you get is the right to release your track worldwide, permanently, with no running fees.
If you want a beat off the market entirely, some producers sell exclusives — from $150, bought separately outside the subscription. With an exclusive, the recording becomes fully yours; the producer keeps a standard writer's share of the composition. Only worth thinking about when a record is taking off — and by then it's a good problem to have.
What happens if you cancel
The question everyone actually wants answered, so here it is in full:
- Everything you released while subscribed stays licensed forever. Nothing comes down, nothing needs re-clearing, no one emails your distributor. Cancel a month later or never come back — your back catalog is safe.
- What stops is new activity. No new downloads, and no releasing tracks you haven't released yet. The catalog closes; your releases don't.
- Resubscribe any time and everything opens back up. One click to cancel from Settings → Billing, no lock-in, no exit call.
The one mistake to avoid: don't sit on finished tracks and release them after cancelling. The licence needs your subscription to be active on release day. Release first, then cancel — never the other way round.

Straight answers
Can I actually release songs with these beats — Spotify, Apple, everywhere? Yes. That's the whole point. Release while subscribed and the track is licensed forever, on any platform.
Do I own the beat? You own your track and a permanent licence to the beat under it. The beat itself stays the producer's — they can license it to others unless you buy it exclusively.
Is the licence something a distributor will accept? Yes — every download creates a licence record tied to your account with the producer named. It's the paperwork per-beat stores give you, minus the per-beat part.
Two artists can release on the same beat? Yes — that's what non-exclusive means, and it's true of every lease on every beat store. Your song, your vocals and your master are yours; the instrumental is shared.
What is AI reference matching? Paste a YouTube link to a track you love and the catalog is matched for beats with a similar vibe, tempo and feel. Fastest way in if you know your sound.
Can I try before paying? The catalog is open — walk in and press play. And $1 buys you 3 full days of WAV Unlimited: downloads, licences, everything. Cancel from Settings if it's not for you.
