Beat license generator

Fill in the form and get a beat license agreement you can print, save as a PDF or copy. Basic, Premium, Unlimited or Exclusive.

Not legal advice. This is a starting point to edit, not a finished contract. Check it suits your deal, and speak to a lawyer if you need to. Sales through BeatStars or Airbit use those stores’ own licenses, so this is for beats you sell directly.

Files delivered

Picking a license type fills in the files and limits below. They're a starting point: change any of them.

A free tool for producers. It runs in your browser, part of Audia’s way of giving back to the producer community.

Not legal advice. Audia Ltd isn’t a law firm, and this template comes with no guarantee that it suits your situation or the law where you are.

Selling on BeatStars and Airbit too? Audia sets your license pricing from a preset and publishes the beat to both in one go.

How beat licenses work

A beat license lets an artist use your beat in one new song, within the limits you set. With a non-exclusive license you keep selling the beat to other artists. With an exclusive license, the artist is the only one who can buy it from then on.

The four license types

  • Basic is an MP3 with the lowest limits. This generator starts it at 50,000 streams, 2,000 sales, one music video, no radio and non-profit shows only.
  • Premium adds the WAV and raises the limits to 500,000 streams, 10,000 sales, one music video and two radio stations.
  • Unlimited adds the stems, with no limits on streams, sales, videos, radio or shows.
  • Exclusive has the same files and no limits, and you take the beat off sale. Licenses you sold before stay valid.

These are starting points. Change any limit to suit your deal.

Publishing and royalties

An exclusive also sets two splits. The publishing split is your share of the songwriting, and the artist gets the rest. The master royalty is your share of what the song earns. This generator starts them at 50% and 0%.

When to use it

Use it for deals you make directly, by email or DM. Sales on BeatStars and Airbit use the licenses you set up on those platforms. For how to price your licenses, see How to Sell Beats Online.
