Buying Beats
We regularly offer incredible discount opportunities and bulk deals for beats, kits and services rendered. We more than likely have a few great ones running right now.
Pop by our store from time to time to avoid missing out on these awesome deals. Better yet, subscribe to our newsletter and we'll make sure that you're always kept in the loop!
Non-exclusive licenses (also known as beat leases or leasing rights) have restrictions in number of allowed sales units, earnings, etc., and can be sold to multiple artists at the same time. Legion Beats retains full ownership of the beats when these licenses are purchased.
Exclusive rights allows unlimited use of the song you make with it on any medium without any limit on sales, streams, etc! After an exclusive rights license has been sold, that beat will no longer be available for any type of licensing in the future. If you buy exclusive rights to a beat, you become the owner of the beat.
If you came across a beat on Youtube, Soundcloud, or somewhere else that you'd like to license, you can search for it by entering the name of the beat in the beat player on our home page at bundubeats.com.
If the beat is not showing up in that player, then we most likely sold the exclusive rights.
You can always reach out to us and send us message and we'll happily check again.
Please put "Prod by (Producer's Name) & Bundu Beats"

Yes, we make custom, exclusive beats too (albeit, without vocal parts such as hooks).
Custom beats start at $300 and go up from there depending on the genre, instrumentation, and number of sections.

The easiest way to do this is by providing an example or 2 of songs/beats that are in the style that you're looking for. Once you reach out to us with that info, then we can give you an estimate and we can get to work!
Yes, you can upgrade your beat license, and we'll only charge you the difference in price, not the full cost of the upgraded license!
The only reason you wouldn't be able to upgrade is if the exclusive rights to that beat have been sold.
If you'd like to upgrade your license, please send us a message here and let us know:
1. Which beats you'd like to upgrade
2. Which licenses you'd like to upgrade from
3. Which licenses you'd like upgrade to
...and we'll send you an invoice for the difference in price. Be sure to write from, or include the email address you used to make the original purchase.

A "2-track beat" aka a "Stereo Beat" is one stereo file.
-This usually in the format of one MP3 or WAV file.
A "tracked-out" beat means the instruments of the beat (kick drum, snare, bass, synth, etc) are on separate tracks, also known as "stems."
-This will usually come in a zip folder with multiple WAV files.
Here's the breakdown of why you may be hearing one or multiple tags in your beat:
No License
If you ripped a beat off youtube, or downloaded the demo from legionbeats.com, you don't own a license for that beat. You'll hear tags throughout the entire beat, including "bundubeats", "play another bundubeat", etc.
Basic & Premium Licenses
Basic and Premium Licenses come with one tag in the intro. Having one tag in the intro is extremely common in popular music and you'll hear this in many of the songs topping the charts today. Still, we know not everyone likes this, which is why we offer Professional, Unlimited and Exclusive Licenses.
Professional, Unlimited & Exclusive Licenses
Our Professional, Unlimited and Exclusive licenses come with the option to remove all tags from the beat. In fact, since both of these licenses come with the tracked-out stems, you can customize the beat in any way that you'd like. *** If you did purchase a professional, unlimited or exclusive license, you'll find the completely untagged version in the zip folder which also contains the tracked-out stems.
If you purchased any of our licenses, you're allowed to post the song you make with that beat on YouTube!
The non-exclusive license agreement allows you to post the songs you make with the beats on YouTube as music videos, songs with pictures, etc.
PLEASE NOT: Technically, we don't allow Youtube monetization unless you buy the exclusive rights.
Youtube's content ID system makes it tricky since if you register the song, then Youtube will attempt to to collect advertising revenue from the Bundu Beats Youtube channel and anyone else who might have the non-exclusive license.
So we ask that if you distribute the song through CDBaby or a similar service that you don't use the content ID offer.
BOTTOMLINE: You can still post the song to your YouTube channel without any problems.
