ONE BEAT, ONE SONG, YOUR NAME ON IT

A beat license is an agreement between Cap Cort and you. It lets you record your song on one of our beats and release it as your single, your album, your video or the project you have in mind, and it says exactly what you can do with it. You pay once and the rights are yours for the term of the license.

MAKE IT, RELEASE IT

A license lets you write, record and produce your song on a Cap Cort beat, then release it to the world: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and everywhere else.

A FAIR SPLIT

Cap Cort brings the beat. You bring the lyrics, the melody and the performance, and those are always yours. The song is credited 50/50. Easy.

PAY ONCE, GET THE AGREEMENT

One payment, no subscription. Your license agreement arrives as a PDF with its own ID, and anyone can verify it on our site at any time.

TOTAL CONTROL, IF YOU WANT IT

With Professional and up you also get the stems and multitrack: every sound that makes the beat, drums, bass, guitars, synths, each on its own track. Full control of your mix.

RELEASE IT

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok and every platform, worldwide.

TikToks, Reels, Shorts, live streams. Social content never counts against your license.

SHAPE IT

Key, tempo and length on any license. Deeper edits take the stems and multitrack of Professional and up.

PLAY IT LIVE

Take your song to the stage. Free shows on every license; paid shows from Professional up.

YOUR VERSIONS

Slowed, sped-up, acoustic, radio edit: an Unlimited perk. Standard and Professional release the song in one version.

SELL IT

Sell your song as downloads and physical copies, in online stores or at your shows.

ADD FEATURES

Featured artists go on the agreement with you.

GET CREDIT RIGHT

"Produced by Cap Cort" wherever credits go. That is the whole requirement.

THIRTY SECONDS

LET US POINT YOU TO THE RIGHT ONE

Three questions. No wrong answers, and you can always upgrade later.

Question 1 of 3

Where are you with your music?

IN PRACTICE

WHERE ARE YOU WITH YOUR MUSIC?

Same beat, same price on every beat. The difference is how far you are taking the song.

Best prices are here, on our own store.

Payment methods

Your music. Every platform. Worldwide.

AFTER CHECKOUT

EVERYTHING, IN ONE EMAIL

WHAT ARRIVES

Your files.

Tag-free WAV and MP3 on Standard. Multitrack and stems on top with Professional, Unlimited and Exclusive.

Your license agreement.

A PDF with its own license ID, the beat, your name and everything you are allowed to do with the song. Keep it with the song; distributors sometimes ask for it.

Your order page.

One link with your downloads and agreements, valid for two years.

Public verification.

Anyone can confirm a Cap Cort license by its ID on our verify page. No personal data is shown.

BEFORE YOU RELEASE

Credit.

Add “Produced by Cap Cort” in your credits, liner notes and video descriptions.

Content ID.

You can release the song anywhere, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, all of it. The one thing to leave off is Content ID or any fingerprinting option at your distributor. The beat is licensed to other artists too, and turning it on would flag all of them.

Keep your agreement.

If a platform ever asks, the PDF and the verify link answer in a minute.

UPGRADE

UPGRADE YOUR LICENSE IN A MINUTE

Started small and the song took off? Good problem. Step up to the next license yourself: the license you already hold earns you a discount on the next one.

Anytime, as many times as the song needs. No emails, no waiting: you do it yourself.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS

ONE ARTIST. ONE BEAT.

Most releases are served perfectly by a Standard, Professional or Unlimited license. An exclusive is a different way of working, for the artist or label who wants the beat for them only.

OFF THE MARKET

THE BEAT LEAVES THE STORE THE MOMENT YOU BUY IT

No new license is ever issued for it, and it comes off every store we sell on.

EVERYTHING INCLUDED

YOU GET IT ALL

Multitrack, stems, WAV and MP3, unlimited use, and a license that never expires.

WHILE IT IS NEW

EXCLUSIVES, ONLY WHILE THE BEAT IS NEW

A beat can be bought exclusively only in its first weeks in the store, or it is exclusive-only from day one. We never sell an exclusive on a beat that many artists already use.

Some beats carry a listed exclusive price; others say “Make an offer”. Either way, write to us and we take it from there.

SAME STUDIO

THE BEAT, THE MIX AND THE MASTER, IN ONE PLACE

The producer who made the beat is also the engineer who mixes your vocals into it and masters the finished song. Same ears from the first note to the master.

VOCAL MIX + MASTER

$100

Send your vocals. We edit, mix them into the beat and master the song for streaming. First mix in about 72 hours, two revision rounds.

WHAT YOU GET

6 FILES

Your song mastered in WAV and MP3, the instrumental, the acapella, and a version for singing live. Everything by email, ready for every platform.

Add it from the beat page together with your license, or later from your order page. Licensed on BeatStars? Write to us and we’ll send you a payment link.
