Question 1

How much streaming and sales revenue do I keep?

Accepted Answer

With our Starter license ($24.99), you and your featuring artists get to keep 40% collectively of the revenue from streaming and direct sales of your New Song. Upgrade to the Track-Out license ($299.99) and keep 50% of the revenue from streaming and direct sales of your New Song.

It's very easy to set up these automatic payments, too. If you are using DISTROKID to distribute your New Song to music apps, use the "Teams" function to send the remaining split (depending on your license, 60% or 50%) to us at (info@marvbeats.com) for quick and easy automatic payments. 
 
For all other digital distribution services (Like CD Baby, United Masters, Soundcloud, Audiomack, etc.) send the remaining split to us using the email (marvbeatspro@gmail.com) for quick and easy automatic payments.

Question 2

Can I use your beats on my YouTube channel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use my beats on your YouTube channel! If you are an artist creating a new song, you can monetize the upload on your channel, but you cannot register your new song with Content ID recognition systems. This is to protect other artists and creators who have also purchased a license to use the beat. If you receive a copyright notice (not a strike), verify your license by emailing marvbeatspro@gmail.com, and the YouTube notices will be removed from your video. This also applies to Instagram and Facebook creators. Only exclusive licenses offer Content ID rights.

Question 3

Is it possible to register my new song with YouTube Content ID?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot register your new song with YouTube Content ID to prevent copyright strikes for other artists who have licensed the beat. However, you can monetize your YouTube video. Verify your license by emailing marvbeatspro@gmail.com, and your YouTube copyright notice will be removed.

Question 4

How long does it take for a beat order to be delivered?
