WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYING A "NON-EXCLUSIVE" OR "EXCLUSIVE" BEAT FROM OCTAVATORS?
NON-EXCLUSIVE license:
When you buy a non-exclusive license to a beat from Octavators, you have the right to record your vocals to the beat or sync it to a video. Once your song is recorded, you can then begin to distribute it to the masses. Octavators Productions will allow profitable or nonprofitable copies of your song to be distributed. These can be distributed via CD, DVD, digital download (iTunes, Amazon, etc.), or by any other physical or electronic transfer of the song.
When you buy a non-exclusive beat, you will need to give Octavators credit for producing the beat. You can choose to do this with a verbal “shout-out” on the song in which you say something like “Produced by Octavators!”, otherwise you must give Octavators a written production credit in the CD booklet, song info, description box on Youtube, or as part of a status update on Facebook or a tweet. Credit where credit is due.
With non-exclusive beats, Octavators Productions retains full rights to them, and may continue to sell them to other artists or producers.
EXCLUSIVE license:
Exclusive rights grant the buyer full ownership of the beat they have purchased.
Octavators Productions exclusive rights pricing is more expensive than non-exclusive pricing. This is because we will lose the rights of ownership to the beat, and are surrendering our rights to distribute the beat in any other way, by transferring ownership rights to the buyer, who could even re-sell the beat if they should choose to. Here are a few key points pertaining to buying exclusive rights to a beat from Octavators:

Here are a few key points pertaining to buying exclusive rights to a beat from Octavators:
- After your purchase, Octavators will immediately remove the beat from the internet. No other artist may buy beats which were sold exclusively. We guarantee the beats that are available with exclusive licenses have never been used or published beforehand.
- Octavators will then send you a contract which will legally grant you ownership rights to the instrumental.
- Next, Octavators Productions will send you the tracked-out, separated 32-bit 96khz WAV files to every sound in the instrumental. This is so the beat can be mixed perfectly with your vocals.
