YourHit Song is Waiting at The Instrumental Headquarters

Before completing a beat purchase, The Instrumental Headquarters aims to ensure that you are able to make a well-informed decision.


Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our beat licensing and instrumental pricing options.


$1.54 Demo Lease


These beat licenses are typically awarded to emerging artists. If your primary focus is on recording high-quality songs and you have the support of a highly skilled audio/recording engineer, this may be an excellent choice for you as a budding artist.


The Upside:

  • License is Upgradable

  • Instantly Downloadable Instrumental

  • $1.54 Beat Licenses are most affordable

  • Easy to get your song started & finished quickly


The Downside:

  • No Free Song Promo

  • No YouTube Uploads

  • No Major Streaming Uploads

  • You only get 1 single beat file

  • No Profits (Demonstration Use Only)

The demo lease instrumental license is for demonstration purposes only. As your career progresses and you gain momentum, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your initial license agreement. After upgrading, you'll gain additional perks.


$49.95 Limited Lease

While these types of beat licenses are typically awarded to emerging artists, this particular license represents a significant advancement from the Demo License option, as the artist now receives 50% of the song's profits. Additionally, there is an opportunity to upgrade the original license.


The Up Side:

  • Free Song Promo

  • License is Upgradable

  • YouTube Song Upload Allowed

  • Instantly Downloadable Instrumental

  • $44.95 Beat Licenses Moderately Priced

  • Allow A 50/50 Split of Profits To The Artists

  • Easy to get your song started & finished quickly


The Downside: 

  • No Major Streaming Platform Uploads

  • Although the artist is able to make profits from the song, the profit margin is not as high as it could be. Purchasing a higher license option may prove to be more beneficial for the artists even though budget restraints may prevent this early on.


The limited lease instrumental license permits the uploading of the song to YouTube. As your career progresses even further and you gain even more buzz, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your license agreement. After upgrading, you'll gain additional perks.


$99.95 Ultimate Lease

The Ultimate Lease beat licensing option is commonly chosen by well-established artists. It represents a significant advancement from the Limited Lease option, as it entitles the artist to 60% of the song's profits.


The Upside:

  • Free Song Promo

  • YouTube Song Upload Allowed

  • Instantly Downloadable Instrumental

  • Allow A 60/40 Split of Profits To The Artists

  • Major Streaming Platform Song Upload Allowed

  • Easy to get your song started & finished quickly

The Downside: 

  • These licenses are a tiny bit more expensive. If that doesn't bother you, then these are the best licenses to go with.

The Ultimate Lease instrumental license allows artists to upload their work to YouTube and major streaming services. This option offers the best value for independent musicians.
