By Delroy Wilkins


There is no doubt that technology has made a giant leap on its progress over the past century.

Buying different beats and instrumental beats won't require you to visit your nearest local record stores.

The choice of whether to go by the exclusive or non-exclusive tracks is very vital. There is a big difference between the two copyright concepts and the difference is manly distinguished by the agreements between the buyer and the producer.

For instance, if a track is considered non-exclusive, it means that the buyer is not the full owner of the track.

Generally, there is also a limit on how many copies of the tracks can be used, reproduced, and sold, as determined by the producer. As the buyer, it is important that you are well-are of this. The advantage of purchasing tracks like this is that they are generally cheaper than most exclusive tracks.

It is therefore necessary that the buyer looks at the terms carefully when buy the beats and instrumental beats exclusively.
