FAQ

A:BBX = Big Beats Xclusives. Free marketplace to sell beats + paid certification layer where beats get stamped by BBX Team and verified Industry Insiders (DJs / A&Rs / Producers). Vault Drops = exclusive bundles.

A:Certified = passed pro review. BBX Team listened, gave written feedback, and stamped it. Artwork gets BBX CERTIFIED badge (Stamp/Shield/Plaque) + boosted in feed + Vault consideration. Not pay-to-play — $25 buys review, not badge.

A:Free. Click Sell a Beat Free — upload WAV/MP3 + artwork + tags + licenses + price. No listing fee. Certification is optional.

A:No. Certification guarantees you got heard by a pro, got real feedback, and if approved — badge + boost + Vault consideration. Sales depend on quality and demand. Gold Label Reward: Earn Gold Plaque and get a FREE Industry Insider Review, $85 value, on us. Beat goes straight to a verified legend for a custom co-sign. Industry Insider reviews are coming soon.

A:Up to 3 tracks, each with its own decision, written feedback, and a badge if approved. You don't have to use all three. If a track isn't approved, you can improve it and resubmit it using an open slot from the same purchase. Approved tracks can't be resubmitted. Slots expire 90 days after purchase. Turnaround is within 7 days. $25 is the founding producer launch price for the first 200, then $49. A review doesn't guarantee approval, sales, or placement.

A:Each track in the $25 BBX Team review is considered for all 3 — Big Beats Certified (Stamp), BBX Xclusive (Shield), Gold Label (Plaque). The reviewer decides based on quality. Our intended mix of approved tracks is about 70% Stamp, 25% Shield, 5% Plaque. The $85 Industry Insider review gives you BBX badge + custom Insider co-sign if approved.

A:Verified DJs, A&Rs, platinum producers with seats on BBX. An Industry Insider review is an $85 value, and the reviewer is paid the same whether they stamp or pass. If they stamp, artwork gets their custom stamp + feature in Insider Picks.

A:No stream limits on any license.
Basic — MP3, unlimited non-exclusive use, 1 music video, no Content ID.
Premium — WAV + STEMS, unlimited streams, 3 videos, can register Content ID.
Exclusive — full ownership, beat removed from the store, WAV + STEMS, unlimited.
If commercial earnings on a Basic license exceed $5,000, you must upgrade to Premium.
Producers set their own prices. Suggested starting prices are Basic $30, Premium $100, and Exclusive $500, and a producer can price a beat lower or higher.
On every license, you and the producer each own 50% of the publishing of any song made with the beat, and the producer keeps their 50% under every license. Read the full license on each beat page before you buy.
BBX doesn't own your beat — you do.

A:$25 covers a review of up to 3 tracks, plus Stripe fees, hosting, marketing and editorial. BBX Team keeps 100% to reinvest. Gold Label winners get a free Industry Insider review — $85 value included free, on BBX.

A:Pro includes 3 certification reviews per month with 24-hour turnaround on business days, plus 90% payouts, 24-hour listing approval, and 10 free Vault MP3 downloads monthly. Review slots reset on the 1st of each month and don't roll over, and included slots end when the subscription ends. Tracks submitted before a subscription lapses are still reviewed. Pro reviews use the same standards as every other review, so a subscription doesn't make approval easier.

A:One slot equals one track submission. A $25 review includes 3 slots. Resubmitting a revised track uses another slot. Approved tracks can't be resubmitted. Each track gets its own decision and written feedback. Listing approval takes 7 days on Free and 24 hours on Pro. Certification review takes 7 days on the $25 review and 24 hours on Pro (business days).
