Where your terms & conditions/EULA?

I bought the wrong crate by mistake, can I exchange it?

If you haven't downloaded your crate yet, don't. Please contact us with your order number and we'll work with you to get you what you need.

What's included in my crate?

There are two tiers for every crate, at two different price points:

• Tier 1 ("Basic Crate") includes 11 original, well-developed, non-repeating compositions of music for you to sample.

• Tier 2 ("Super Crate") includes the above, plus fully-split audio stem files for each composition, plus an entire extra folder of sketches, sound effects, and similar material.

What if I sell a beat using one of your samples, how does sample clearance work?

Deadbeat Music Library guarantees Master and Publishing clearance for any and all samples of our music that are obtained legally, used appropriately according to the end-user license agreement, and that constitute a unique derivative of the DML content used. If your song will be distributed commercially or promotionally at a certain level (please see your EULA for details), you must contact DML immediately for proper sample clearance. DML promises in return to negotiate in good faith according to the size and manner of use of our samples with the involved parties in order to get your music out there. That's the end goal for us, helping you make dope shit that people can listen to, and you can make money off of.

For all sample clearance inquiries, please reach out to us using our contact form.

Do you use any premade loops or samples or anything?

Absolutely not. Everything you hear is composed, played, recorded, organized, and polished by Deadbeat Music Library. You won't hear anyone else's pre-recorded material or sounds in our packs, ever.

Fine, well what kind of gear do you use?

Each crate has a very non-exhaustive list of the instruments used to create it, listed on the crate's respective page. But if you're curious about a specific sound, instrument, or recording process, holler at our contact form! We love to talk music.

How come the stem files sound a little different than the "01 Full Mix" track that you gave me?

Well, because of master bus processing. We try to keep master bus processing minimal, but there are times where it's needed. In those cases, we tend to bounce our stems without the final processing stage added. If you run a whole mix through a compressor, or a limiter, or anything really, that piece of equipment (or plugin) will act much differently that it would on a single, isolated stem. So, they may sound a tiny bit different isolated than in the full mix file, but in our opinion, it's the best way to do it.

MY TRACK SAYS F#m BUT IT'S ACTUALLY IN Bm WHAT THE FUCK

Well, western music theory is hard and stupid, and most people in the world never had any western music theory training, so we pretty much write what's in our brains and try to figure out the correct key after the fact. Take a deep breath, take a walk, and start poking your keyboard until you find the right ones, you'll live.

Can I submit a crate to Deadbeat Music Library?

We're not currently looking for additional composers, but you can always holler at us if you think that you'd be a good fit. We don't promise to write back, but we will if we can't live without you.
