About/Frequently Asked Questions
I, Aaron B, sometimes known as AaronBeats, am a full-time music producer and music marketer. I have been creating music for over 10 years, and play multiple instruments. Instruments that I play include: Keyboard/Piano/Organ, Guitar, Bass, Tenor & Alto Saxaphone, Drums, and more.
I probably own just about any piece of music/studio equipment that you can think of. Styles of music that I play and produce include: Gospel, R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Electronic, Movie Soundtracks/Scores, Music for Film & Video Games, and whatever else you wanna throw at me….excluding crazy heavy metal.
Some of my clients include: Tech N9ne, NBC, MTV, Pacifico Records, Shadow Valley Ent., 50/50 Ent., Circle of Influence, Cornerstone Records, Brooktown, Dolla Bill, D-Anger, Royalty Records, Shadow of Death Records, Brotha’s Mic, Kim Keller-Tyler, Jam-Doo Records, Mo Chips Ent., One Take Ent., Fam-City Records, She Wins Ent, 50-50 Ent, MSM Management, System Flood, and many more that I can’t name.
I began my music career at age 10, experimenting with the piano. By the time I was 12, I had the piano down decent, and began playin’ the tenor sax for my school. They use to call me “Lips” or “Lil Grover,” short for Grover Washington Jr.
When I turned 13, I began playing the guitar…for real(I say ‘for real’ because I played around with it when i was 2&3, standing in the musicians pit at church). I also picked back up the drums, which I first started playing at church at age 6.
I played keyboard at my church, and still to this day play on occasion for different churches. So I am a real musician, not just one of these cats that pick up ‘Acid’ or ‘Fruity Loops’ or ‘Playstation Music Generator’ and make 1 beat and call myself a producer.
I provide full-service production from the beats(all done by myself), to songwriting(I have a team of lyric writers as well as myself), all the way to in-studio recording, mixing, mastering, and even managing a project to completion & manufacturing.
I have my own artists that I OWN (yep, if yawl are reading…you belong to ME hahaha!) and produce.
Let me say with all humility that I am not the greatest producer/beat-maker in the world…but I AM HOT…and if you disagree, then please give me your honest feedback so that I may get better;)
On That Note: Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions About How to Use This Site
- What is AaronBeats.com?
AaronBeats.com is a website where artists of all levels, independant & major, as well as management companies and record companies come to listen and purchase beats for their albums, mixtapes, demos, promotions, radio and t.v. projects. Beats are available on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis.
- What am I allowed to do with the Non-Exclusive Beats?
You are allowed to record your lyrics over the beats and use them for your album, demo, mixtape, promotional album, radio promotion, demo shopping, etc. You may sell your completed songs as long as your vocals are recorded over the beats, and you do not sell more than 1000 units. But for promotional uses listed above, you may give away as many as you like. In any even, you must always give credit on the cd or on the back of the cd. It should read, “Produced by AaronBeats for AaronBeats.com”
- Will the girl’s voice still be on the beat when i purchase and download it?
No. When you purchase and download a beat, the girl’s voice will not be on the track. You will get the professionally mixed and mastered, super high quality version.
- How do I purchase a beat Exclusively?
If you would like to purchase a beat exclusively, you can make an offer with the form at the bottom of the beats page.
- How do I purchase a Custom Exclusive Beat?
If you are an artist, management company, or record label in need of custom exclusive beats, you can contact me to discuss your project and the work needed.
- How long are the beats?
The beats are all between 3 mins & 30 secs up to 4 mins & 30 secs. They either include 2 or 3 verses, and some include a bridge, mainly r&b.
- How often are new beats put on the website?
New beats are uploaded throughout the day, usually every week, any day Monday through Friday, and most Saturdays. So feel free to visit everyday at any given time to see if the new beats have been uploaded yet.
- What format do the beats come in?
The non-exclusive beats come in a super high quality, 224kbps mp3. This format is above CD Quality. If you would prefer stereo wav. files, you can order by mail using the form, and a CD will be sent to you. Exclusive beats can include individual wav or aif files upon request.
- Who makes these beats?
I, AaronBeats am the composer and producer of these beats. I have done many musical compositions for many artists, record labels, and management companies. You may have also heard some of my works on the radio and t.v. and I may occasionally do “ghost” production for major producers which cannot be named.
- How long have you been in music?
I have been composing and producing music for over 10 years.
- Do you buy beats from other producers?
For this site, I do not purchase beats from other producers, especially since the name of the site is “Aaron” Beats.com and I don’t want to take credit for someone else’s work. When I become Dre or Timbaland, then I’ll think about it;)
- What equipment do you use?
I have pretty much all of the standards in my music production studio. I have a huge library of sounds, and I also play live instruments. I also create a lot of my sounds. Pretty much all of the major pieces that you see in the music store, I probably own or have owned. I have invested about $70,000 into my studio.
- Can I get free beats?
You can get 11 free beats by signing up for the email newsletter, but those are the beats you get for free. Did you just read the sentence above that said I spent over $70,000 on my studio. Now how would this site be able to survive if I gave away every single beat for free? You want me to stick around and make more beats for ya don’t ya? HAHAHA!
All sales are final. If you are dissatisfied for some reason (which I know you won’t be), have any trouble, please contact me at info@aaronbeats.com to discuss how we can make things better. If you would like for modifications to be made to a beat, then contact me to discuss options and pricing.
