Beat Requests let you post a brief for the sound you need and receive beat submissions from producers on BeatPass. You choose how long the request stays live, and BeatPass uses to control how many requests you can create each month.
Beat Requests are built around producers sending tracks that already exist in their BeatPass catalog. They are useful for discovering strong matches quickly, but they do not guarantee a custom-made commission.

How It Works

1

Create your request

Open Beat Requests and click Submit Request. Add a description, a required Reference Track, and any optional details that help producers understand your sound.
2

Choose how long it stays live

Pick a request window of 24, 48, or 72 hours. Those durations cost 1, 2, or 3 tokens.
3

Producers discover it

Verified producers are notified automatically when a new request is posted. Other eligible producers can still browse the public request feed and submit if they find a good match.
4

Receive beat submissions

Producers send BeatPass-hosted tracks from their catalog. Each submission increases the request’s submission count and can trigger a notification based on your notification settings.
5

Manage the request

You can track active and expired requests from My Requests on the Beat Requests page or from LibraryBeat requests on the dedicated My Beat Requests page.

Who Can Use Beat Requests?

Creating Requests

Any signed-in BeatPass user can create requests as long as they still have tokens available for the month.

Sending Beats as a Producer

To submit beats to requests, you need:
  • A BeatPass producer profile
  • The ability to upload tracks to BeatPass
  • At least one BeatPass-hosted track that you own or collaborate on
Verified producers are the ones BeatPass notifies automatically about new requests. Non-verified producers can still browse the public feed and submit when they have eligible tracks.

What You Can Review Today

BeatPass currently gives you three main ways to track responses:
  • Submission notifications
  • Submission counts on each request card
  • Producer messages and submitted track pages
BeatPass does not currently include a dedicated request-details submissions inbox. If you want the fastest path back to a submitted beat, open it from the notification when it arrives.

Request Lifecycle

  1. Created — Your request is posted and visible to producers
  2. Active — Producers can submit beats for the duration you selected
  3. Expired — New submissions stop automatically
  4. Renewable — Eligible expired requests can be renewed for 1 token within 30 days of expiring
Requests stay open for the full time you selected. They do not close early just because you already received submissions.

Best Practices

For Requesters

  • Be specific — The more detail you provide, the better matches you’ll receive
  • Include a reference track — This helps producers understand your vision
  • Keep notifications on — Notifications are currently the main entry point into submitted beats
  • Avoid deleting too early — Deleting removes the request from the public feed and from the current request-management flow

For Producers

  • Read carefully — Make sure your beat actually matches what’s requested
  • Submit your best work — Quality submissions lead to connections
  • Be timely — Requests expire after 24, 48, or 72 hours depending on the tier selected
