Step-by-Step Guide
Fill out your brief
In What kind of beat do you need?, write a clear description of the sound, mood, tempo, and context. The description must be between 10 and 500 characters.
Add optional Beat Details
Use the Beat Details area for Genre, BPM, Mood, Key, Scale, and Budget. These fields are optional, but they usually help producers self-filter and send better matches.
Add your Reference Track
Paste a valid public URL into Reference Track. The form accepts links such as YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, and other public URLs.
Choose Request Duration
Under Request Duration, choose 24, 48, or 72 hours. The selected duration determines how many tokens are spent.
Writing an Effective Description
Your description is the most important part of your request. Here’s how to write one that attracts the right producers:Do Include
- Specific genre and subgenre — “Melodic trap” is better than just “trap”
- Mood and energy level — “High energy, aggressive” or “Laid back, smooth”
- Instrumentation preferences — “Heavy 808s,” “Live guitar,” “Synth-heavy”
- Artist references — “Similar to Drake’s recent style” or “Metro Boomin vibes”
- Purpose — “For a club track” or “For a personal project”
Avoid
- Being too vague — “I need a good beat” doesn’t help producers
- Conflicting requirements — “Fast and slow” or “Happy but sad”
- Unrealistic expectations — Be reasonable with your requests
Example Descriptions
Good Example:Looking for a melodic trap beat with emotional piano melodies and hard-hitting 808s. Think Lil Baby or Gunna style. Need something around 140 BPM in a minor key. This is for a personal project about overcoming struggles.Poor Example:
Need a fire beat ASAP, something that slaps. Make it good.
