For Producers

Beat Requests help producers discover artists who are already looking for a specific sound. When you find a request that fits your catalog, you can send one or more eligible tracks directly from BeatPass.

​

Who Can Submit to Requests

To submit beats to requests, you need:

• A producer profile on BeatPass
• The ability to upload tracks to BeatPass
• At least one BeatPass-hosted track that you own or collaborate on

Both verified and non-verified producers can submit when they meet those requirements.

Finding Beat Requests

​

Browsing Active Requests

Navigate to the Beat Requests section to see all currently active requests. Each request shows:

• Requester name and avatar — Who’s looking for a beat
• Description — What they’re looking for
• Specifications — Genre, BPM, key, mood (if provided)
• Reference track — A link to their sound reference
• Time remaining — How long until the request expires
• Submission count — How many producers have already submitted

​

Filtering and Sorting

The beat requests feed includes tools to help you find relevant opportunities:

• Genre filter — Narrow results to your specialty
• Sort options — Newest First, Expiring Soon, Most Submissions, or Has Budget
• All Requests vs. My Requests — Switch between the public feed and your own posted requests

Expired requests are hidden from All Requests, so the public feed stays focused on active opportunities.

Submitting a Beat

​

Step-by-Step

1. Find a matching request — Browse and find one that fits your style
2. Listen to the reference track — Make sure you understand what they want
3. Click “Send Beat” — Opens the submission dialog showing eligible tracks from your catalog
4. Select one or more tracks — Choose tracks that match the request
   • You must own the track or be listed as a collaborator on it
   • Already-submitted tracks are visually marked so you won’t pick duplicates
5. Click “Confirm Submission” — BeatPass sends the selected tracks to the requester

​

What Gets Submitted

When you submit:

• The requester receives your existing track from your BeatPass catalog
• You can submit up to 5 different tracks per request
• Each unique track can only be submitted once per request
• Tracks must be platform-hosted (uploaded to BeatPass, not external links)
• The request stays open for other producers until it expires

After You Submit

​

What Happens

1. Requester is notified — They receive a notification about your submission
2. Submission count increases — Their request card reflects that another beat was sent
3. Request stays open — Others can still submit (requests don’t close early)
4. Requester may reach out — If they like your beat, they might message you

​

Success Messages

After a successful submission:

“Beat sent successfully! You can submit more tracks to this request if you’d like.”

​

Error Messages

If something goes wrong:

• “You have already submitted this track to this request” — You can’t submit the same track twice; pick a different track
• “Submission limit reached (5 tracks max)” — You’ve reached the 5-track limit for this request
• “Beat request has expired” — The 24 / 48 / 72-hour window has closed
• “You can only send tracks that you own or collaborate on” — Track ownership issue
• “You do not have permission to send beats” — Your account is missing upload permissions
• “This track is not hosted on BeatPass” or a similar validation error — The track is not eligible for request submission

​

Best Practices

​

Choosing What to Submit

• Match the request — Don’t submit trap when they want R&B
• Check the reference — Your beat should sound similar to their example
• Consider the mood — An aggressive beat won’t work for a chill request
• Quality matters — Submit your best work, not just any track

​

Building Connections

Beat requests are about more than just submissions:

• Read requests carefully — Show you understand what they need
• Follow up — If they engage with your submission, be responsive
• Build relationships — A good match can lead to ongoing collaborations

​

Timing

• Requests expire after 24, 48, or 72 hours — Check the time remaining and don’t wait too long
• Early submissions get more attention — Requesters often check as submissions arrive
• Check regularly — New requests are posted throughout the day
