License presets let you save an exclusive license configuration and reuse it on future beats. They are useful when you want consistent exclusive terms without rebuilding the same setup every time.

​
What a Preset Stores

A BeatPass exclusive preset stores the license configuration itself, including:
  • Publishing split
  • Territory
  • Governing law country
  • Usage rights
  • Files to deliver
  • Producer royalty
  • Content ID and other exclusive toggles
Presets are for the exclusive configuration. Price and other track-specific choices should still be reviewed on each beat.

​
Why Use Presets?

Consistency

Keep your exclusive terms consistent across similar beats.

Speed

Apply a known-good configuration instead of rebuilding it every time.

Variants

Maintain different setups for different catalog tiers or buyer types.

​
Current Preset Features

BeatPass currently supports:
  • Naming a preset
  • Adding an optional description
  • Marking one preset as default
  • Seeing how many tracks use a preset
  • Blocking deletion when a preset is still in use

​
Creating a Preset

You can create a preset when working with exclusive configuration:
  1. Build the exclusive terms you want to reuse
  2. Save them as a preset
  3. Give the preset a clear name
  4. Optionally set it as your default
Good preset names are descriptive, such as:
  • Standard Exclusive
  • Premium Exclusive
  • High-Royalty Exclusive

​
Setting a Default Preset

BeatPass lets you mark one preset as your default. When a default exists, it becomes the easiest starting point for new exclusive-capable tracks.

​
Editing a Preset

You can update a preset later, but there is an important rule:
Editing a preset does not retroactively change tracks that already used it. Existing sold or published beats keep the terms that were saved with them.

​
Deleting a Preset

BeatPass blocks preset deletion when tracks still use that preset. If you need to delete one:
  1. Update the affected tracks to use a different preset or config
  2. Return to the preset manager
  3. Delete the unused preset

​
Applying a Preset to a Track

When a beat is exclusive-capable:
  1. Open Licensing Options
  2. Choose the preset from the preset selector
  3. Review the applied terms
  4. Save the track
BeatPass also provides a Use Default action to load the platform’s default exclusive configuration instead of a custom preset.

​
Best Practices

  • Use clear preset names
  • Keep one default preset for your most common deal structure
  • Create separate presets only when the terms really differ
  • Review older presets occasionally so they still reflect your current business approach
