1. Find the beat you want
Start by exploring tracks on SoundSeam. You can browse by genre, mood, producer, or keywords. When you find something you like, open the beat page to preview it, and see details such as tempo, key, and licence options.
2. Choose your licence
Every beat is sold with one or more [licence options](/learn/what-are-beat-licences). These determine what you’re allowed to do with the beat.
Choose the licence that best fits your goals. If you’re unsure, MP3 (Basic) or WAV (Premium) is generally the safest choice for growing artists.
3. Add the beat to your cart
Click Add to Cart (or Buy if you're ready to check out) on the licence you want. You can repeat this process for multiple beats. Each licence shows as its own item in your cart.
4. Review your cart
Before checking out, review the items in your cart:
- Correct licences selected
- Total price
If everything looks right, proceed to checkout.
