Our mission will always be to build the best tools and features for artists on our platform, and we're consistently looking for ways to ensure our team can do this efficiently and comprehensively. As a result of this focus, the Beat Exchange will be discontinued on July 15, 2026.
FOR BEAT SELLERS
What does this mean for my Producer account?
Producer accounts will be also be discontinued, and inaccessible starting July 15.
What if I'm paying for a SELECT Producer subscription?
Automatic renewals for SELECT Producer subscriptions will be turned off as of June 15. All SELECT Producer subscriptions will be active for one month following, until the discontinuation of Beat Exchange on July 15. So, you'll still be able to use your subscription fully until that day.
Will I still be able to receive payments on beats?
Yes! Before July 15 arrives, all available beats will remain live for purchase - you can still sell beats until that date.
What happens to the beats I currently have uploaded?
After the Beat Exchange is discontinued, uploaded beats will be deleted from the UnitedMasters system. As such, we recommend downloading any beats you'd like to hold onto before the discontinuation date.
Will my UM account change in any way?
You'll still be able to log into the artist portion of your UM account. That said, when attempting to switch accounts, you'll no longer see your Producer account.
FOR BEAT PURCHASERS
Can I still buy beats?
Yes - until the Beat Exchange is retired on July 15, you'll be able to purchase beats.
What happens to the beats I've purchased and how can I access them?
Beats should be downloadable in your account - just log in, access the Beat Exchange, and navigate to the 'Purchased' section. You should also have gotten a receipt in your email upon purchase of the beat where you can access the beat for download. All downloads must be completed before July 15, when the service will be discontinued.
Can I receive a refund for any purchased beats?
UnitedMasters is unable to offer refunds on beat purchases.
I bought a beat, but I'm not able to download it. What should I do?
Please reach out to our support team and provide us with the name of the beat and the name of the producer - we're happy to ensure you receive your purchased beats.
What happens to the licenses of beats I've already purchased - are they still valid?
A license is an agreement between you and the producer, so the terms will still apply after Beat Exchange is discontinued. If you'd like to hold onto any licenses, please download them before July 15.
