Beat catalogue
Beats and challenges: one beat, many voices
Beats from Stream-Q musicians with clear terms: what you can and cannot do. Listen, record your own take on a beat, and if the author starts a challenge, compete with other voices on the same beat. Browsing needs no account; to post a beat or take part, sign in.

How to read a beat's terms
The word "free" says nothing about whether you may earn from the track. So every beat has one of five terms:
- Trial recording only
You may record a demo; releasing the track is not allowed
- Free for personal use (non-commercial)
Free of charge, but no earning: you may not monetise the track
- Free commercial licence (on the author's conditions)
Free and you may earn from it — but only within the author's conditions
- Exclusive by agreement
Price and conditions are agreed with the author only
- Joint release
The track is released together with the beat's author, shares are agreed in advance
Catalogue rules
- Post only your own beats or ones you have the right to publish. Other people's beats, uncleared samples and leaked instrumentals are grounds for a report and removal.
- A beat has one of five terms and they do not change after publishing. Do not promise "free" without saying more: personal use and a commercial licence are different things.
- A participant's take is published immediately and is visible to everyone until the beat's author declines it or a moderator hides it. A take must contain only what you recorded yourself.
- The site does not deliver files, take money or issue licences: you agree the terms and payment yourselves, preferably in writing. Do not send an advance to strangers.
- Spam, scams, abuse and illegal content are banned. An author with two hidden beats cannot post new ones; the decision can be appealed via "Contact" in the footer.
- A challenge is created by the beat's author and, until a moderator approves it, only the author can see it. One challenge per author at a time.
