If you’re just getting into making music, chances are you’ve already come across something called a “beat pack.” 🎧

But what exactly is it, and why should you care?

Put simply, a beat pack is a bundle of beats sold together as one product.

Instead of buying just one instrumental, you’re getting a collection - usually anywhere from 5 to 20+ beats - often with licensing rights that let you record vocals, release your songs on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal etc. and even perform them live.

Rather than buying a single beat for $50–200, you can get an entire beat pack for the same price or even less, usually with Unlimited Rights (the highest possible license).

In real terms, beat packs give you more value for your money. You’re not limited to just one production, you’ve got a full folder of inspiration.

No more endless scrolling through YouTube, skipping through hundreds of “type beats” that all sound the same.

Especially if you're still early in the process of developing your voice, flow, or songwriting skills, having the option to drop songs without any concern about rights and licenses can be incredibly helpful at the beginning. 🚀

Why Beat Packs Are Worth Buying - Especially If You're Just Starting Out

Let’s say you have maybe a hook idea, but no beats. 🎤

You can go, find a fire beat on YouTube, only to realize you can't actually release anything with it unless you pay for the license, which often costs from $50–200 depending on the license.

That’s where beat packs come in.

For the price of one or two Basic licenses (around $100), you can grab an entire folder full of instrumentals, all ready to go.

That means you can experiment without stressing over every track. Some will hit, some won’t, but that’s the point.

You get to try different styles, flows, tempos, moods.

You learn what works for you and what doesn’t. It’s like a creative training ground, except you're actually making music that can be released to the public. 🔊

And of course, there’s another important thing: budget. 💸

A single leased beat with Basic Rights can easily cost $30 to $50 or more.

For that same amount, you can grab a beat pack with ten, fifteen, even twenty tracks, often with better licensing terms. I usually offer Unlimited Rights when it comes to my beat packs.

That’s not just saving money, that’s maximizing your ability to create and release more music.

More drops means more chances to connect with listeners, grow your fanbase, and figure out what people respond to, and what you actually enjoy doing.

I know what you are thinking right now "I'll buy a beat pack and end up using 3 beats out of 20"

Yes, that can be true but it's like when you buy a game for your PC or console. Even if the game gets boring in the middle, you bought it, so you feel like finishing it, and then it turns out that it was one of the best games you've ever played. 🎮

Speaking from experience, with Cyberpunk.

Same with beat packs. You don't have to loooove all the beats in the pack, but you bought it, so it would be nice to give those you don't like a shot, and it might turn out to be one of your best songs.

The truth is, when you’re just starting out, you probably don’t have a team of producers or an engineer who’s going to custom-build tracks around your voice.

You need volume.

You need variety.

You need to build your catalog.

Beat packs help you do that faster and more efficiently.

And even beyond that, they keep you sharp. With access to more beats, you stay consistent.

You write more. You record more. You improve faster.

It's not just about having beats; it’s about building momentum. That’s something every new artist needs. 📈

How I Build My Beat Packs

Now, here’s something that matters just as much as what you buy: how the beat pack is built. 🧠

Anyone can zip a folder of MP3s together and slap a price tag on it. But if that’s all you’re getting, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to improve your sound.

When I put a pack together, I’m not just thinking, “Let me toss some leftover beats in here.” - and believe me I have a lot of them.

I’m thinking about how artists actually use beats in the studio, especially when they’re working solo from home.

That’s why I split them in 2 different ways:

• I include grouped stems.

or

• I include professionaly mixed WAV files.

What does that mean?

Professionaly mixed WAV files are just beats in one file already mixed with headroom and ready to go.

On the other hand grouped stems are separate group files with the drums, melodies, basslines, FX, each grouped and labeled.

This makes it easier for you to control the sound, balance your mix, and even rearrange the track if you want.

And because the stems are grouped (instead of fully separated into 40+ tracks), it’s not overwhelming. You still have control without getting lost in technical chaos.

I started doing this because I want to meet artists' needs. I know how it goes.

You find a beat that’s almost perfect, but maybe the hook’s too short or the drums are too loud, and there’s nothing you can do about it unless you buy full trackouts and know how to mix.

Of course you can flip a wav file cut it and rearrange but... if you tried then you know how that works.

Grouped stems change that. 🔧

You can mute a section, extend a verse, turn the bass down, or even completely flip the beat structure. You don’t need to be an engineer. You just need a DAW and some basic understanding of how things work.

And for vocalists, this makes a huge difference.

Your vocals sit better in the mix, the arrangement breathes more naturally, and you’re not stuck trying to rap over a beat that doesn’t fit the length of your second verse.

That way, you can build tracks with more intention.

So yeah, I build my beat packs in a way that makes life easier for real artists. Not just people with a full studio team. If you’re a solo artist grinding it out from your home setup I see you. 👀

Here are some examples of my beat packs, feel free to check them out:

Studio Session Beat Pack – 15 unreleased beats (wav files)
Legend Beat Pack – 17 unique beats (grouped stems)

It’s All About Workflow

Having multiple beats means you’re not stuck forcing one idea to work.

If the vibe’s, off you can switch beats and still make something you can release later.

And when those beats are organized with stems, labeled, and licensed properly, everything feels smooth.

A lot of new artists underestimate how much your workflow affects your consistency.

If it’s hard to start, you’ll hesitate. If it’s confusing to finish, you’ll quit halfway.

Beat packs give you a frictionless way to keep going, even when you’re tired, uninspired, or just figuring things out.

Wrapping it  up.

When you're starting your journey as an artist, there's always a temptation to wait until everything is “perfect.”

But the truth is, perfection is the enemy of progress, and momentum is everything.

Beat packs are one of the most underrated tools for getting that momentum. 🔁

You get a wide range of sounds, styles, and moods to work with, all in one place.

You don’t have to stress over one decision. You just create, test, learn, and grow.

You’ll start to figure out what type of beats bring out your best performances.

You’ll find flows you didn’t know you had.

You’ll gain confidence just by putting in the reps.

That’s how it starts.

Not with one perfect song, but with dozens of sessions, freestyles, rough drafts, and ideas that slowly sharpen your sound.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start recording, check out my latest beat packs.

Whether you're writing your first 16 or dropping your next tape, you'll find something to work with, and hopefully something to spark that next big idea.

At the end of the day, your biggest advantage isn’t gear, money, or connections, it’s your consistency.

And beat packs help you stay consistent.

So don’t wait for inspiration to magically show up. Set up your mic, press play, and let’s get to work.

Take care,

Baxon 👊
