Buying tracked out beats, the benefits

Many producers now offer tracked out versions of their beats, often along side exclusive rights and at a higher price, but you get what you pay for and tracked out is the best option for a professional sound.

But what are the benefits of buying a tracked out beat and what would they be used for ?

If you didn't know a tracked out beat is each separate instrument and sample used in the beat as a separate track. Normally as high quality wav files.

This is useful if you want to get an engineer or other producer to mix the beat you just purchased, for a more professional sound. It also gives you more control over how the beat sounds because you could take a certain instrument or sample out that you think sounds bad. 

A benefit of buying tracked out beats is that if you don't like how the beat is mixed by the original producer someone else can mix it and possibly improve the overall sound of the beat. Proffessional mixing is important for a radio friendly sound, it is amazing how much a good mix can change a beat or song.

The price of buying a beat  tracked out is often a lot higher. However this higher price is often worth it. There are a number of things an engineer can do with the stems such as eq indivdual sounds, mix the beat and add effects to individual sounds. They can also mix the beat along with your vocals and make sure that your vocals fit in well with the frequencies of the beat. Without the mixer tracks your vocals may clash with the beat depending on your vocal range.

Even if you mix your songs yourself there is often something in a beat that clashes with your vocals or doesn't fit in with your vision for the song. Tracked out beats give you full creative control.
