Tone,
FL has a Scratch feature?
How does it work, and is it accurate? I've never used FL.
Also does anyone know of any other virtual turntables that are worth the investment?

From my knowledge (I could be a bit misguided myself though, I don't usually sell too many beats):

When you lease a beat you retain all rights to the beat. You can lease a beat as many times as you want, which kinda sux for the artist. Say you have "Beat 1" for sale or lease, lease is $200 and exclusive is $1500. Now say a cat doesn't have the money to buy exclusive rights and he wants to lease it, yall will make up the contract sign it and he'll give you $200 and you'll give him the beat. Now you can stipulate this beat will be leased X amount of times. So you can lease the same beat X more times for however much you want.

With exclusive, the beat is sold once and can not be resold or leased to another artist. So if the artist gives you that $1500 for exclusive rights your beat is off the market after the deal is done.

That's just my understanding of how it works, there also can be numerous stipulations like album points etc...

Don't hold me to this though noddy, I could be flat out wrong. I usually just give beats to people I know and they'll buy the beer :D

u know thats not a bad idea lol ;)
 
Ya, that works... I also tried this. Say someone wants a beat for a project. But, the person isn't sure how the song will come out. If no one else has leased the beat, I say that he can lease it and see how things come out. If the song goes big, he has the option of getting it exclusive. Now that's if no one else buys it as lease... You can kind of look at it as a down payment. But, make sure you put it in the contract. And if someone else buys the beat as a lease, the exclusive option is void...

There are so many ways to sell beats. You just want to make sure you have all deals in a contract and signed...

Yea it's called fruity scratcher(they shoulda used another name :eek:). I never really could get a good sound out of it because it's awkward to control it. I think they make some kind of hardware turntable that allows you to scratch audio from your hard drive. It'd be tight you can control the fruity scratcher with it. Man yall ain't gonna believe this, i went to goodwill and racked up on records!!! Out of all the records i got(bunch of george benson, stevie, quincy, chaka, lionel, brothers johnson, D. Ross, latimore, gospel record, smokey :D), one of them shocked me. Somebody took rappers delight, in perfect condition, to goodwill and they were selling it for $1. When i saw that, i swiped it with the quickness. Price paid for all records, $13. Looks like my record collection is about to mount up pretty quick. I said hip, hop, hibby, a hibby to the hip hip hop and you don't stop...... :D
 
where yall from cause these records range from Free - $.50 around here... for chaka, quincy, lionel, and all that... 13 dollars can get me almost 1/3 crate maybe even 1/2 crate at the right spots here... in Portland, OR.

yall ever come out to the NW ... def let me know and ill share some spots.
 
Preciate it cuz! I'm from Souf Cack, a.k.a. south carolina. They got some .50 cent records at the flea market but they aren't open during the week. I really don't have a big problem buying records for a dollar tho. Especially, the rappers delight one. Since i haven't found the free spot yet, i gotta look at it like this when i grab my wallet. I can buy some good music that keeps being played thru many generations for $1, or buy some of these new artists cd's that sound like crap for $10. :D
