What are instrumental beats?

Simply put, an instrumental beat (a.k.a beat, backing track) is a musical composition designed for an artist or songwriter to write a song over. Usually, beats are structured like a full-length song with verses, choruses etc. Unlike most “backing tracks” on the internet, beats are usually original compositions created by the producer - not covers of existing popular songs.

Instrumental Beats are usually written in urban genres such as R&B and Hip-Hop. They’re popular with unsigned and developing artists as they’re ideal for creating demos and show reels. Many artists also use beats as a basis for complete albums released on CD and iTunes.

In the last 5 or so years, instrumental beats have become increasingly popular with artists - with a growing number of producers and websites ready to supply them. Using beats can be a very cost effective way of recording a demo or album, the alternative being to pay a producer and studio (or enter into a costly label agreement.) Beats have also become a great - and legal way for producers and composers to earn valuable income.

How do I download beats?

You’ll be taken to a checkout screen hosted by 2Checkout.com, the payment providers for smoothbeatsonly.com. You can pay using a variety of methods including most debit and credit cards, and PayPal.

Testimonial

What's up Al, I want to say thank you for helping me take my independent label to the next level. With the tracks I purchased we were able to put our Jazz CD next to the million dollar labels and the sound quality was the same. Keep doing what you do, you are truly a blessing to independent artist and labels. Look forward to doing more business with you.
George, CEO Markslife Entertainment LLC

Testimonial

Charles Dixon ..In my opinion a cut above industry standard tracks that sound as if you have your own band on staff. Al's instrumental beats are pretty much preset for a vocalist to simply listen to the designed structure and begin to create their own vocal ideas, arrangements etc.

In a world where there are producers seemingly sprinkled just about everywhere on the planet, I can only think of one spot that I'll shop at and that's Smoothbeatsonly.com. I'm always satisfied with the finished product as it's nothing but Grade A+ quality each and every time.

I'm Andrew Avaire, a 15 year old singer/song writer currently living in Asia. I used to spend days at a time just looking for good quality beats, but rarely succeded. Smoothbeatsonly has really helped me! I'm going nowhere else from now on. Thanks for the beats Al! Keep it up! Andreaz

Testimonial

My name is Soup and as an independent artist, I'm always looking for something that sounds and feels good. Not only have I found that - I was also able to find someone with a passion for music. Al gave me that sense of style that is on par with todays music. It's so easy to transform his beats into something special. I've already written three songs using his beats and it all turned out pretty well.. Soup

A word from the producer..

Thanks for visting. My name is Al Fraser, and I've produced the instrumental beats you're listening to now. I've designed this website to help you create and record your R&B demo or album.

These instrumental R&B beats have helped hundreds of artists with their careers - and many have gone on to get management and record deals. Every beat comes with full, unrestricted commercial use, and select beats also come as Studio Ready 24bit WAV files - exclusive to this site!

There are thousands of producers selling beats on the internet. Where will you get your beats from? Most "producers" operate using a free myspace page and cheap software, hoping to make a quick buck. They only offer a cheap, low quality MP3 file for you to record with. Customer service? Forget it.

I know you take your career seriously. I take my production, and business seriously, and I pledge to supply you with high quality instrumental beats and the technical support you need. I answer every e-mail I receive, and offer support and guidance to my customers.
