For buyers

The details

• I want to buy a track from your shop. What will I get?
  You’ll get a completely original track. There are no unauthorized vocals, samples, or loops. Ghost producers use synths, plugins, and royalty-free samples, so you can release your track and collect 100% of the royalties.
  
  We guarantee full confidentiality. We sign a contract with each of our ghost producers that states that they’re no longer the author or copyright owner, and that they will never claim authorship for tracks that they sell on EDM Ghost Production. Once you buy a track, we remove the preview from our shop and automatically add a “sold” badge.
  
  You’ll instantly receive a link for the full package, so you can remix, edit, and remaster the track to your heart’s content. The package contains:
  
  - 44.1kHz/16-bit WAV files of both mastered and unmastered versions of the track, along with 320kbps MP3 versions.
  - Labeled multitrack wet stems (44.1kHz, 16-bit WAV files with names like “Kick.wav,” "Bass.wav," "Lead.wav," etc.).
  - MIDI files from the main melodic instruments.
  - If vocals were used in the track, you'll get an instrumental version too.
  - For tracks in the following genres, we provide both extended and radio mixes:

  • Afro House
  • Bass House Mainstage
  • Bass House / Tech Bass
  • Big Room
  • Breaks
  • Deep House
  • Electro House
  • Future House
  • Future Rave
  • Hardstyle / Hardcore
  • House / Tech House
  • Melodic House & Techno
  • Minimal / Deep Tech
  • Organic House
  • Progressive House
  • Psy-trance
  • Techno
  • Trance
  • UK Garage

  
  If the producer used a royalty-free vocal sample to create the track, you’ll receive a link to the sample source in My Purchases.
  
  Make sure you buy your track using your own PayPal account or credit card, and that you provide us with the same name and email address as in your billing details, or we will neither be able to release the download link for the track package nor the certificate of authenticity.
• What’s the difference between your store and other ghost production websites?
  Above all else, it's the quality of our tracks.
  
  We have a very strict submission process: We don't allow poor-quality tracks or ideas onto our platform. Unlike other stores, our first priority isn’t the number of tracks we sell, but customer satisfaction and solid long-term partnerships. You won’t waste your time trawling through endless low-quality productions to find what you need.
  
  Our prices are reasonable, and our crew is happy
  
  Hardworking producers crafting high-quality tracks deserve to be rewarded for their talent. To ensure our ghost producers are motivated, stay creative, and retain attention to detail, we charge between $199 and $1999 per track, and we promise to pay our producers the agreed price. We’re always there for our ghost producers: We offer training to increase their technical knowledge, and we workshop with them to help evolve their sound.
  
  We’re transparent and trusted
  
  We’ve been invited by the Amsterdam Dance Event to host a keynote panel at ADE University. We’ve also hosted a panel at the IMS Conference in Ibiza and at the Dancefair production conference in the Netherlands. We’ve been featured in Mixmag, DJ Mag, and Vice.
  
  We’re approved by the Association for Electronic Music as a download site that licenses content legitimately from artists and remunerates accordingly. We’re proud of our reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.
• What is a "Premium" song?
  Premium songs are tracks handpicked by our team based on their exceptional quality and creativity. The selection is a subjective decision, as these are the tracks we love the most on our platform.
  
  These songs stand out for their professional mixing and mastering, creative sound design, and overall appeal. While there is no specific formula for what makes a song "Premium," they are often comparable to top tracks on Spotify charts and niche playlists.
  
  Choosing a Premium song means selecting a track that has captured our team’s attention and represents some of the best music available on our platform.
• What do the icons mean?
  These show that, for an additional $100, you can purchase the DAW project file. Each icon denotes a different DAW: Ableton Live, Logic X, Fruity Loops, orCubase. Make sure you own the relevant DAW before you add the project file to your cart.
  
  All tracks are made using third-party plugins, synths, and FX, in combination with DAW stock plugins. We do not supply a list of the plugins used by the producer. When you open your project file, your DAW will let you know if there are any plugins you need to acquire. You must search online for these. Some are free, some offer free trials, and others are paid.
• If there is no DAW logo, does it mean there is no way to get the project file?
  Correct. Sometimes producers don't want to share their source project file. That’s their choice. If you need the DAW project file for a track, but the track has no DAW logo, do not purchase this version. Contact us, and we'll ask which DAW the producer used to make the track. If it’s your preferred DAW, we’ll ask if the producer is willing to sell it.
• There are vocals in some of the tracks – are they all exclusive?
  Most vocals neither custom-made nor exclusive. Exclusive vocals are marked with the icon. Non-exclusive royalty-free vocals are marked with the icon.
• What can I do with non-exclusive vocals?
  All royalty-free vocals purchased by producers are from legal sample packs that have royalty-free licenses, so the tracks can be used for commercial purposes, with the artist collecting 100% of the royalties.
  
  If you’d like to edit one of these tracks or vocals to create a new master version, you’ll have to get a source vocal sample from the manufacturer to obtain a license.
  
  Most royalty-free vocals are taken from Splice or Loopcloud, so it's easy and cheap to get a license for an individual vocal track. Once you purchase a track, we'll provide information on the vocal sample pack in the My Purchases vocal info tab.
  
  Remember that anyone else can use the same vocals, since they are not exclusive to you. This is entirely permissible in the industry.
• What can I do with exclusive vocals?
  If the producer has recorded an exclusive vocal, you'll have full rights to exploit it, including to reuse, edit, rework, and remix it. You should not mention the singer or author, as all rights are waived.
• I bought a track with vocals in your shop. Is it possible to get lyrics?
  We’re sorry, but no. Sample pack publishers and authors never provide lyrics on royalty-free samples. You’ll need to transcribe the lyrics yourself or find someone who can.
• I purchased a track and published it via a distributor/Soundcloud/YouTube, and it got blocked for copyright infringement. What do I do now?
  We know how frustrating it can be: You've already scheduled your track release but it has been postponed due to a copyright notice. It’s not unusual. And it doesn't mean that you've been “cheated” by either EDM Ghost Production or the ghost producer. Let us explain:
  
  Artists tend to use non-exclusive royalty-free vocals in their tracks, again and again. The first person who releases a track with such vocals usually becomes the one and only copyright holder in the eyes of content-ID systems.
  
  These systems are not perfect, and such actions are not legal, because the license for royalty-free vocals allows their use for commercial purposes in an unlimited number of compositions.
  
  So how can you respond and take the claim down? State that the track has been misidentified and provide details about ownership or evidence of the track’s creation. There are two main options:
  
  Provide a certificate of authenticity
  This can be downloaded in My Purchases by clicking on thePDFnext to the purchased track. Upload this document to the distributor/streaming platform to support your claim. Tell them that you purchased a worldwide exclusive copyright license to the track from EDM Ghost Production Inc.
  
  If you want to avoid being linked with this certificate or letting anyone know where you purchased the track, you can use the second option:
  
  Link to the sample
  Go to vocal columnin My Purchases to copy the link(s) to the royalty-free vocal sample(s) used in the track. Submit the link(s) to the platform/distributor as part of your claim, and explain that you have used a non-exclusive 100% royalty-free vocal sample to produce the track, and that there is no copyright violation as the song is 100% original and unique..
  
  You decide which method to use to dispute a report – they are both effective.
• What if I want to request minor changes to a track in the shop before I purchase it? Can you do that?
  In most instances we decline such requests. However, depending on the individual case, we may be able to change a minor element that you don’t like, for an agreed fee.
• I’ve already made a purchase but want to make changes to the track. Can you do that for me?
  When you make a purchase, you agree to buy the track as it is in the preview.
  
  Previews are 320kbps high-quality MP3s. The producer may be willing to make revisions to the track, but we cannot guarantee this. Should the producer agree, each revision will cost $100. Contact us with your specific request.
• Are there any discounts?
  Producers on our website occasionally reduce price of their tracks. Add your favorites to your wish list, so you can keep an eye on their prices. We also offer discount coupons as part of regular promotions: Subscribe to our email newsletter for the latest offers.
  
  We never advertise our discount events in advance. They pop up without notice throughout the year. But with a PRO membership, you'll get a discount coupon via email for every sale a whole 3 days before it gets to regular customers. It's your chance to grab the choicest tracks with a discount before everyone else does. With a PRO membership, you can also benefit by getting an email each time the producer drops the price of any of your wishlist tracks.
• Can I get a refund or exchange a track?
  No. All sales are final. Refunds are impossible due to the nature of digital products.
• What rights do I receive upon purchasing a track?
  After purchase, you become the new owner of the acquired track (master recording). You own the copyright, plus author’s, neighboring, and performance rights.
• Do I receive the track artwork?
  No. You only receive the track, its rights, and its source files.
• May I resell the track?
  The purchaser is the end user of the track. Reselling on EDM Ghost Production or any other ghost producing platform is prohibited.
