Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Some of the questions customers most commonly ask me are: - How long does it take you to make a beat? My answer: It depends on the complexity and requirements of the project. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days or even weeks. I usually give an estimate before I start working on the project. - Can I get a discount or a free trial? My answer: Sorry, but no. I charge fair and reasonable prices for my work based on the market rates and the quality I provide. I also don't offer free trials because I have enough samples and demos on my profile that showcase my skills and style. - Can I get exclusive rights to the beat? My answer: Yes, but it will cost more than a non-exclusive license. Exclusive rights mean that you will be the only owner of the beat and no one else can use it. Non-exclusive rights mean that you can use the beat for your project but I can still sell it to other customers. - Can I make changes or revisions to the beat after you send it to me? My answer: Yes, but only within a reasonable limit. I usually allow up to 3 revisions per track for free. Any additional revisions will incur extra charges. - Can I credit you as a producer on my project? My answer: Yes, of course. I appreciate it when my clients give me credit for my work. You can credit me as "Produced by Hoven" or "Beat by Hoven" or something similar.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: The biggest misconception about what I do is that it's easy and anyone can do it. Some people think that making beats is just pressing some buttons and copying some loops. They don't realize how much time, effort, skill, creativity, and knowledge it takes to make a good beat. They also don't appreciate the value and quality of my work and try to lowball me or ask for freebies.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: - What is the purpose and goal of your project? - Who is your target audience or market? - What are some examples of songs or artists that inspire you or that you want to sound like? - How many tracks do you need and how long should they be? - Do you need any vocals or samples on the tracks? - Do you need me to mix and master the tracks or do you have someone else to do it? - What is your budget and how do you want to pay me? - What is your deadline and how flexible are you with it?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Provide as much information and details as possible, such as the genre, the mood, the tempo, the length, the format, the budget, the deadline, etc. - Communicate with me regularly and give me honest and constructive feedback. Tell me what you like and what you don't like about my work. Don't be afraid to ask for changes or revisions if you are not satisfied with the result. I'm always open to suggestions and improvements. - Trust me and respect me as a professional. I will do my best to meet your expectations and deliver a high-quality product that you will love.
