After the upgrade to the new server, we were unable to receive mails from the site. We have fixed this issue and we are receiving all the emails now.

We are sorry for not answering emails earlier, we will help each customer, one at a time.

To get ready for the most advance Givemebeats.com (GMB XP), it became mandatory for us to upgrade to a faster server, that can handle a lot of request and to provide the customers with a greater XPerience when it comes to buying beats online.

Unfortunately, while moving to the new server we had a hard drive failure which caused the deletion of all the beats, and all the pictures posted by the members. Our database server was affected by this failure, but we had a copy of it, and made it easy for us to recover all these important data.

We were unable to recover the photos posted by our valuable members, but we had a backup of all the beats posted.

For four days, (27-30 Jan 2007), we had to put the server offline and stopped all income access, then we recovered all the data we could. After most of the data were recovered we put the site back online on Jan 30th 2007, and started to work as quick as possible to release GMB XP which was supposed to be online on the 1st of Feb 2007.

Even though the site is online now, there are  some beats that are not available for either preview or download. If a customer is unable to download a beat, he/she can contact us by phone and email. We will do our best to help every customer, and one at a time.

We are really sorry for this inconvenience, and we'll do our best to prevent this kind of error in the future.

We really appreciate everyone's support, and everyday we'll provide a better service to satisfy our valuable customers.

Since 2007 started, we have put several stuff in test to see how they are going to work and how adjust to satisfy our customers (producers, and buyers).  So far everything is doing well.
 

Project 180

On Jan 1^st we launched the new support page where people can contact us by email, phone (new), access our blog for updates made on the site.

 
We also launched the Knowledge Base, also know as Givemebeats.com for Dummies. It’s a compilations of frequently asked questions, how-to, video, tutorial, etc. If you need any help you will find the answer that you want.
 

2007 is the year for a new GMB, therefore we are re-adjusting, updating and fixing some policies, terms and conditions, programs, on the site.

 
No More Beat Box Store Advance.

One of the most noticeable is the discontinuation of the Beat Box Store ADVANCE. We’ll no longer have this plan for the Beat Box Store, but if you had it, you will still be getting the same benefits, nothing will change. Only Basic and Pro are available now.

 

New payment schedule

Starting February, payments will be sent every two weeks (two saturday) via paypal, instead of every week. That’s if the producer is accepting paypal as method of payment.

For those receiving by Money Order, the payment will be sent on the 15^th of the month.

If there is any change in the pay schedule, we will inform you.

 

A better beats admin page

A cleaner display, and an easier navigation. Also, you will be able to see when your next payment will be sent, amount that you have on hold, and amount that you will receive.

 

Beats for commercial use

After getting feedbacks from the customers, we concluded that they want to buy beats to use for commercial purpose. So to accommodate their need, and to make it easier in both ends (producer, beat buyer), now all the beats sold on Givemebeats.com can be used for commercial purpose, and the beat may be remixed, as long as the beat buyer give credit to the producer. This change is effective immediately, and affects previous and future beats sold on Givemebeats.com.

 

GMB XP

In about three weeks, you will experience the GMB XP. We will not tell you about all the features, we just want to surprise you when see it. This is what you will see, but remember, the experience will be different.

- New look

- Cleaner layout

- Better Navigation

- Wow feeling

- Enhancement customer’s experience.

 

 

GMB for 2007

- Project 180 is fully operational, a better customer service. Several ways to get in touch with us.

- GMB Street Team, and heavy promotion

Givemebeats.com was the #1 site to connect producers and artists to buy and sell beats online. Givemebeats.com is the #1 site to sell and buy beats online. Givemebeats.com will be the #1 site to sell and buy beats online. The Beat is in You!

 

Keep making good beats, more stuff to be announced.

 

Thank you.

Since Jan 2nd, we put some add-ons that let producers see their unpaid earnings that they will receive in the next payment cycle, their payments on hold, and the date of their next payment.

This add-ons add a complete transparency on the member's account, so he/she can track the earnings, and will find about the payments on hold, and when he/she will receive the next payment.

If you are a little bit confused about a payment or a date, just pass you mouse over [?] and you will find explanation for each section in your Beat Box control panel.

On Jan 1st, GMB released the new support section where people  can get contact information such as address, and phone #, and people can send us message directly from the site.

On the phone system, customers can leave us a message and we'll return the call as soon as we can.

And for those who always wanted an address, you can also find it on that page.

In the support area, there is a new Knowledge Base, FAQ, and the new GMB's Blog where we'll post update made on the site.

The new support area on GMB is part of Project 180, which is in beta mode, this system will increase customer support, and satisfy more customers.
