BeatStars x Voloco FAQ

What is Voloco?

Voloco is an app with 70 million+ downloads that helps you make high-quality recordings on your phone. Millions of professional & aspiring musicians and content creators have been using Voloco for over 5 years to help them create anywhere & everywhere without expensive studio time, equipment, and software.

I'm a BeatStars Producer. Why are my beats on Voloco?

BeatStars and Voloco have been partners since 2023 to help BeatStars creators bring their beats to the perfect audience: millions of vocalists, rappers, and creators worldwide. Paid BeatStars subscribers (Professional, Growth, and Starter) now have their own profile on Voloco, expanding their reach to a broader audience—without changing their existing beat upload or sales process. Only free beats are synced to Voloco at this time. You do not need to subscribe to Voloco to sync your beats.

Which beats of mine are on Voloco?

At this time, only paid BeatStars subscribers’ free beats are synced to Voloco. The beats must also be public and published on the BeatStars Marketplace to appear in the Voloco app (i.e., unlisted or private free beats will not be presented in Voloco).

Does this change anything about payments?

No. All payments for beat use are still exactly the same and are handled entirely through BeatStars. Your existing workflow in BeatStars is not changing. Voloco is not directly involved in beat leasing transactions in any way.

How does this get me more sales?

Voloco brings your beats directly to millions of vocalists, rappers, and creators as they’re about to record in Voloco. All beats on your Voloco profile will have a button to redirect the user to purchase the beat from their BeatStars storefront. Only beats with a free download option are synced at this time. You'll also gain access to a list of users who have imported and recorded with your beats in Voloco. This list includes their username and, for those who opt-in, their email—allowing you to reach out directly for marketing and retargeting efforts. View this article to learn where to find this list in your BeatStars profile.

What about privacy?

The only information BeatStars is sharing with Voloco for this placement is your publicly available BeatStars profile information (username, location if shared in profile, links to socials). Voloco fully complies with GDPR and CCPA standards regarding privacy and user information.
