    Who are we?
    We are Theory X Productions, an ever-expanding musical machine, always on the look-out for dope producers with the skills necessary to hang with those of our expertise.  Theory X Productions is a real production company, specializing in the creation, marketing, and sale of rap, hip-hop, and r'n'b instrumentals/beats, one which has never had a single complaint from any paying client(s).

    Theory X Productions began under the helm of producer Jayson Carter, under the original name Apollo Productions.  Due to copyright issues, the production company name was changed to Cryopath Productions.  In summer 2002, however, the acquisition of six new producers to the line-up provoked a second change of name.  The addition of Lucas Abundiz, Zachory Palamar, Joel Chalfont, Bryan Black, and A.J. Orth to the Cryopath name was all it took to get another ball rolling, and to accommodate the expansion, Cryopath Records was born.  Theory X Productions rose as a relative of the new Cryopath Records.  Cryopath now manages the seven producers, and is in the process of negotiating to acquire talent exclusive to its label.

    Theory X Productions prides itself on many of its features, amongst them: innovation, quality, customer service, value, and a "one-on-one" personal touch that makes sure our customers come back again and again.

    Theory X has a registered business account with www.paypal.com, and has worked with several emcees over the years, helping make dreams come true all over the world.  We have done everything from one-shot demo projects to entire LPs, and are always glad to support mainstream and underground rap scenes equally.

    The "personal touch" that accompanies Theory X's products is what makes us so trustworthy and reliable.  We like to keep tabs on our customers, and form lasting relationships with them.  We enjoy the rewards of our hard work, but money is not what we are all about.  Even though Theory X needs money to support itself and continue to produce high quality instrumentals, we are in this for the spirit of the game itself.  All of our producers have extensive music backgrounds, ranging from jazz to heavy metal - so we understand where the artists that approach us are coming from.  With that said, we provided many services that may be able to catapult those artists to success.

    What can we do for you?
    Theory X Productions constantly renovates, attempting to stay one step ahead of the pack with innovative policies, features, and options.  Whether you are an independent musician making a demo, an established superstar, or an arts + entertainment company looking for someone to supply the music for your video montages, documentaries, or films, we are here for you.  We live to serve our customers loyally, and hope to gain that loyalty in return.  Check out the following scenarios and see which one you fit into...

    I'm an independent/underground rapper trying to get heard/signed, and I need some beats:
    For those of you trying to make your first dent in the music industry, or just trying to get your name out in the underground scene, we are aware of the difficulty presented when trying to find beats are affordable prices.  We realize that free beats come few and far between, and are oftentimes not the quality you had hoped for.  Because of this, we offer our listed material for use freely, under certain circumstances.

    We have been in this game for a few years now, and have had our share of emcees ripping off our material.  This is a continual problem, but we have never made our material non-downloadable.  The reason for this is that we have trust in most people, and believe that most will do the right thing when presented with a fair choice.  We have no problem with emcees using our material to make their demos, or on other non-profit ventures, but we still need to keep tabs on them, just in case they get ahead of themselves and try something funny.

    Because of this, we have created the Theory X Productions "Ill Beats Club", which provides participating musicians with an opportunity to use our beats on demos/non-profit ventures for free, provided they supply us with the information we need to prevent theft and misuse of our products.  Proper credit must also be given to Theory X Productions and the beat makers who physically worked on the final product.

    To inquire about this service, or to get more information, send an e-mail to the following address:

    TO:  cryopath@hotmail.com
    SUBJECT:  "Ill Beats Club"

    As far as legal issues go regarding the use of our material on demos and for non-profit use, more information is available from Theory X Productions directly.  Feel free to e-mail us with any questions or inquiries you may have.  Under no circumstances is anyone that is not signed up for the "Ill Beats Club" allowed to use our products for any reason whatsoever, regardless of who they are.

    I think your beats are hot, and I'd like to purchase some for use on projects where I can make a profit:
    For those of you emcees or companies out there looking to license or lease our tracks for use on profit earning ventures, we also have a wide variety of options for you to take advantage of.

    First things first, all beats produced by Theory X Productions, both those on this page and those that are not, are copyrighted, and are not to be used by anyone to make a profit until said client has paid for the rights to the instrumental(s), and has agreed to Theory X Productions' legal stipulations by form of signature.  Redistribution of these beats/instrumentels is strictly prohibited, unless exclusive rights have been purchased.  Legal action can and will be taken if any of these policies are violated.

    As far as purchases of beats go, check out our packages below:

    Lease Package:
    Theory X Productions will license any of its available tracks for use at concerts or shows, under a "charge per performance" stipulation.  A base fee of $15 will be assessed to anyone wishing to use our material on a per-performance basis, per performance.  This is the perfect option for those on a tight budget, but with large local followings.  The more beats you lease, the cheaper it is.  For an example, see below:

    1 Instrumental / 1 Performance: $15
    2 Instrumentals / 2 Performances: $25
    3 instrumentals / 3 Performances: $35
    4 instrumentals / 4 Performances: $45

    What you physically receive:
    *  Licensing documentation which shows that you have purchased licensing for a certain beat (includes stamp of authenticity).

    For more information on this package or its feature, inquire by sending an e-mail to:  cryopath@hotmail.com

    Licensing Package Exclusive Rights:
    Licensing varies from beat-to-beat.  Each beat has a specific price, which is set by Theory X Productions.  Modifications to beats, such as rearrangement of parts, EQ adjustments, or addition of other instruments/sections, are a separate fee, and vary as well.  If interested in getting more information on modification prices, you must e-mail Theory X Productions personally.  Since fees are variable for modifications depending on the beat chosen, please e-mail the name of the beat when inquiring.

    NOTE:  Licensing fees do not include shipping fees.  For shipping policies/options, see below.

    This service is recommended to every underground indie artist or label which doesn't have a large budget and/or doesn't move over 10,000 units.  Additional licensing fees are included in the price of beats in the case of signed or established artists which moved over 10,000 units with their previous release.  Those fees vary as well, and more information can be attained by contacting Theory X.

    If you moved less than 10,000 units with your previous release, or have not released anything in the past, disregard the additional licensing fee.

    With licensing you do not get the elements/tracks (snareline, kickline, hatline, bassline, melody-hook/verse, etc), or any of the individual parts used to create the beat, on CD. You get the beat as is, as it was listed on the page, unless modifications are requested prior to purchase of the beat (they must be paid for ahead of time).

    After receiving the instrumental CD in the mail, you have until 72 hours after receiving the package to report any major errors or mistakes, and to request that it be resent.  We have never had a problem with this, however.

    The details of "exclusive rights":
    *  You earn the freedom to use the beat for whichever purpose(s) you wish.
    *  We maintain the copyright to the original instrumental, but lose all rights to sell, market, display, or use it in any way.
    *  The said instrumental will be removed from all Theory X Productions websites.
    *  Production credit must be given to Theory X Productions and the respective producers of the tracks
    *  Credit must be given on any sites featuring the instrumental, and on any album/EP/demo featuring it

    What you physically receive:
    * CD of the beat playable in any CD Audio Player.
    * Licensing documentation which shows that you have purchased licensing for a certain beat (includes stamp of authenticity).
    * Special deals on unreleased beats (not featured on any website), which are offered only to loyal customers.

    Payment Process:
    Contact us after clearly listening to each song that we produced on our site.  If you have heard each song, enjoy our style, and are interested in working with us, then feel free to contact us.  We accept credit card payments through Paypal.com, a safe and secure site which is trusted by over 6,000 U.S. companies.

    We also accept money orders (delivery is confirmed, so they don't get lost in the mail when you send them to us).  Please, do not send personal checks.  They're nothing but trouble.  To get a Money Order, go to your local post office and ask for information.

    We are a fully functional business and have not once received a single complaint about our service.  We have been in business for over 3 years and our accountability is unquestionable. It is fair that the buyer is concerned with whether he is going to be cheated but you will not be cheated by us... no one has complained thus far. We give you exactly what we say, and we make no excuses. If you are interested and have the funds available for what you want, contact us as soon as you wish:  cryopath@hotmail.com

    Please do not contact us to chit chat, talk about how good you are, etc. This is a business, serious inquiries only please.

    Shipping Process/Options:
    When you license a beat by purchasing exclusive rights to it, we will mail you a CD with the track(s) purchased on it, playable in any CD Audio Player.  If you feel that this CD is unnecessary, feel free to let us know, and we will disregard the shipping fee.  Otherwise, if you require us to mail you a CD, check below to see which fees to attach.  We offer shipment in four ways:

    Standard Mail (uninsured):  $2.00
    Standard Mail (insured): $4.00
    Priority Mail: $5.00
    FedEx/UPS (so you can track the package): $10.00


    Theory X Productions will give all members of the "Ill Beats Club" permission to use our material on demos and on non-profit sites, under certain circumstances. To inquire about joining the club, click below.

    NOTE:
    The information on this page is current but is not complete.  The information provided on this page is merely an overview our policies, and is not the legal equivalent of our policies or contracts.  Upon joining the "Ill Beats Club" or purchasing any of our material, legally binding contracts will be mailed to you, which require signatures.  Do not assume that the lax explanations for policy on this page are as such in the contracts themselves.  You will be sadly mistaken.  Theory X Productions reserves the right to change any of its policies at any time in order to maintain itself, and it is the responsibility of the customers themselves to keep themselves up-to-date on said changes.

    DISCLAIMER:
    When sending money you agree to all the terms of our contracts (sent to you after offer is made) and understand everything and each detail in those contracts. No money is refunded after receiving the instrumental on CD. Make sure you like what you hear before you send money. We WILL NOT give money back on anything that has left our studio. Sorry. Items are sold "as is" but at the same time we will fix problems if there are any.
