Sharing My Original Music and Sound FX - Over 2000 Tracks

[Eric Matyas]

Happy August Everyone!

To kick off the new month, I've created and uploaded a couple of new tracks to my Funny 8 page. They are:

"THE WACKY FACTORY"
"DUBSTEP DANGER"
https://soundimage.org/funny-8/

Please don't forget about my Ogg music packs which enable you to download all of my tracks at once from various genres. They sound really good, too...plus Ogg tracks tend to loop better in game engines. Links to the packs are near the top of my music pages, as well as here:

https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/

They're a cool way to support my efforts, too...check them out!

In the meantime, enjoy my free tracks...I sincerely hope they're helpful! :-)

OTHER NEWS

I've had several people ask me how to find my newest tracks on my site.  For genres with multiple pages, my newest tracks are on the pages with the highest numbers...(for example, my newest fantasy tracks are on my Fantasy 12 page...my oldest ones are on Fantasy 1.) Anyhow, I went ahead and reordered the text links to my music pages (right side of the screen) to reflect this.  The tracks on each page are the same as always. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Have a good week!  :-)

Enjoy! :-)

Just wondering... did you know we had audio BBCode?


Welcome to the Mansion (Lo-Fi version)

Code:

[audio]https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Welcome-to-the-Mansion_LoFi.mp3[/audio]

May be lo-fi... but its still in stereo.

Yep, that's because lo-fi and mono are two different things entirely. :-) Lo-fi (LoFi) is a style you often hear online with slow, "chill" hip-hop pieces. It creates a really interesting atmospheric sound by reducing and eliminating certain frequencies of sound. Anyhow, I've started experimenting with it with my own tracks and discovered that it works really well for some of them.

Anyhow...

Happy September Everyone!

Greetings Creatives,

This week's new free-to-use-with-attribution music tracks are all on my Sci-Fi 12 page. They are:

"STRANDED IN THE OUTER RIM"_LoFi
"CIRCUIT PUNK GAME MENU"_LoFi
"ALIEN COLOSSEUM"_LoFi

OGG vs. MP3 TRACKS
For those of you who need looping tracks, I would highly recommend using the Ogg versions of my tracks. Besides sounding richer, Ogg tracks loop better in game engines. The reason for this is that the MP3 encoding process sometimes discards a tiny amount of audio information at the looping point. This causes a noticeable audio gap when the track loops. Mp3 encoding doesn't do this every single time, but it does it enough to be annoying. Ogg encoding doesn't discard any audio information so tracks always loop seamlessly.

In terms of audio quality, the MP3 versions of my tracks do sound very good...that's because the synthesizers I use are all top-of-the-line and produce very high quality sound. Still, the Ogg versions sound even better...almost as good as the original WAV recordings right out of my synths...but are much smaller in file size. WAV files are enormous.

My recommendation is to use my MP3 tracks as placeholders and then replace them with my Ogg tracks once you've decided which music you want to use.

My premium Ogg music packs are here:
https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/

You can also search for individual Ogg tracks on my Gumroad page. When doing so, make sure to include _ogg after each title because that's how the tracks are named.

Enjoy and have a good week! :-)
