Sharing My Music and Sound FX - Over 2000 Tracks

EricMatyas · May 2020

Hi everyone,

If you need some original music and sound effects for your projects, I've created over 2000 tracks that you are welcome to freely use. All I ask is to be attributed as explained on my website:

soundimage.org/

I sincerely hope some of my work is helpful. Any and all feedback is welcome and much appreciated.

Enjoy!

SinisterSoft · May 2020

Hi Eric, thanks for joining our forum and letting us know about your music/sound fx.

(I've removed the post linking to your site I made earlier as it's better everything is here in this thread.

)

Stay safe and healthy.

SinisterSoft · May 2020

Thanks, you stay safe too!

EricMatyas · May 2020

Hi everyone,

This week’s new free MP3 music tracks are from two pages on my site:

From my Chiptunes 3 page:

THE PIXELVILLE HALL OF JUSTICE – (Looping)

And from my Funny 7 page:

GAME WORLD SILLINESS
LOLA PIXEL RETURNS
MORE FISHBOWL ACROBATICS – (Looping)

Please stay healthy and safe.

EricCarr · May 2020

Very cool, enjoying going through your catalog of music. I'm returning to an adventure game I started a few years ago and some of the loops are perfect.

EricMatyas · June 2020

Awesome...I'm glad some of my work will be helpful! :-)

Speaking of which...

Good News:

Super high-quality Ogg versions of all of my Puzzle Music Tracks are ready. That’s around 100 tracks to choose from…all created from my original WAV recordings (but much smaller in file size.) They’re really cool, too, because they can be used for all kinds of things in addition to puzzle games. You’ll find them on my Puzzle Music 1-5 pages.

More Good News:
All of the tracks on my Fantasy 9 page now have Ogg versions as well. They sound great!

And even MORE good news:
If you create arcade-style games (or know someone who does) Ogg versions of all the tracks on my Chiptunes 1 page are now ready, too.

That said, this week’s new free MP3 tracks are:

On my Epic / Battle page:
PREPARING FOR BATTLE – (Looping)

On my Fantasy 10 page:
THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM – (Looping)

And on my Looping Music page:
RACING MENU_V001 – (Looping)
80’S SPACE GAME LOOP_V002

Keep being creative and please stay safe.

SinisterSoft · June 2020

The newest releases of Gideros should be able to stream these track too I think - so they won't affect build size.

SinisterSoft · June 2020

loader=UrlLoader.new()
loader:setStreaming(true) --Enable streaming mode
-- Create our mp3 Buffer
loader.mp3=Buffer.new("buffer.mp3",true)
 
-- Process stream data
loader:addEventListener(Event.PROGRESS,function (e)
	loader.mp3:append(e.chunk)
	if loader.mp3:size()>100000 and not loader.mp3.started then
		Sound.new("|B|buffer.mp3"):play() --Play the buffer content by name
		loader.mp3.started=true
	end
	if loader.mp3.started then
		-- Periodically trim already played data from buffer
		loader.mp3:trim(loader.mp3:tell())
	end
end)
 
loader:load("<a href="http://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Bubble-Gum-Puzzler.mp3" rel="nofollow">http://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Bubble-Gum-Puzzler.mp3</a>")

SinisterSoft · June 2020

The href stuff shouldn't be in the code - the forum put it in there. see:

SinisterSoft · June 2020

@EricMatyas You should put a note on your website about streaming directly from it. Do you mind or would you rather files were copied off to another server before being streamed?

EricMatyas · June 2020

Hey there, I'm not an I.T. person so I don't really understand your question, but my tracks are meant to be downloaded from my site and then used. Thanks. :-)

OGG TRACKS UPDATE

Super high-quality Ogg versions of all my Fantasy Tracks are finally ready. That’s about 200 tracks to choose from…all created from my original WAV recordings (but much smaller in file size.) They sound great and are a cool way to support my work.

That said, this week’s new free MP3 tracks are improved versions of the following:
On my Fantasy 1 page:

Misty Bog
Mystical Backstory_v001_Looping
High Altitude Station_v001_Looping

On my Fantasy 2 page:

Strange Game Menu_v001a_Looping
Strange Game Menu_v002a_Looping
Strange Game Menu_v003a_Looping

On my Fantasy 5 page:

Mystical Lands Beckon_v001_Looping

On my Fantasy 7

Sadlands_v001_Looping

And on my Sci-Fi 7 page:

Alley Chase_v001_Looping

Enjoy…and please stay safe (and healthy.)

EricMatyas · June 2020

Another Special Request to Everyone:

If you possibly can, please consider making a small donation on my website to support my work. The synthesizers I use to create free music for everyone are very expensive (2 Korgs and a Yamaha.) I actually have to make monthly payments on them and donations from the creative community really help me a LOT to pay for them. Thanks in advance. :-)

That said, I managed to get a couple of new tracks done for everyone. Free to use, as always, with attribution:

On My Epic / Battle page:
“COMRADES ALWAYS” (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/epic-battle/

On my Fantasy 10 page:
“OF KNIGHTS AND KINGS” (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/fantasy-10/

Please stay safe and healthy.

EricMatyas · June 2020

Another big THANK YOU to those of you who reached out and supported my efforts this month. You make this possible for the rest of the community…thank you!

It’s been a very busy week, but I did get a few new tracks done for everyone. You’ll find them all on my Sci-Fi 9 page:

ROBO BOSS BATTLE – (Looping)
GRUNGE STREET – (Looping)
MOONLIT CYBER ALLEYS – (Looping)

https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-9/

Enjoy…and please stay safe (and healthy.)

EricMatyas · July 2020

Another very busy week…and I’m a bit under the weather…but here are some new tracks for everyone. Free to use, of course, with attribution.

On my Puzzle Music 5 page:

ISLAND OF PUZZLES – (Looping)
TROPICAL MYSTERIES – (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-5/

On my World page:

EXOTIC DANGERS - (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/world/

I’m glad to see that my Ogg files are being utilized…I’ll try to get more uploaded this week. If you need any that I haven’t done yet, just message me and I’ll upload them for you.

Thanks for your support and please stay safe.

EricMatyas · July 2020

Hi Folks,

This week’s new free music tracks are:

On my Fantasy 10 page:
A TRAIL OF JEWELS – (Looping)
QUIRKY GAME WORLD – (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/fantasy-10/

On my Funny 7 page:
THE FISHBOWL ACROBATS RETURN – (Looping)
WINDLE’S WHIMSICAL STREET – (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/funny-7/

If you’re wondering what the big fuss about Ogg tracks is, they have several advantages:

-They are small in size.
-Game engines seem to handle them better for looping…MP3 files occasionally need editing.
-They sound fantastic…almost as good as my original WAVs.
-They’re a cool way to support my work!

EricMatyas · July 2020

Hey guys,

Here are this week’s brand new free music tracks. I hope they are helpful.

Please stay safe and healthy…and don’t stop being creative!

EricMatyas · July 2020

@EricMatyas You should put a note on your website about streaming directly from it. Do you mind or would you rather files were copied off to another server before being streamed?

My opinion:

I think you should always copy it off to another server you maintain if you plan to stream, regardless of where you source media (sound, music, images).

Two good reasons:

1. You do not want a dependency that you have no control over (that 3rd party site could go down, files renamed, etc)
2. You do not want to cause abuse problems for the original source that could get you in trouble later, if your app suddenly becomes popular.

Also, in most cases I would not recommend streaming music in a game. You end up wasting the user's bandwidth each time they play the game versus a one time download bundled with the app. This causes increased complexity and costs to you in maintaining a server and paying for bandwidth, as well as the end gamer who now cannot play offline and needlessly wastes their bandwidth.

Another option is downloading music/media that will be needed later, in the background and saving it. I may consider that for my adventure game if it gets too big. This also adds complexity, but maybe you want it for a game with unlockable content.

That said, people are used to downloading 100MB+ games now so there is less reason not to include it in the app purely for size reduction.

EricMatyas · August 2020

You're very welcome...I'm glad my music was helpful. I'll be sure to check out your game! :-)
