Greetings Everyone,

Another hectic week...ugh...but I did manage to create a couple of cool new tracks to share:

"TUNNELS UNDER METROPOLIS "
"TUNNELS UNDER METROPOLIS _v001"

You'll find them on my City/Urban 3 page. Here's a link:
https://soundimage.org/city-urban-3/

Other News

Glad to see that my Ogg music packs are coming in handy! They should be a huge time-saver...plus you can create your own playlists and listen to them to audition tracks while doing other things.

So enjoy...and as always, please stay safe and keep being creative. :-)

Eric_Matyas 08-25-2022 05:16 PM

Does anyone need some custom music created? Give me a shout...I'd love to help!

https://soundimage.org/custom-work/

That said, I have a cool new music track to share with everyone...100% free to use with attribution, like my other 2000+ tracks:

Greetings Fellow Creatives,

If you find my free music helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts. I don't allow advertising on the site because I feel it would be distracting to my visitors so I pay for everything myself. Support from the community is literally what makes this possible. Thank you in advance! :-)

That said, this week's new free music tracks are:

On my Funny 8 page:
"MONSTER MERRY-GO-ROUND "

Hi everyone,

As of this past week, the black and pink buttons on my site that take you to my higher-quality Ogg tracks and packs on Gumroad are not displaying properly nor are they working properly. I am working with my web hosting company to resolve the issue. In the meantime, please don’t use them.

You can still download my tracks freely in mp3 format. The links are under the players for each track.

If you need a particular track or pack in Ogg format, please email me and I’ll send you a direct link to it on Gumroad. My email address is on my homepage.

As always, please stay safe and keep creating. :-)

Eric_Matyas 10-17-2022 05:47 AM

Greetings!

The buttons issue on my website has been resolved and everything is working perfectly.

Enjoy! :-)

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.
