Author Interview: Danielku

This week in our series of interviews of AudioJungle authors, we meet…

Danielku (Daniel Keller)

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living?

My name is Daniel and I’m a 21 year old half-Polish, half-Swiss guy from Switzerland. I’m a logistics assistant and salesman in a Car Logistics Store (they don’t sell cars), and I like to speak with people and sell them what they need to be satisfied. Until now I have receive just positive feedback, and I hope that doesn’t change .

Author Interview: Danielku

2. How long have you been composing music and what got you started producing?

I started around the year 2008 with doodling around and learning how harmonies arise. I listened to music and thought about how it is made, and started to take inspiration of it to start some of my own tracks. It’s a pity that I’ve never really got much time to keep on creating much music. Now I’m here and I want to change that!

3. Do you play any instruments? Do you have any formal music training?

I started to learn notes and I will start to play keys now I’ve got a MIDI keyboard in my room. (more…)

Track of the Day: Open Air Dance

AudioJungle Track of the Day

Author: Saare
Track Name: Open Air Dance
Duration: 1:12

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

A quirky piece of percussive and folk-influenced pop that develops into somewhat of an independent movie anthem by the end of the track as the brass and flute instruments take control of the happy chorus. You can’t help but feel happier by the end of the track!

Audio Gadgets: Orb Bluetooth Headset

In the eighties everyone got wired for sound. In the noughties, its about going wireless. Many of us use Bluetooth headsets to stay connected, not least so that we can safely answer the phone while driving. Personally, I think big black Bluetooth devices sticking out of the side of our heads is pretty ugly – especially when accompanied by a flashing blue neon light. This gadget is trying to change that.

Hybra Advance Technology and AbsolutelyNew have got together and created the Orb Bluetooth headset. It looks slim and attractive, and maybe a little bit girley. Coolest Gadgets describe it like this: “Imagine receiving a call from your ring, removing it, and then turning it into a Bluetooth earpiece to take the call. That is the simple concept of The Orb, a ring-shaped device that becomes an S-shaped device to fit into the ear.”

The Orb uses NXT technology to achieve high quality bone conduction audio without the discomfort of placing the device inside your ear. The two words that sum this device up are functional and elegant.

The companies are also planning a deluxe edition, which achieves everything above, and adds a Flexible Organic Light Emitting Device (FOLED) screen to display caller ID, calendar reminders, and voice-to-text information for communication without taking the ring off the finger.

Like all good things, you’ll have to wait. The Orb Bluetooth headset isn’t planned for release until next year. The basic version is planned to cost USD$129, and the deluxe version will go for $175.

What do you think of the concept? Would you use one? I’m hoping they come out with a stereo pair so I can listen to music on the run.

By Popular Demand: The Resale Licence

We have been getting a LOT of requests from buyers wanting a licence to use files in products for resale, so we’ve made one!

The licence is called the Single Use Conditional Resale Permitted Licence ["Conditional Resale"]. You can read about it here:

http://audiojungle.net/legal/licences

Right now every author is automatically opted-out, so you will need to opt in if you wish to sell your files under this licence (see instructions below).

The Conditional Resale licence allows a file to be used in an item for resale, and it’s priced at 50 times the cost of a standard single use licence.

So for instance, you could buy this licence if you wanted to:

Put a GraphicRiver graphic on a t-shirt for sale in a store.
Put a FlashDen preloader into a Flash theme for sale.
Put a VideoHive video and an AudioJungle loop into software that would allow people to make their own custom video with music.
Put a ThemeForest theme into software that would allow people to create intranets.

How Do I Opt-In?

If you wish to offer your file under this licence, all you need to do is:

Go to your Account page.
Go the the Edit tab.
Click on Item Licences.
Click the boxes next to the licence name to opt-in.
Press Save!

If you have any questions support will be happy to answer them!

Author Salute: Musicant

Author Salute

This week’s salute goes to a fairly new AudioJungle author Musicant, who made 28 sales in June.

Musicant is an exclusive AudioJungle author from the Ukraine. They have recently become an AudioJungle author in May 2009, and have uploaded 18 items, made 63 sales, and achieved an average rating of Star_on Star_on Star_on Star_on Star_on .

Best Selling Tracks: Beautiful Worlds and Jump In The Sky

Their best selling track is a lyrical composition, Beautiful Worlds, a laid back track featuring drums and electric guitar, with a great bass track. This track has had 37 sales in just a month.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Musicant’s second best seller is Jump in the Sky, which has a rock feel, and again features electric guitar and drums, with some use of organ. Musicant describes it as a “cheerful, youth composition”.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Other Tracks

Here are two more of Musicant’s tracks that I enjoyed:

Last Night is a lyrical composition that features sentimental electric guitar melodies. It starts with a sparse ambient feel, then the rhythm and bass line come in. The track makes good use of reverb and delay, and is quite different to some of Musicant’s other tracks.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Don’t Go starts very laid back, with some guitar arpeggios with strings in the background. A third of the way through the track it changes up, as a strummed acoustic guitar then electric lead and bass guitars come in and the rhythm builds. The dynamics change up and down several times through the track.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Congratulations, Musicant. I enjoy your unique style and blend of instruments.

Discover Logic Pro

Sorry if I disapoint the Trekkies Google has sent this way, but this article isn’t about learning Vulcan philosophy – it’s about Logic Pro, a digital audio workstation which is part of Apple’s music production suite, Logic Studio. If you’re a Logic fan, let us know why in the comments.

Logic Pro costs around USD$500 and is currently at version 9. It only works on Macs, so if you’re a Windows user your interest may start to wane. If you’re a Mac user, though, this is definitely one to look at. (more…)
