Recently I’ve been looking for new ways to use my Apple TV. A while ago I started downloading video podcasts, and there are some good ones out there.
More recently I have been surfing Youtube, and in particular looking for clips that inspire my musical creativity. Here are nine of my favorites. (more…)
Continuing our series of real-life uses of royalty-free music from AudioJungle, here are some projects using the outstanding audio of AudioJungle author Emmett Cooke who you might better know as musicformedia:
The first project is an iPhone game called Need For Cheese that uses the track Wacky Adventure in both the game preview and the actual game:
Another track from musicformedia’s portfolio was used on the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation Web site. The track is called Constant Motion and can be accessed on the Stem Cell Foundation Web site by skipping the intro and clicking “Sign Charter” in the navigation menu:
Emmet has also had his music featured in a few films. An example of which is , Daloy, a short Philipino movie by Ronnie Sapinoso. Emmet’s track was used in the intro to this movie. The track is titled Desire – Piano Duet:
Finally, the track Calm was used in a documentary by Carolyn O Neill for Children’s Cove.
Thank you to musicformedia for sharing these projects with us and for the customers who purchased the audio from AudioJungle.
Have you used AudioJungle audio on a project? Or if you’re an author, has your work been used somewhere? If so, let us know and we’ll try to feature it on our blog!
Finding the right piece of audio for any kind of project can be tricky. This is particularly true for film, where the right choice of audio can make or break a crucial scene. This time of year when dark nights and the even darker shrouds of Halloween are upon us, finding the right cinematic soundscape for a dark film production is essential to capturing the fear and terror among viewers.
While AudioJungle has over 10,000 royalty-free stock audio items to choose from, we have a powerful search tool and easy-to-use categories to assist the way you explore our vast library of stock sound effects and music. That said, we’ve decided to help you out a little this Halloween season by showcasing some of the most impressive and scary audio on AudioJungle. So buckle-up, and hold tight, as we experience a collection of audio with a fright…
It’s always great when customers contact me and tell me how they’ve used AudioJungle music, Sound Effects and/or Logos & Idents in their projects. AudioJungle is a goldmine for inexpensive yet high quality royalty-free, stock audio. So it’s no surprise when I see the many creative ways customers are using AudioJungle music for their film, video, Web, game, and podcasting needs.
If you’re an AudioJungle customer and would like to tell us about some of the projects that use AudioJungle audio, please contact me (sitemanager@audiojungle.net), we’d love to feature your project on our blog!
Take Richard from Surrey-based film production company FX Media for example. He has been using royalty free stock music from AudioJungle for a while now on some of his video and film productions.
Here are some of the videos FX Media have created using music from the AudioJungle music library:
Track used: Born to Be Big by author Soundroll
Track used: Night Life by author Leto:
Social media has totally changed the music industry. Where it used to be virtually impossible to get someone to listen to your music, including prospective record companies, it’s now incredibly easy to use the Internet as a vehicle for self promotion and publicity. Now, instead of waiting for a rare opportunity to perform to just a handful of people, it’s now possible to share your music overnight to potentially millions of people from all corners of the world.
Sites such as YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and Last.FM are just a few of the more famous and popular Web sites that musicians, singers and bands are all using to get their music out there into the homes of potential fans, customers and record labels. Publishing and marketing on social media Web sites is an incredibly fast and inexpensive way to promote your music. If you want to be successful, you’ve got to get your self noticed and you’ve got to get your music heard.
In the first of a brand new series, we’re going to showcase and applaud talented and unique musicians and artists who have used the Internet to promote their incredible music. You may have heard about these artists before or you may not. Either way, we want to celebrate how the Internet has afforded us the opportunity of discovering new talent and and new music.
Last week the musical world said farewell to a hero: Lester William Polsfuss, better known as Les Paul. He passed away last Thursday at the ripe age of 94.
His life was both long and full, and his achievements have had tremendous impact on the way we make music today, including the invention of the solid-body electric guitar, the technique of overdubbing, and the use of audio effects.
He wasn’t just an inventor – he was a virtuoso musician, sold millions of records, was a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and played guitar well into his 90s – despite problems with arthritis.
At AudioJungle we celebrate what he accomplished during his rich life, and salute a hero. (more…)

Ben Redmond, a Web graphic designer and post production assistant from Los Angeles, alerted us in the AudioJungle forums yesterday about a short film competition he entered that uses audio from AudioJungle. The producer of the winning video will win a cool $10,000.
The short film is called First Charitable Act and the audio used in the film is called Fly’n Sun – Hyper Chill and Atmosphere by AudioJungle author SoundProdigy.
This is a great example of how effective AudioJungle audio can be for any type of media, particularly video and film, as Ben explains:
“I like AudioJungle’s broad selection – I seem to find a sound for every project I’m working on here. I need affordable licensed music for all the projects I work on and I always find the quality of the compositions exceed my expectations. I like supporting a community of musicians who seem to have a similar approach to their craft that I do.”
Ben uses Adobe After Effects and Audacity for most of his film and audio editing. He has also found and purchased other audio on AudioJungle in the past:
“I used “Spinach Drones” by robotmilk for another contest video I created. I’m constantly looking for new pieces of audio to add to my bookmarks so that I can refer back to them when I’m working on new projects. I will definitely be using AudioJungle in the future!”
You can support Ben and SoundProdigy by voting for First Charitable Act. But please hurry! Voting ends tomorrow, July 25th.
