New Year = New Stuff

-

With the new year I am happy to announce some major stuff I've been working on for the past few months!



First of all - I just launched a brand new site. It is a total redesign from the ground up and with the new look I've also added a lot of content:

The main product Universal Sound FX (USFX) was just updated with 669 new sound effects bringing the total to no less than 4253 high quality sound effects. The price of this sound pack increased from $30 to $40, but I am celebrating this new year, new site launch, and new content by offering a 50% new year discount until 9th January 2016! So, for $20 you get over 4250 sound effects, mastered and edited to be game-ready, for royalty free use in your awesome games that you make!

"Sound Design Packs" are a new addition to this site. They are different from the game-ready packs in such a way that the quality of audio is even higher and the sounds are mostly unprocessed for other sound designers to use when creating sounds. The audio quality is way too high for instant use in games since the sample rate if four times as high as what the human ear can really detect much difference and the files would be way too big in games. The reason these packs exist is that the high sample rate and bit depth make the sounds super useful when you process sound when designing new sound effects through compression, pitch shifting, etc. Since I create a lot of source audio that I use in my sound design process, I decided to sell them as Sound Design Packs for other sound designers to use. Due to this new addition, game-ready sound effects are sold in "Game-Ready Sound Packs".

An About Me section has been added to let you know a little more about me outside of making sound effects.

The new Studio section contains details about the equipment I use. During the past year I have massively ramped up my investments by adding a new silent recording room, new professional grade microphones, recording equipment, and sound editing software.

I have also added a new FAQ where you may find answers to questions relating to the sound effects.

There is a new newsletter that you can subscribe to from the front page - look at the bottom on that page.

With this much stuff going on - there may be an error or two, please contact me if you find anything that doesn't look quite right and I will be most thankful for your help!

Let's make some great stuff happen this year - I am super excited... are you???

If you are into developing games, especially indie games, my library of royalty free music may be of interest to you. I continuously add new tracks to the library and they are very competitively priced (range is usually $5 - $50 and remember - royalty free.)

A beautiful melody builds up in layers until it reaches a climax with piano and an electric guitar lead. It may be suitable for space games, adventures, puzzles, ...

Leaving The Outpost (Game Music)

-
It's tough to find time to make music these days, especially now that both my children are ill with eye infections and flu. Still, I managed to find a spare moment in the evening to compose this space inspired song. I decided to call the song "Leaving The Outpost" and I imagine a peaceful and relaxing space scene, maybe in an adventure, RTS, or MMORPG. The song features two sections. First a mellow melodic section with soft synth leads playing a beautiful melody and layers of filtered pads. The second part is more of an ambient soundscape with sweeping pads and scifi sounds. http://soundtrack.imphenzia.com/non-exclusive-music/leaving-the-outpost/ The track is available as a full length track (with a start and a finish) and a perfectly seamless loop. License it for your indie space game today =)

C64 remixing

-
Last night I spent a few hours starting to remix a classic old C64 SID-track to be released on remix.kwed.org which has turned out to be a good site for both constructive feedback and acting as a channel to promote Imphenzia as my last remix released there (The Fallen) has had around 3500 plays since February 2008. The remix I am working on now was originally driving me around the bend because the original has got an offbeat rhythm to it that I was determined to recreate before I add my remix twist to it, but I finally got it down... However... The sequencer doesn't quite line up the measures accordingly so it is difficult to arrange the track. Well see where it leads.
