Just starting to mess around with making music, forgive my lack of skill. Free to use for anybody who might find it useful.
This is for my game, Star Shift Alpha.

these tunes would suit car racing games,
souns like rachet 'n' clank style of music in some places.
Yeah I'm making them for a space RPG but the tool I'm using is more suited toward dance music....So I'm making music that I'd rave to I guess.
what progam you using to make the music with? Because some of the instruments are pretty good. I'm intersted to hear the dance stuff if you plan on making some to put on here or have some avaliable to listen to. I been using a few of the eletronica and techno tunes from off here because I'm got a couple of dance clubs in my game (on different planets).
Nothing special:

Maybe you could make something cool too in that app. It's super easy to use but very basic. I am impressed at the simplicity of it though.
You might want to use a different pogram to make music with or buy a license for Fl Studio, because theres's restrictions on the usage of this program (reading the licensed agreement now), thee guys have laid out many restrictions on their sounds.
Well it seems like everybody does that. I hate copyright, I really do...All art is built on previous art. These draconian restrictions simply prevent more stuff from getting out there. I think from here on out I'm not going to share where I made my stuff because there's always a license restriction no matter what program I try. There's always some sort of messed up angle.
It's like "Hey let's make a program where you can make your own music, and then as soon as you do we're going to sue your ass!" What a crock of shit. They even have the nerve to charge for certain sounds and then you're not allowed to use it...I'm just ignoring the copyrights but I don't make money on it and I don't claim it as my own with any kind of license so I'm all good. I just want to get more stuff out there for people to use.
You hate copyright? Copyright is just a walk in the park when compared to the whacky upside-down world of PATENTS, Patents is like Alice in Wonderland..... Patents are whats truly the spawn from hell, because they restrict freedom and creativity in game making. Patents tell you what you can and cannot create in your own games, patents protect game mechanics, & ideas, and concepts to prevent knock offs from being created from an inventor and a patent is dictated to by a company who files in for one, for example, you can't use the mass effect mouse diaglog Wheel idea in your own interactive dialog games because that mouse wheel system is protected by a patent, and patents usually last about 15-20 years I think, so that's not as long as copyright which is like 70+ years. So with some companies you may have to pay them licensing fees just to use their patents if they allow that, and they won't even tell you who they license their patents out to.., And in Final Fantasy, you can't use Yuna's sphere grid system in your game because that too is protected by patent, in fact all most all of Final Fantasy is protected by patents, so bravo to the company who filed over 238+ or so patents for Final Fantasy.
So its copyright, + Trademarks + Patents, + Distribtion Rights and so the train wreck known as intellectural Property Rights drags on through all this legal tape....so its not just only copyright infringement developers have to worry about.
For sure we're speaking the same language. Patents shouldn't be allowed either.
You're totally right, I was just focusing on one part of it haha. You can't own an idea.
If a fan wants to compete and make their own version of Star Trek, they should be able to...If I could keep copyright or Patent law...What I would require is that you have to register that you are using a certain idea or concept, and then it would be attached to the "family tree" so you can see where a certain trademark or idea came from, so the inventor would get credit, but it would also be open for everybody else.
We should be able to buy an iphone, take it apart, and figure out how to build our own.
I don't care if anybody takes my ideas, I see it as a compliment and it just spreads the idea more. But not everybody thinks that way..That's for sure.
I think with these guys with your music program, they don't want you uploading the sounds you buy or make with their program to anyone else, I think patents is a silly system, Reading a game patent is like Playing a set of out of tune bagpipes without even stopping to take a breath. I think the patent system is still like the free commercial english speech synthesis programs, They are both good at speaking bad english......So no i don't like the way patents are worded, its confusing.
Patents and Copyrights should be abolished or cut back to a much shorter period of time...A whole human lifetime is too long.
It really holds back innovation since all knowledge and art is built on previous stuff...so when you prevent that then you just get less of it.
Another example here of why copyrights are stupid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W1_8IV8uhA
They managed to make a 20 minute video on a shoestring budget that did a better job at telling a Star Trek story than JJ Abrams and the large film studios with all their millions to make a film.
What is the ultimate status of this track's licence status? Is it free/Public Domain, or not, because of the whole Soundation thing?
Here is the exact licensing agreement. Soundation uses a huge library of sounds (a few seconds long). The licensing agreement allows me to sell or release on my terms completed songs and tracks...But it does not allow me to download the 500 individual sounds and sell them as sounds, or upload them as sounds, but it's all good when it's a full piece of music
Check out the agreement, it's all about selling or using their individual sounds (not a complete production) which makes sense...Since I am able to do what I want with it..I am freely sharing the full production so that other people can enjoy it too. I think I am totally cool here:
BEFORE PURCHASING, DOWNLOADING AND USING ANY SOUND FROM THE Soundation Studio and Sound Shop, PLEASE READ THE SOUNDATION COPYRIGHT/LICENSING AGREEMENT. YOUMUST ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO BUY AND DOWNLOAD SOUNDS. ONCE YOU HAVE ACCEPTED IT, YOU ARE BOUND TO THIS AGREEMENT.
1.) The term “sound” or “sounds” when used in this document, refers to any sound, sample or file, in any format or configuration, that originates from the Soundation Sound Shop or Sound database.
2.) All sounds in Soundation Studio and the Soundation Sound Shop remain property of Soundation and it`s parent company PowerFX Systems AB (the licensor), and all purchased sounds are licensed, not sold to the registered user (the licensee). All rights not expressly granted to the registered user are reserved by PowerFX Systems AB.
3.) The Soundation Sound Shop licensee (buyer) is granted a single user license, meaning only the registered user can use the sounds or services. This license is NOT transferable. The registered user may modify the sounds for use in commercial productions, musical compositions, soundtracks etc. in accordance with this agreement.
4.) The purchaser agrees to use the sounds in his/her media productions only, there are no restrictions on the licensee´s usage other than to not give the individual sound files away to a sound database, peer to peer network, file network or on any form of media such as CD-ROM, CDA, DVD, DVD-R, any form of magnetic or optical storage media, or in any way deemed inappropriate by PowerFX Systems in accordance with this agreement and international law.

2. To upload the individual sounds to a sound database to be used by others
3. Any sound file CD/database or multimedia sound library.
4. Any multimedia or game product DVD/CD or web game that includes isloated sounds from PowerFX.
Standard fare licensing agreement there. In plain english it says you can use the sounds to create your songs, but you can't post the sounds by themselves... i.e. this song is fair game as long as the op actually wrote it. Were he to post the individual notes, i.e. the actual sound samples used to produce the song, not fair game.
Here's the deal with copyrights and patents, they're actually intended to -=encourage=- innovation, but the system has become warped... in the old days before patents, if you invented something, you kept it under lock and key... because as soon as somebody did figure out how to copy it, they could exploit it and you'd get nothing... all your hard work and EvilCorp makes the same product, markets the hell out of it and puts you out of business.... (This still happens, ask the REAL author of Candy Crush Saga what King Media did to him). Patents let you invent something, put it out in the world, and get a piece of the action when somebody down the line extends it... so you're encouraged by the system to invent and to release those inventions for others to play with. Unfortunately, it's been morphed into this destructive monster where a couple lawyers in Texas sue everybody they can get their grubby hands on into the ground for violating a patent that in most cases, they had nothing whatsoever to do with inventing.
I'm with ya brother! That's how I see it too.
It should also be shortened from 70 years down to like 5-10. Imagine the innovation that's lost because we have to wait 70 years and can't build on previous knowledge.
Thanks for sharing :)
I am so happy to see this in other people's productions! Hell yeah!
I want to use this!
Please do, License is cc0. Use for whatever the hell you want, any of my other tracks too.
I am!
It fits perfectly for a cable car scene I'm making, I also really like that it sounds kinda like the Spyro games. I'll check out your other songs too.
