I like the interview and this made me thinking ’...drink coffee and work more…’! This is interesting because seems like everyone is doing the same thing these days. We are the coffee generation Drink coffee to work more and work more to buy coffee…

I even have a “Donate a cup of coffee” button on my website!

Lol made my day…

I don’t subscribe to some authors’ point of view here and don’t get why they make big issues out of such trivial things. You might think that some sound effects or other ‘low quality’ items are totally unnecessary but they count as an equal hit to audiojungle through google.

Everyday more and more people are introduced to the world of envato through those items that you would normally underestimate. And perhaps they are also introduced to your wonderful music through those little sounds. So we should be thankful to everyone contributing to this marketplace in some way or another. Personally, i found out about audiojungle by chance while i was looking for some tutorial on a sound effect and was immediately amazed by the wonderful music and opportunities on here and wanted to be a part of it.

In fact, that front page issue is nothing to me. I believe if your music is good, everything and everybody on this marketplace will work in favor of you at the end of the day and you’ll be the winner. There are always people who are willing to search, find and buy good stuff for less.

Tim McMorris – “Successful Business Venture” from AudioJungle: http://audiojungle.net/item/successful-business-venture/154097

similar track: Coldplay – “Clocks” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbI1FpLd4Vk

Pay attention to the main melody… Similar drums, but to change the temp. And again, it is obvious not commercial claps or the Hawaiian guitar… But undoubtedly, Coldplay has inspired you, Tim. Now your reaction is clear to me.

Thanks for your examples. To be continued…

Ha ha ha, this one was definitely hilarious

@Ane_Novak

I’m totally with you my friend and i could show you some other tracks that are so ‘similar’ that someone needs to have a trained ear to separate from the original And guess what they’re selling quite nicely and everyone is happy.

Just don’t worry about it too much and join the crowd… Honestly, I’m not against similarity and i could use some riffs similar to familiar tracks but at least i would try to compose it in a different context.

I know it gets on your nerves when you work hard to bring together a composition while others just ‘photocopy’ another song and sell quite nicely.

My advise to you is, close this thread and don’t spend too much time on being original in your music. Join the crowd and produce similar tracks and sell them and make money, then everyone will appreciate your works!

But if you choose to continue exposing them, many people will get pissed off

Sounds nice but there is a big concern.

What’s going to happen is, people will come and say that they want to use a song they found on trax for a commercial project. If you say it’s not possible, they won’t be very happy about it and some of them might still use those tracks commercially.

However, if you allow the same track to be available on both of the marketplaces then it would be tempting for the buyers to cheat because nobody will ever figure out whether they bought a commercial license or personal license.

This comes down to the inability of the authors on audiojungle to track down the commercial buyers. Ideally, authors should have the knowledge of in which commercial project that their song is being used. When you have this information, you can comfortably offer a personal license as well.

This looks like the ultimate solution to me if audijungle and trax will operate shoulder to shoulder as two successful marketplaces in future. Get commercial buyers to register their projects when buying a commercial license. This will help track down the extended license use as well.

Peace

Hi aerendyl,

I might not be able to give the best musical advice to you but the best advice i can give you is when you really start writing music, no memory will be enough for you to load all the instruments into a single interface, no hard disk will be enough to keep those gigabytes of instrument libraries and you’ll want to invest lots of money into those libraries. So get ready for it.

Other than that, the best place to learn using a software is youtube i think. Watch tutorials on there and it will be more than enough.

If you want to write music you need to have a good ear for music, you need to play at least one instrument and you need to know how other instruments work even though you don’t actually play them. For instance, if you’ve never been on a drum set, how would you know how hi-hat or kick drum would work in a drumline?

Same thing applies for any instrument. So, my second advice is start getting to know how each instrument work. At least, watch videos on youtube as if you are trying to learn playing that instrument.

I might not be a virtuoso in any instrument but at least i can play a few things on a few instruments and it really helps when you’re writing music for those instruments.

@SimpleProductions Thanks for clarifying. I just didn’t want you to get lynched by the FL Studio producers here, just trying to protect you. They’re a mean old bunch. Uh-oh, now I’M going to get lynched!

OK i guess we hate the word ‘loop’ around here let’s just ban the word and make everyone happy I also use FL Studio and almost never use a loop in my music..

But for the sake of the argument, i still want to learn if we can use a drum loop without adding cymbals here and there?

Or is there a list of those ‘overly used’ loops so that we can avoid using them?

And do you feel lynched enough now or should i go on with more questions?

well i hope this thread will help our voice to be heard, and marketplace improved the way i think is good !

Above, you want administrators to do something about it and make those files categorized elsewhere or totally rejected so that certain files could stand out, right?

All i want to say is this would be unfair if there isn’t any copyright issue.

And buyers already know that they might hear the same exact music – let alone just the drum loop- even more than a hundred other places. This is a stock music site.

Just my two cents…
