“You play keyboards … like you’re a drummer!”

That’s what our drummer said to me one day at a band rehearsal in 1992, when he decided to wear headphones!

Playing live in a club, there’s a lot of loud stuff happening.  Drums banging, cymbals clanging, the bass thundering (through hopefully a great map like a Trace Eliot), and of course those rhythmic guitars!  But where does that leave the keyboards?

Well generally speaking a keyboard player has a lot of room to look for the holes in the sound, find his or her pocket … and play!

Influenced mostly by the rhythmic players such as Elton John, Burton Cummings and Billy Joel, I always took to stage a heavy set of hands that focused in on the complex rhythms fed by a drummer.  On that day in 1992, our drummer John discovered the ear candy he had been missing when he put on a set of headphones, and was able to hear a lot of the fine detail that normally only those in the audience got to hear (through of course the massive PA speakers).

The Royalty-Free Music Collection, Grand Piano Grooves, is a compilation of piano influenced rhythms.  You’ll also find that these tunes were tailor made for internet marketing audio, such as background music for your youtube videos, ebook intros, and instrumentals for podcasts and blog talk radio.

George Santayana (1863 1952), a Spanish philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist once said that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Throughout our lives, we have often been reminded to learn from our mistakes. Time and time again we see people around us making the same errors in judgment without learning from them.

The Big Birthday Bash launched on Saturday with an announcement that this year there is an expansion of the music licenses available for the royalty-free tunes and royalty-free sound effects.

Already revealed:

Personal Use Licenses - in addition to a standard end-user license, you may now be able to also request a sub-license for your business partner or freelance video developer.

With the Production Studio Expanded Use License, one sub-license can be requested (and then issued) to allow a second person to also download the music tracks or sound effects that you have paid for.

Cool huh?

New Licenses For Resale:

Reseller Standard <<<   a grab and go license for you to sell the pack “as is”

Reseller Expanded Use <<<   Some extra rights accompany this license, such as the ability to add the collection to your paid membership site, or use it as a bonus for your similarly priced product.

Private Label Expanded Use <<< With this license you can segment the collection into smaller bite-sized pieces, and you can mix and match music files and sound files from a variety of the packages that you download.  You can also re-title the collection.

Ownership <<< well it’s pretty much what it implies.  The masters can be purchased outright, and then the song (or collection) will be removed from the catalog.  And once you own the masters … you’ll have plenty of freedom to give them away, or come up with your own licensing - even MRR.  ONLY ONE of these ownership licenses will be sold.  (So yes you can expect that it comes with a hefty price tag.)

Where can you get the new stuff?

The latest sound effects collection now has a variety of licenses to choose from.  Here are the details and samples

New Licensing is available right here and a comparison grid can be downloaded.

Super-duper thick and luscious orchestral sound effects now available!

Like in past years, the BIG BIRTHDAY BASH is that “once in a year” time where you’ll see a week long event featuring all new products: new royalty-free music, new, sound effects, stingers, videos, and a whole lot of other goodies - including ALL NEW LICENSING!

Until now, there have been two licenses available, which are a personal use music license, and a resale license.  But over the next 7 days, 6 brand new music licenses will be revealed.

Kicking off THE BIG BIRTHDAY BASH is the very first ever collection of ORCHESTRAL SOUND EFFECTS.

This collection of royalty-free sound effects features “ALL ORCHESTRAL” sounds.  Thick and dripping wet, these effects will put both the class and the punch into your professional videos and any online audio creation that you make. Here’s a few samples of what’s included:

These 30 premium sound effects are in stereo - 192-bit mp3 files. Here’s a quick list of some of the effects you’ll be downloading:

Distant Orchestra
Church Brass
Orchestra Shots
Player Noises
Castinets
Timpanis
Windy Orchestra
Synthetic Glass Chimes
Thick “Swells”
Gongs and other orchestral percussion

A total of 30 new orchestral effects

If you have seen the past sound effects collections, they range typically from $19 to $29.  This premium package will go into the catalog for $27 (and $47 for resale).

But I said it’s a celebration right?

Hey … it’s my birthday … and to celebrate … this will be a fast and furious dimesale-style collection, which starts at less than two bucks.

THE NEW LICENSES

Two licenses are available:  personal use which you have seen before.

And the BRAND NEW Production Studio Expanded Use License.

In a nutshell here’s a summary of the new production studio license:

If you OUTSOURCE your videos to a freelance video producer, then this is the perfect license for you.  With this license, your video guy (or gal) will be assigned a sub-license allowing you to send your files “legally” to them without any license violations.

Here’s why you gotta go quick:

The birthday event will only last for seven days, and there’s a lot of products that you’ll see for the first time.

So this sound effects package will go UP in price every hour until the next collection is released. (But we will “pause” at $17.99 for a quick breath of air.)

RUN!   Don’t walk!

See the price spinning upwards?

ORDER yours HERE

A note about resale licenses:

RR and other licenses will be available later in the event ONLY to those who have already picked up the pack.  So go quick!
