    I've composed 202 songs and sound effects and released them under the CC BY 4.0 license which you can use in any personal and commercial project and they're all free!

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 04:08 AM PDT

    How to download the songs?

    You can download all of them in one RAR & ZIP file by following this Bandcamp link.

    Is this album updated regularly?

    Yes! Whenever I add a new song or sound effect to the library, I announce it on my Twitter. I also have a YouTube channel where I upload the songs to. I would suggest checking the tweets/videos or the album page regularly if you're in need of new music frequently.

    What's the total size of the library and in which format do they come in?

    Total file size varies in format. You can download the songs in MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, ALAC, WAV and AIFF formats.

    How can I support this project?

    I'm planning to expand this library's content as much as possible, and doing so takes a great amount of time, and calls for new virtual instruments and tools to create songs in rich and different sound. My current goal is to keep adding more songs in different genres into this library as well as creating environmental sound effects in high quality. Also Bandcamp limits the quantity of free downloads so I need to buy more "free download credits" to make the album even more accessible. More information about the subject can be found ​here. Due to these reasons, I created a Patreon page if you'd like to support this project. I'm using the donations I'm getting through Patreon to buy new virtual instruments at the moment. By becoming a Patron, you'll get access to the loop files, bonus and alternative songs and sound effects that are not included in the public library hosted on Bandcamp.

    Can I listen to these songs on Spotify?

    Yes! Uploading the songs to Spotify takes longer than uploading them to Bandcamp so not all of the songs are available on Spotify yet, but you can listen to some of them by following this Spotify link.

    What about the license? (CC BY 4.0)

    You can use any song in this library in anyway you want, be it as a sound effect in your game or as a background music in one of your Youtube & Twitch videos, even commercially. If you'd like to find more information about the license, please check this creativecommons.org link. Providing an appropriate credit (Either Composed by onemansymphony.bandcamp.com or patreon.com/onemansymphony) is required.

    How should I credit you?

    You can provide a link to one of the websites above in your project's description section (Youtube, Vimeo, etc). If you're planning to use them in a movie, you can provide one of the links in the rolling credit section.

    Are these songs loopable?

    Almost every single song in the album (with a few exceptions here and there) is loopable. While producing these songs, I always paid extra attention to make them as loopable as possible since some users would like to break a song into seperate pieces and just want to use that specific section of the song in their projects, and some people might like to extend a specific part of the song for adaptive sound design purposes. I am very well aware of that modern video games call for an application of adaptive sound design. A song which is made of different sections should be easily loopable & cuttable and any section of the song should be easily extandable. And whenever a transition occurs, it should sound as smooth as possible. These were the things that I kept in my mind while composing these pieces. If you'd like to create your own loop files out of these songs, you can use a free software such as Audacity to do so and refer to its manual to learn more about how looping is done. If you don't want to spend your time with the process of looping, you can subscribe to my $1 tier on Patreon where you can get access to the loop files of the songs in the library.

    Will you make different/alternative versions of the songs?

    I already did this with some songs such as Uncharted Planet and After The Disaster, and I keep planning to do so. I think it's important to be able to evoke different emotions by using different variations of a main theme. Having and using alternative tracks also help with maintaining the musical integrity of the main medium/emotion.

    What DAW do you use to compose these songs?

    Mostly FL Studio.

    If I suggested a theme, would you compose something that in theme?

    I'm definitely open to new ideas! I can't make any promises on if I will definitely compose something in that theme/mood/genre and how long completing it would take, but please feel free to make suggestions if you think there is a lack of resources in a genre/mood/theme/etc.

    Why do you do this?

    A few years ago I was creating my own scenes in a game engine and Blender 3D. Sometimes, needed some tracks to test the scenes to see how things were getting together. I realized that even though it was relatively easy to find tracks that sound 8-bit, it was pretty difficult to find high quality and various tracks in other genres such as ambient and BGM. So instead of waiting for someone to create such album, I did it myself. (I've been writing music since I was a kid so I thought why not record and share them with people who might be in need of them just like I was.)

    Do you do commissions?

    I do and I offer very reasonable prices. You can contact me on Twitter if you have an idea and would like to discuss it with me.

    Feel free to ask if you guys have any questions.

    Google Play Console - Rant

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 06:54 AM PDT

    Part of my job is mobile development where I write and support both Android and iOS. I'm going on my 8th year of this and I just have to say the Google Play Console is just a complete dumpster fire with each and every update they release.

    Example, just this morning I publishing a new release and it's rejected as I selected the wrong permission disclosure. I honestly picked the one that I thought best matched completely missing one in the middle that exactly match. Sure, my fault.

    But I couldn't just update the the disclosure and resubmit. If you can, I couldn't find it.

    I had to build a new release, go in, create a new release that requires a "What this update includes text" all the while the Google Play Console has a constant popup at the top about my app has been rejected and I need to review the disclosure documentation....which in an of it's self is not very descriptive.

    iOS has its issues when creating a release but it at least seems more streamlines do step A, B, C.

    The Google Play Console just seems to be a whole bunch of ideas and dependencies smashed together in no particular order.

    If someone asked me to describe spaghetti code in UI design this would be my go to example.

    Update: So after updating the core functionality reason permissions Google rejected the app again saying they could not confirm functionality. The app is a safety app that allows our employees to stay in contact with management so for the normal user only has three views.

    First Responders Build Map Settings

    In the instructions page I told them what to do to verify functionality, it's literally a single click. They responded they were unable to verify this. I literal monkey could verify this with two bananas in their hands. The Android team said I need to submit a video demonstrating functionality and how to test before they will review again.

    The Apple review team didn't need to be hand fed like a child. So now I have to build a completely new third build and post a video because they can't even do the bare minimum.

    The issue? Under first responders you can tap on email/phone call/text which launches and intent that loads the users default communication application. I'm not even the one sending the SMS or Email or call. All because Google couldn't define proper permissions with a grain of foresight or thought a few years ago and gave anyone wanting to send an SMS through an intent full permissions to the users contact list as well as the ability to read SMS.

    Google Play Services - Under the hood [Human Narration]

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 07:50 AM PDT

    What is usually the reason for your amount of daily installs on Google Play suddenly crashing a lot after being so consistent? Can changing the app category do this?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 03:37 AM PDT

    I noticed this with my app recently, the only reason I can think is that I changed the category for my app, could that be it?

    Interested to generally hear what the usual reasons are for big sudden drops in installs.

    Thanks

    How to blur part of a view?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 06:53 AM PDT

    Does any one know of an api or a clever way to blur just part of an image. I don't want to blur the whole image. Wherever the user clicks on the image I want to blur that part of image where use clicked. Anyone have any ideas on how should I go about it?

    How to use an Android View in Jetpack Compose

    Internal Testing Sans 7 day wait for approval.

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 06:12 AM PDT

    Internal Testing Sans 7 day wait for approval.

    I am working on my first cross-platform app with RN and I've been uploading test builds for iOS users in my team for over a week but I'm still stuck trying to get a test build release out for Android users (only one Android user on the team too).

    Is there an internal release track that doesn't require an app review by Google?

    If the answer to that is 'no', why? Is this a security thing? And how is an internal release a possible threat to Google Play users? (apart from your colleagues whom you obviously despise 😈)

    ​

    Is there a 'publish' button somewhere else?

    I also couldn't use internal app sharing even after I'd been assigned full user privileges.

    After filling out all the forms and uploading the app bundle, the release status became \"Full roll-out\" but the testers on the email list didn't get invited and there is no link to share.

    I also don't know what this means since we are not doing an actual release. I just need the APK on internal android devices.

    How much UX design should an Android developer know?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2020 12:15 AM PDT

    I'm fairly new to Android development and suck at design. I am wondering if ux design is a fundamental part as an Android developer.

    What do Android developers think of this?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 03:48 PM PDT

    https://twitter.com/durov/status/1294327383470874628

    This was a tweet recently put out by Telegram's CEO. With many gaming apps being pulled from the App Store and more people getting furious with Apple, Android seems like a great place as a developer.

    I am curious to know what you guys think as developers? I am mostly a web dev and focus on UI design so I really want to hear from Android developers and startups on what they think of this.

    Thanks for those who give a response! :)
