About Quest Harmonics

Quest Harmonics is a resource for purchasing original music for media projects, including video games, movies, blogs, trailers, and streaming videos. Every track is composed with love and care- with very specific functionality and influence catered to a variety of creative needs. Action, adventure, ambience, rock and blues genres are just some of the styles you'll find available.

Each piece is composed exclusively for Quest Harmonics and not available anywhere else. They are hand mixed, mastered, and exported to high quality files suitable for professional projects.

Whether you're creating your first video game with next to no budget, or needing a background tune for your YouTube channel pulling in thousands of subscribers, Quest Harmonics has your needs covered.

You are agreeing to a license agreement when you purchase the tracks. The basics of the agreement are:

• Pay once at checkout to use the purchased tracks for all future projects; you never have to pay royalties.
• The license won't expire so there is no timeframe for using the tracks you have purchased.
• You are paying for a license to use the tracks in your project, not legal ownership of the tracks.
• You can include the tracks in your project that you are selling for profit, but they must be a supplementary part of the product you are selling. This means you cannot resell these tracks outright and you may not sell an audio collection with them such as a game/movie soundtrack.
• You don't have to give credit to Quest Harmonics or the composer in your project, but you cannot claim credit for the tracks either.

About the Files

Tracks with the icon loop seamlessly from the ending of the track back to the beginning. They are ideal for background music that can play infinitely without any breaks or pauses. For this reason, the website media player plays the track twice to give the listener a chance to hear the full loop in action. The actual download files only play once through and require the user to loop the track in their game engine or respective media software. Be aware that media players such as Windows Media Player or iTunes will have a short hiccup at the end -> beginning loop when playing on repeat because they are not designed to loop seamlessly. Your game engine, however, should have no issues with this.

Quest Harmonics offers MP3, WAV, and OGG files. The MP3 files are ideal for when smaller file sizes are necessary or to preview the tracks. However, because of their encoding they cannot be looped seamlessly without hearing an audible hiccup at the loop seam. The WAV files are the highest quality files offered and loop seamlessly, but take up considerably more hard disk space. OGG files are a compressed format that are popular for video game engines and loop seamlessly.

File bitrates/frequency:

• .MP3: 128 kbits/second, 44100 Hz
• .WAV: 6144 kbits/second, 96000 Hz
• .OGG: Variable 246-415 kbits/second depending on track, 44100 Hz
