As you know, one of the other sites we work on here is FlashDen, and recently we’ve been very hard at work expanding FlashDen to have a dedicated Audio sister-site. So it’s with great pleasure that I can finally say that AudioJungle is now online!
Dedicated Marketplace for Music Loops and Sound Effects
In a nutshell, the new site is FlashDen but for audio. But with the new site we can now really push the brand and market to get it known—where before, let’s face it, who goes to a flash site for music? :-)
I’m also quite proud of the design that I did for the site, so go check that out even if you’re not into audio! And while you are there, make sure you check out the neat little blog design for In the Jungle—the Audio Blog—that I spent half my weekend doing!
Something a Little Closer to Home
Now I know that audio isn’t really what Psdtuts+ is about, but I can tell you we have a few more sites that we plan to launch very soon.
On the tutorials side of things, Sean and I are hard at work on VECTORTUTS which will be … you guessed it, tutorials about vector illustration and technique. And Skellie (our FreelanceSwitch editor) is working on AUDIOTUTS, which will roll out shortly afterwards.
And if that wasn’t enough, with AudioJungle out, our dev team is now working hard on both adding more features and the next project. Although I can’t say what that is going to be publicly, I can say, it will be *much* more interesting to the Psdtuts+ audience!
And Some Psdtuts+ Announcements
What? That’s not enough? No problem!
We also have the Psdtuts+ Wiki all skinned and ready for launch this week. I’m still trying to figure out how to coordinate the small matter of erm adding content to it. But I’m sure that’s easy.
One of our readers, Gavin Steele, has been putting together videos of some of our tutorials. And we’re going to be opening up a Psdtuts+ Video pool—similar to the Flickr one. This will mean readers and contributors can upload and share Photoshop-related videos and we’ll highlight the best ones here on the site!
We’ve also hired the super-talented Valerie Robinson of Robinson Communications to start copy-editing our posts and getting everything looking a little more tip-top. This is great news, especially for me, because my writing is littered with grammatical dubiousness!
Last week we upgraded the WordPress install here to 2.5, which isn’t very exciting, except it means now we have tagging available. So we’re going to go through and tag every tutorial with a degree of difficulty. That means you’ll soon be able to browse by level as well as category.
And there’s lots more stuff hidden in my to-do lists that I’ve forgotten, like translations, working with other blogs, and more. All in all, it’s very busy over here at HQ!!
And if you have a moment …
Finally if you have a moment, with AudioJungle going up, I thought I would submit it to some social media sites to make traffic :-) So if you have a moment, and like the site, I’d really appreciate a vote!

great to hear Collis. you guys work so hard on this site and its all worth it!
thanks!!
Awesome – headed over to the social media sites now!
Oh man, can’t wait for the launch of AudioTuts! That’s gonna be cool! :)
I am so excited for vectortuts and the PSDtuts videos sound really cool. Congrats on getting up AudioJungle, I know you’ve been working on that one for a while.
It’s always good to hear from you Collis. I know all your projects will do well you guys work hard to do everything in excellence and it shows.
good job guys
Awesome! I’m really excited about the VectorTuts site! The audio site is cool too! I actually considered purchasing a synth a while back because it’s so hard to find decent loops and sound effects, not to mention songs.
VectorTuts sounds interesting – looking forward to it.
Congrats on the new branches of the little “enterprise” you have going. Best of luck and I’m sure growth will be phenomenal with your kind of following.
Very nice work collis, I love the design.
Good luck with your projects!
That’s a slew of projects. Good luck with them!
Stop! Stop! Stop! A part of internet its mine too!
Great news out there ! I wish you a great success !
More success to Eden! Ive already showcased this site to cssbuilt.com. Thanks a lot Collis. :)
Yiur site was down some time or was it my crappie connection in the hospital?
Congrats with the new babies! All you need now is a videotuts and indesigntuts, and I guess then you cover the whole CS3 spectrum.
But for the next ‘tut’ sites, isn’t a better aproach to first contact some writers and get in some tutorials, and then kick-off the site? ‘Cause I was a little disapointed to see how few tutorials get posted on the nettuts site.
What awesome news, I look forward to it all
Very nice and promising launches! I’m really excited about the upcoming audiotuts! Nice work guys…
Good news!

TUTS WILL CONQUIER THE WORLD
Congratulations Collis and to all Eden team. You guys re changing the internet ;)
These are very great news Collis. The Eden family will grow so big. I can’t wait.

Sweet! I really look forward to seeing the new sites – especially audiotuts.
very nice
doing work in the streets.
[sharing fantastic design skills.]
Mmmmm tasty music treats, my favorite!
I do not get it about AudioJungle. 4$ for a 10 sec clip… I can buy a whole MP3 for 0.99$ More they are plenty of website that have audio clip for free…
WOW you guys are going all out even hiring a copy-editor!!….that is great!!..keep up the good work!! :o)
Uh oh time to make some phat beats! (as the RA kids from Full Sail would say)
I’m looking forward to Vectortuts and Audiotuts. I know some stuff about both, but my Illustrator skills aren’t very good. I know a good amount of stuff about Acid, Fruity Loops and Sound Forge but I haven’t used any audio programs in almost a year. So I’m sure I forgot a bunch of stuff.
Audiotuts sounds brilliant – I’d totally be interested in writing tutorials for that.
Always great work from you. The design looks great. What font type do you use for the text in the big box on the home page of Audio Jungle and Flash Den?
This is all so exiting! I can’t wait.
VECTORTUTS. Finally something i can sink my teeth into…..
Tha’ts exciting news Collis. Good Luck!!
GREAT AWSOME STUFF! cant wait for some more quality tuts sites GOOD LUCK! :D
I dugg it, congrats on the new launch!! The network is growing nicely!!
The video content sounds great – really looking forward to that.
All your hard work is very much appreciated Collis. :)

Audio Jungle – Great site. I have uploaded a few things already > http://audiojungle.net/user/ThinkingDiesel/portfolio – great resource to upload audio files that would either just be gathering digital dust!
