The catalog includes 1,000 tracks: 500 original compositions and 500 loops and edits. It covers a wide variety of styles for professional and creative applications.

The catalog is organized into the following main categories:

• Pop
• Electronic
• Cinematic
• Ambient
• Audio logos
• World music
• Solo piano
• Children's
• Classical
• Holiday
• Jazz

Each category includes multiple sub-genres, moods, tempos, and energy levels to help you find the right track quickly.

Loops are short, seamlessly repeating musical segments designed for continuous playback, ideal for apps, UI audio, on-hold music, or background layers. Edits are alternate versions of original tracks (shorter cuts, instrumental versions, different intros, etc.). Both are fully licensed and production-ready as standalone pieces.

If this happens, simply file a dispute and present your Ostinat license as proof of authorized use. The claim will be dropped.
