Mix your own Tunes: Soundation and Aviary
June 28, 2010 4:39 PM   Subscribe

Ever wanted to mix your own tunes? Soundation Studio is "a powerful online sequencer with 11 real time effects, 3 synthesizers, a drum machine and a fully integrated Sound Shop." Want more? "Use Aviary's music creator to simulate dozens of musical instruments including piano, guitars and drums. Create music loops and patterns for use in Aviary's audio editor (Myna) or as ring tones."

I was going to roll my eyes at this post, but then I saw it was all _in browser_. Very nice.

Sonofa....I'll cross "online sequencer/recording suite" off my list of get rich slowly schemes. They even had the audacity (pun intended) to take my idea and do it well.

Sweet! I love these things Audiotool is a fun browser-based one as well but fuck if I can figure out how to use their synth.

This is pretty great except for when I played with it for 10 minutes and realized my song sounds horrendous. Sigh.

Just when I started to get over my Sculptris addiction. Thanks a lot.

No really. Thanks.

And I'll mention, once again, two of my favorite iTouch apps: Bebot and Mixtikl.

All I need is some dude to growl about anger and whatnot for me and I can have a NIN b-side ready pretty quick.

Seriously, Soundation's pretty cool.

Neat proof of concept, but too limited to make actual music. However, it did make me think a bit more on Google's idea that the browser and operating system will one day be indistinguishable.

However, maybe there's a niche for this kind of thing: you may not care enough about making music to learn Pro Tools and how to tweak an EQ and etc. etc., but you might care enough to play around with something like this.

This is pretty limited compared to audio tool, tbh, though the interface is better.

agreed.....nice interface .

Pretty cool - here's mine. I think I may have gone overboard on the effects!

Here's mine.

I got bored and gave up at the end. Also, too bad the site encodes the track at a bitrate worse than myspace.
