A Web-based Sequencer?

Posted In: Career Building, For Educators, Recording, Reviews, Uncategorized by claybutlermusic

I was searching around the ‘net today for cool tools, and I found something that I never would have thought of, a web-based sequencer. That’s exactly what I found in Soundation Studio. The interface itself looks remarkably like a cross between GarageBand and Fruity Loops. While it’s not quite as feature rich as those programs, it does boast a library of over 400 loops, three synthesizers, a drum machine, and 11 real-time effects. Best of all, it’s completely free!

Users can mix loops and utilize track automation. Once the mix is complete, simply bounce it down to a wave file. One interesting feature is the ability to host your creations as an mp3 file online and direct your friends to a specific URL. Also, you can embed your audio in much the same way you do with YouTube videos.

As a creation tool, Soundation Studio opens up worlds of opportunities. Not only does it present musicians with a place to create from anywhere in the world, any time the muse strikes, but it’s also a great introduction to the world of sequencing and loops. Soundation Studio could be used in the home or in the classroom.

Check it out. Let us know your thoughts. How could you use Soundation Studio?
