If you haven’t heard of Aviary – you need to check out this crazy collection of online creative tools. There are all kinds of image editing/creation tools – but I want to focus on the music tools. Roc is an interesting tool that can be used to make music without any instruments. Basically, you get a pallet that lets you click what instruments you want to play what note when and Roc puts the rest together for you.
While bands probably won’t use this to replace instruments, it could end up being a great tool for creating quick demos and sketches of song ideas or song parts. It is cheap (free) and quick to put stuff together and share. Here is something I threw together:
The sharing part is also interesting – bands could use it to give fans previews of stuff they are working on, or even to let fans vote on different things they like. It is pretty easy to embed your creations on websites, as you can see above.
Of course, if you do want to mix songs or record your voice or instruments, there is also Myna – the free audio editor.
