Another music mixer site is www.Jamglue.com. This site looks to be completely free, has a lot of riffs and tracks to use, and students could upload their own tracks. Full Sail University uses this site for advertisement, too, so it must be good!
The tutorial is very user friendly. As soon as the first mixing page opens, a guided tutorial starts. It's good because it instructs learners to stop and restart the tutorial in order for the learner to do what was being demonstrated or explained. I was successfully creating tracks through the tutorial, and that usually requires a Digital Native to help me navigate through the jargon! The site is also intuitive; but, with the tutorial, the stress is completely managed to easy use. I like the array of sounds available for use and that users can add to the library.
I don't see the collaborative use just like Indabamusic.com, but tracks can be created, shared and used by others.
I think this could be a useful tool as a first step into the world of creating music online. Then, for the more savvy users, Indabamusic could be their next step.
Deb,
ReplyDeleteThis site looks like a great substitute for PC users who don't have access to GarageBand. I look forward to using this with my students to help them jazz up their presentations for science. I am sure that the music instructor would also like to use this site. I really like the tutorial and how it stops and starts to allow for students to try what the tutorial is demonstrating (I never thought to do that in my own tutorial creations).
Nice Work!

Liked this site, too! Anything that adds pizzaz is a good thing! I agree with the comment by Robyn that it looks like a great substitute for those who can't access Garage Band. I like anything that supports my love of music but lack of technical skill. Good find. Thanks. Christena Soutwhick
