Want to compose your own song? What about trying your hand at remixing other’s songs?
If you answered yes to either of the above questions Splice is the solution.
If you’ve ever used a program like Apple’s GarageBand (comes stock on a Mac), then you’ll have some idea of what you’re looking at with Splice. The only difference is that Splice is completely and 100% online, as opposed to programs like GarageBand or Acid, that are software programs.
All the samples come from the freesound project, which is a hugely useful site if you need some sound clips. You can also add your own sounds to the library, and if the spirit moves you, add sounds to your “soundcase” which bookmarks samples for later use.
The site is really easy to use. By really easy to use, I mean if you simply read a few directions (or even watch a short tutorial video), you can start making music in under 5 minutes.
You can even add your own virtual instrument to Splice, which requires you to have some sort of MIDI hook-up, which makes Splice even more robust as an audio workstation.
Once you’re done, letting the world hear your music is simply a click away.
Surely it’s not ProTools or Cubase, but if you want to try you hand at making music without having to sacrifice anything but time, then this is for you.
