Splice - Online acid style loop based music creation
Splice is interesting. It's an online loop based music website. It integrates an active user community, and it seems to be built around creative commons licenses. (as is this site). You can read their take on Creative Commons here
You can remix anyone's song and put your sound on it. You can upload samples and share them with the community as a whole. Web 2.0 user generated content lovelyness (without the cliché reflection added to the site logo). Splice seems to reside somewhere between music toy, and community based interaction, and I love the concept.
I have to point out that it seems to be a dysfunctional (of only on this particular machine) on Mac (Safari 2.0.4) and doesn't seem to work properly. Any mac users who would like to concur or disagree, I would love to hear from you via the comments. Maybe this issue is to do with growing pains, as I understand that it is growing at a rate of knots everyday. Maybe it's just the Mac I'm using?
My home PC plays with it nicely, and I am keen to spend a little time fiddling with this on the upcoming weekend.
Visit Splice Music and give it a go today! Thanks (again) to Roger @ XLR8 for the tip!
Related: You can also download samples from the freesound project, which are also licensed under the creative commons. Which you can use for your Splice Music compositions, or indeedy, any music software.
Related: I briefly mentioned Rockstar games' Beaterator.
