Make it Yours, Share, Listen, and Create

Accessing music websites is easy. I found many websites that make it fun and simple for one to access music, make music, and share their music all for free. Some websites even organized the music people made into categories that are labeled based on the mood that they set. This proved to be cool, because when in a certain mood, a person could click the category that defines the mood they are in, or want to be in, and they have a list of songs just for them.

A website that I particularly enjoyed was Adiotool.com, which on the website Cool Tools for School, is called Hobnox. It has a blank square, representing a table, and to the right all the music making equipment, such as sound boards, loop pedals, etc. can be dragged onto the table for the users work. The creator of this site knew that not everybody knows how to use music making equipment, so he/she made and obvious link to more Youtube links, in which are tutorials on how to use the equipment. Also, if the user is a beginner, then there are basic beats available to start on top of.This website proved to be beginner friendly and that caught my approval, but I wanted to see if there was anything out there that was better.

UJAM was the next website I discovered. UJAM is unique because you can record your voice, upload a melody, rejam on a previous song you made, and share with all the other people who have made music on UJAM. On the main page is contains a tab titled Explore, and when clicked it opens a page to the other peoples creations on UJAM. The layout of the pages are simple and easy to understand. As far as editing and making music, UJAM is basic compared to Adiotool ,and may be a better starting place for ones Internet music making hobby.

Fleximusic, the next site I came across, is legitimate, but not free. They advertise the site as turning your computer into a music-making studio. It takes money and effort to get it all set up. In my mind this would be where to go once the previous free music making sites have been mastered. The most legitiment software is 40 dollars, and the kids software is cheaper. There are three kinds of Fleximusic that you can purchase. There is the adult complete Fleximusic editor, a junior editor and a kids editor.

If you are looking for a basic and quickly satisfying website, then Jamstudio.com is the place to go. The account is free, and in 30 seconds of being on the website a step by step intro shows exactly how to start making a song. There is a basic four measure music sheet and you click the chord that you want to play in each section of the measure, then below you chose what instruments you want to play and there is every instrument from piano to bass guitar, then you can chose the type of percussion you want to carry the beat . The last step is to press play and listen to your creation. I liked this site because I got instant results and it seemed like I knew what I was doing, because they let me know how right away.

In conclusion, these websites have already sparked my curiosity and I look forward to digging in deeper and learning from what I find. Audiotool definitely will take tutorials to get started, but would be a great place to get practice with music making equipment for free and in the comfort of my own home. With enough time and effort put into Audiotool, then the next step in a music making career would without a doubt be getting Fleximusic and taking things to the next level.
