As you will all be aware from previous blogs, thanks to the internet, in order to create music, users no longer need to know how to play an instrument.

If they want to create something, they can use various online services and mashup "music loops" to create something unique. Soundation is one such website.

Soundation is an online free music mixing program that has many sound loops. The interface is divided into parts..

  • the left pane is for audio channels;
  • users can set the volume and choose to display them in the middle pane which is where music loops can be viewed;
  • the right pane is where the loops are located. users can click-n-drag them from there to the middle pane; and
  • the bottom pane is where the play, rewind, forward, and repeat buttons are located. This pane also tells you about the duration of your music;
    the last three buttons have the functions of...
    • downloading the created music,
    • popping up a virtual keyboard (the instrument), and
    • making the right pane appear / disappear.

The abundance of various sounds and the user friendly interface of Soundation make it accessible to all visitors.
