JamStudio.com – The online music factory

Here is an online music composing tool which can be used even by the layman to create some real good music. This online music tool takes a longer time to grasp. But a little tweaking and playing around with all the controls will enable the user to create some serious music. With no prior music knowledge required!

The screen is divided into four parts, a navigation bar to the left, a note editor on the top, a guitar on the right and an instruments list at the bottom. The instruments list offers an impressive collection of loops under each category which can be simply clicked on in order to add the loop to the song we are ‘composing’. The volume of each individual instrument loop can be controlled by just clicking and dragging the levels adjacent to the instruments.

The chords can be added by either clicking on the ‘Quick Chords’ tab near the note editor or by clicking on the guitar riff, again both very easy and demanding no prior knowledge of music or chords.

Though clicking on most of the features give a ‘Coming Soon’ message, they are promising, like contests, videos etc.

Pros:

1) No prior knowledge of music required.

2) Easy to compose by clicking.

Cons:

1) Play button kept too low that frequent scrolling is required to edit and preview the song; this gets irritating at one point.

Final Verdict :

The final word is that this is an interesting tool for the layman to create some serious music. The features promised soon make it an interesting tool to keep a check on.
