The web applications in the music field are truly amazing and fun for the possibilities they give to those who want to try their hand as a musician without having never studied the technique and how to write music.
Especially with electronic music the software on the PCs work very well and are able to create, in a relatively simple way, compositions where repeated bass and melodies with particular sounds dominate.
We have seen several examples: free programs to make the same music as professional DJs, sites for mixing music online and DJing on the internet and web applications that allow you to play drums with the PC keyboard.
In this post we therefore report Flash web applications that can reproduce an almost true music studio and that allow you to create electronic music online.
I state that I am not an expert in this type of instrument so my explanation cannot remain too precise but the important thing is to emphasize the power of these editors composed of electronic consoles that simulate exactly the real ones.
1) By opening the Audio Tool website (ex Hobnox) an interface is immediately shown with different mixers linked together by connectors designed as real cables.
In the pre-configured consoles it is possible to immediately understand what can be built and, at the bottom there are all the tools that can be used by the music maker.
In fact, it is almost a professional studio that also requires some manual skill and experience, not only to correctly set the various mixers and audio levers for each sound frequency, but also to connect the various pieces with virtual cables.
It is therefore a matter of having a sort of Roland synthesizer and a small online studio where you can also record the music created.
One of the widgets inserted is the ToneMatrix sound synthesizer that you can try individually to have fun with electronic sounds.
2) Tony-b Machine instead is an online synthesizer dedicated purely to techno and commercial disco music, the fast one, the typical one of the wildest clubs.
Beautiful the design of the graphics from which it is understood that the purpose of the program is not to offer something serious but an instrument with which to have fun and play with electronic sounds.
Dance music will have a lot of energy and the use of online software is quite simple and understandable.
The compositions can then be saved and shared with the other DJs on the site.
3) The best of the web applications for creating music is certainly Jam Studio which is discussed in another post, not only to obtain electronic rhythms but to compose a real instrumental song made of classical instruments.
4) The Roland TR-808 synthesizer, used by the most famous electronic music artists, has been recreated in a virtual Drum Machine on the html5drummachine.com website
The HTML5 version of the instrument allows you to combine sounds and percussion with the ability to adjust the volume and tone of each of them.
5) Other sites for playing online are in another article.
6) From Aviary there is Music Creator, online multitrack to produce music on the internet.
7) On the site from which we had extracted the melodic synthesizer with hypnotic sounds, there is also the Roland TR-909 Mixer which was very used to create techno and house music in the 90s.
Also on this mixer, you have to have a certain eye for electronic audio instruments because, although it is a demonstration program only, the many levers to turn and the buttons to press may not be easy for beginners to understand.
8) Websites for playing mixed music via the internet such as LoopLabs, where there is a really easy to use multitrack that allows you to create house music by adding and mixing sounds and electronic tracks.
Much more serious than the Tony-B Machine, the DubStep Studio (formerly Electro-House Blender) lends itself very well to making that type of music to dance and listen to during beach aperitifs.
Not therefore with too hard sounds with a straight and fast speaker but a slightly softer and more elaborate house.
The tool is used in a simple way, once started with the start, you can see a video tutorial or start immediately by clicking on the "Click To Mix" button.
On the right is the Add Sounds item to browse and preview all the musical sounds that can be used and added in the multitrack in the center of the page.
Simple to use as a technique but, as for any musical composition, creating decent and listenable music is difficult even if you write alone.
9) Beautiful are the mixers of ambient sounds that stimulate sleep and create restful atmospheres.
In looking for ambient sounds I also came across some programs and sites with relaxing sound effects .
10) The Google logo with the interactive Moog electronic music synthesizer is perhaps one of the web's most notable masterpieces as it is simple and fun to play.
The fact remains that, given the evolution of instruments, once very expensive, and now available to all, experienced composers will have to put all their imagination into creating original music and that it does not seem all the same.
