For those looking to create their own music using already available samples and a capellas, ccMixter is great. It’s easy to use and simple to listen to what’s already available on the site. It’s also a great community of other like-minded individuals who can influence each other with different musical samplings. And ccMixter does a great job of displaying how one can truly mix successfully by featuring those artists who have used the site to their advantage. One thing to note, however, is how the website sometimes timed out when trying to load different tabs, especially when it came to opening the sample and a cappella ones.

Can ccMixter work out its bugs so that pages upload fast and effectively? Can a place be included on the site which would allow users to sell their remixes? Is ccMixter used more by those who download others’ tracks or by those who create them?
