SpliceMusic.com - Hang the DJ, Mix Your Own Tunes

SpliceMusic could be tagged as a repository of stock music samples combined with all the functions of a social music making site. At Splice you play the DJ; collaborate with others, or make your own meister stuck. The site features a cool browser based sequencer where you can mix and match beats, drag and nudge sounds, duplicate notes and change the track speed. Once you’ve perfected your song you can publish it for the community to hear. If the Splice library hasn’t quite got the tones you need, upload your own. Join the site now and you’ll get a profile page, access to forums, comments, and ratings.

“Welcome to Splice. We would say welcome to the future of music, but modesty and serious self-restraint prevent us from it... either way it's nice you showed up. So what's the big deal? Splice gives anyone, anywhere the ability to collaborate on music right through a web browser. Users can upload or record sounds, make songs, listen to other user's songs, make remixes, make friends and a whole lot more. We believe in the power of music to bring people together. With Splice, you'll never be a passive listener ever again! Make music with other users, together. Did you hear a song that really moved you? Great! With Splice, you can sing along, play your own instrument, or just rearrange it so it's more to your liking. Or you can post the latest groove you recorded and see what someone else does with it. The possibilities are endless!”

SpliceMusic operates under a Creative Commons license and calls itself the ‘biggest legal free music label’; this means creators and mixers don’t have to worry about DRM or copyright issues for one thing. Splice leaves the music making to its members; unlike the regular music and networking schemes, resident Splicers get to mix it themselves, getting creative and collaborative. It’s fun, and there’s room for expansion for more seasoned DJs.

Music sites have multiplied ten fold during these Web 2.0 days; will SpliceMusic have what it takes to survive? Will users find the controls too simple? It would be much more easier to use if members could save drafts of their work and if they could delete their music without having to write out a whole case for it.
