Indaba Music launches online digital audio editing tools

Indaba Session Console 2.0
Online music collaboration, creation, and sharing suite Indaba Music has opened its new online audio editing tool to the public. Session Console 2.0 Alpha lets you create and mix audio recordings online. Sort of. The application is built on JavaFX, so while you launch the application from a web browser, it acts more like a desktop app that opens in a separate window and can take a minute or two to load.

But once Session Console 2.0 is loaded, it works as a powerful digital audio workstation that blurs the lines between local and remote storage. You can import hundreds of drum, bass, guitar, and other audio from Indaba's library, or download tracks you've uploaded to an Indaba Music Session. You can also click the big red record button to record a new track using your computer's audio hardware and save it to an online session.

Session Console 2.0 offers true multi-track, non-destructive audio editing. In other words, you can load up a bunch of audio files and apply dozens of effects in real-time without affecting the original source files. This makes it easy to create a mix, then a remix, then another remix, and then go back to the original version of the audio to start all over again from scratch.

The software is still a little rough around the edges. It locked up on me when I tried importing audio files from my desktop or files I'd used for an older Indaba Music project. But I had no problem loading a few of Indaba's pre-recorded guitar and drum samples to play around. It's worth keeping in mind, this is still Alpha software, and it might be worth keeping an eye on if you're looking for a quick and easy audio editing solution that you can use from any Java-enabled computer.

You can check out a demo video from Indaba Music after the break.

Indaba Music updates its browser-based music production tools

Indabamusic
Indaba Music is an online music creation web site and community. Users can upload audio tracks from their computer or call in and record tracks over the phone, and then use Indaba Music's web-based audio editor to mix, loop, and edit the audio.

Today, the company announced a limited beta of a new version of its online audio production tools, based on JavaFX. The update will add the ability to record tracks from any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer using the the browser based tool. The new editor will allow users to record tracks directly to the internet, and share their projects with other users who can mix and remix them.

The company lets users create and save a limited number of sessions for free. You can also pay $10 per month for up to 10GB of online storage and an unlimited number of projects.

The new version of Indaba Music's web based editor should be available to the general public in July.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
