Free online music software, for those with small budget

Just discovered through Chrome apps this beautiful online music studio tool. Completely free!!
You have different synths and even a sampler is included.
Just diddling around with it right now and thought you might want to have a look at it, here is the link. The software is called Audiosauna and the best thing is, works on all Plattforms as you don't have to download anything to work with it. I think it is pretty amazing that even Mac or Linux users can use it without any hassle.
And now .... go try it
Have a great day,

Finally on itunes

Hey hey hey,
what a morning.
Finally found out that my song is submitted to itunes, thanks to routenote for helping small artists to get their stuff out and be able to make a buck or two. It feels great to have this ability without sacrificing your soul to the majors.
My music is mostly sampler based ( I use the MPC 1000 from Akai ) and gets spiced with some extras through Garageband.
I would recommend to do some research and see which distributer for your digital music would be the best. There are many out there with different offers that change rapidly as this whole digital music game is growing. Another good distributer is tunecore, there are countless distributers for your music out there, too many to name. But before you sign up, be aware of this little hint.
Say you have a cd and you think you could double up sales using both tunecore and routenote, that is total wrong. If you sell the same songs through both of them (tunecore and routenote) and both push it up to say itunes, what happens is that your song or cd won't be showing up. Itunes thinks it is spamming and put you up on a blacklist,that I heard from many others. BE AWARE of this and only sell through one digital distribution service. And now good luck on selling your music and I wish you all the best of luck. If you have any questions you can leave a comment and I will answer as good as I can. The link below is to my song on itunes, support your small artsist.
Thank you,
JayDee

Finally the Video to the nice Bow River Weir trip

Took some time to get that all converted and uploaded here from my 5 year old macbook I got for free, but it is worth the time.
You get some great shots from the Bow River and that brand new weir they build the last years, it looks great. Hope you enjoy it and if you like the music, I kid you not, it is made by me and is up for sale for just 0.49cents US!!! Help and support your Blogger, all of us spend time doing something and I have to invest in this many hours of time for, writing new articles, editing videos and composing music to it.
If you like this Blog and the music then please support me.
But now back to the Video and now lean back and enjoy,
JayDee
Have a great day

About my Music

For those who read my "about me" page already know it, but yes I make music. It is sample based and sometimes I use garageband or freeware from Linux called "lmms", what is kind of a clone from the commercial Fruity loops. But for free, and easy to use with a midi keyboard.
Whoever wants to make music these days has always a good handful of tools for free on his hands to get his feet wet with music production.
As and "oldschool" hands on dude, my preference always goes towards the MPC a standalone Music Production Center, it has a sampler and sequencer inside. These are still made till today by Akai one of the pioneers in this genre.

LMMS is available for Linux and Windows, here a screenshot from their website:
A really beautiful piece of freeware to get started and maybe
be a big producer one day.

The MPC from Akai has different models and here is the model I use for my productions mainly.    





Here now some Videos of
the music I created,
hope you enjoy it.


Now that the weather turned outside from grey to sunshine, I will leave you listening and go catch some warm sun rays.
