Ladies and gentlemen, plug in your microphones — now you can record directly into Jamglue! A couple days ago we added a recorder to our upload page, and it looks like this:
Here at Jamglue we want you to hit BIG RED BUTTONS as much as possible, so give in to the urge and try recording something! Once you’re done you can immediately preview the results. Then when you SAVE, we add the recording as a new track to your Jamglue account.
After listening to Peace and Hate so much lately, I couldn’t help but try inserting myself into it. With the original song piped into my headphones, I recorded a couple of snippets and replaced John’s vocal in my version of the mix. The results:
It was fun, but I won’t be quitting my day job. (We’ll keep making the tools — your job is to make the music!) And with that folks, start your recordings!
I would like to announce the winners of Jamglue’s very first remix competition!
The contest ended on January 6th, and we had a lot of excellent entries. When we called upon our users to vote for their favorites, they spoke up, exhibiting excellent taste! Here are our winners:
Grand Prize:
First Prize Winners:
And of course, here’s the original, so you can compare and appreciate all the creative genius demonstrated by our participants:
Congratulations to our winners, and thanks to everyone who participated in the contest, Nettwerk, and the Submarines for making our first contest a great one.
For all of you with a competitive streak, or who may just be looking for some remixing inspiration, stay tuned for our next competition (coming soon).
It’s been our number one requested feature, but we did it because we wanted to, not because you told us to: tempo changing and beat matching!
That’s right, a few days ago we added the ability to speed up and slow down your tracks to make them match better. You’ll see that there’s now a speed setting for each track. At 1.0, the track plays at its usual speed, at 0.75 it plays at three quarter speed, and at 2.0 it plays twice as fast. You get the idea. If the track has a tempo set, we’ll show you what the new BPM is after each speed change.
If you just want to make all your tracks have the same tempo (not a bad idea), we’ve also added a button at the top to do the math for you. Pressing it will set each track’s speed to whatever it needs to be to match BPMs with the mix’s BPM.
So for example, we could combine two great Creative Commons remix contests by taking the drums from Peace & Hate (100 BPM), and adding a few melodic pieces from Colors Shifting (60 BPM), and putting them together at 90 BPM:
