Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Since the launch of the new Splice, bloggers everywhere have been busily helping spread the word about what we’re doing here. The reviews have been pretty great and we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has taken the time to show us some love.
If you’ve ever been curious about how the new Splice came to be, you’re certainly not alone. Peter Kirn over at createdigitalmusic.com wrote that Splice Music 2.0 Could be First Web 2.0 Music App - which you can Digg, if you’re so inclined - and then got in touch with us to do an interview with our own CTO, Bram de Jong. You can read it here: How Splicemusic.com Has Taken Real Audio Processing to the Web. It’s really a great conversation about the site and I would highly recommend it. Thanks, Peter!!
The fun doesn’t stop there, though. Artswom.co.uk says Splice is back and better than ever, and we had a mention in an episode of JetSet that helps people to learn about Creative Commons licensing. Speaking of which, our friends over at the ever-awesome ccMixter even took a moment to say that the new Splicetotally rocks. High five, CC’ers!
Liz Revision has likened us to MySpace for musicians, and while my french is a little rusty these days, I still remember enough to know that le Collagiste thinks we’re doing a great job. One of my favorite posts recently was by a Larry Ferlazzo, who is recommending Splice to foreign language teachers, and we all giggled when MusicThing said we have “absolutely the finest 404 page ever made”.
And last, but certainly not least, Matt Rosoff did a wonderful review over in the CNET.com Digital Noise: Music & Tech blog:
Even if you’re not interested in creating a song, this is an interesting tool from a business standpoint as well: Splice shows the promise (and limitations) of rich Internet applications. No, you’d never use Splice for serious commercial audio production, but it’s a great way to learn the ropes and create some reasonably sophisticated tracks. This is why Microsoft is spending billions embracing online services and creating its own Flash competitor–it’s impossible to ignore how sophisticated Internet-based applications have become.
It’s really refreshing to see someone who appreciates the future of creative tools on the internet. Thanks so much, Matt!
