I haven’t looked at Aviary in a while. Wow, what I’ve been missing!
Aviary is a free suite of tools for creating and editing images and sound. The image editing tool includes advanced features like layers and masks. There’s a color editing tool, a vector drawing tool and more.
And they’ve just added a Music Creation (Roc) tool. Even the most unmusical among us (me!) can create some great little bits of music. Save your creations and use the Myna Audio editor to create a complete song, the track editing, mixing and special effects are amazing in Myna.
I wish I had a free week to spend playing with all these features. If you make some beautiful music, please share!
As usual, Polly, you're there to let us know about the latest and greatest – if I'd ever heard of Aviary, I'd forgotten about it – but I played with the new music module for a few minutes – very intuitive (at least for me) – much easier than Garage Band. Btw, if you haven't read The Shallows yet, do.
Thanks Carol! Glad you had fun with it. And thanks for the book recommendation.
