"Top 10 Sites for Creating Digital Music
1. Myna - Far and away my favorite online music editor. This is very similar to Garageband and a nice alternative for those who do not have the Apple application.
2. Soundation - Very easy to use, with a drag/drop interface for creating excellent-sounding music.
3. Jam Studio - Fun site that lets users select a "key" to play in and a theme to match.
4. Loop Labs - Nice time- line editor; learning curve is a bit higher than most sites.
5. Your Spins - Great site for mixing prerecorded music and sharing with others.
6. Indaba - Unique site where users can create collaborative music pieces to make one final product.
7. Creating Music - Very user friendly website shows kids how to create digital music.
8. Contrapunctus Variations - Wonderful site for creating orchestral music by selecting an instrument and clicking on a time line.
9. iNudge - Fun site for kids, who can make music by drawing shapes.
10. Glitchscape - Create sound by drawing vector shaped rectangles. "

To create your original work you can select from Soundation's gallery of 400 free sounds, upload your own sounds, or record new sounds using the instruments and keyboard built into Soundation. When you've created a product you like, you can download it or share it in Soundation's gallery.
