Soundation Beatmaker Online DAW

In early October, music software developer Soundation launched Beatmaker, an online DAW/social platform intended to help emerging musicians collaborate online by providing ready-made and royalty-free beats, drum kits and samples, and also allowing users to upload their own sounds and samples. After they’re uploaded, beats and samples can be manipulated and edited within the online sequencer and sampler for beat making—and ultimately be shared with others within Soundation’s online community of 100,000 users. Producers can immediately use the Beatmaker studio to remix beats made by MG the Future, with kits by Justin Hawkes and Bishu to follow. No sign-up is required. Each kit comes with a beat pattern, which can be built upon or completely changed by the user.
