Abstract

A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to enable a musician to connect with other musicians online in a social network, or work with their past work that is available to use. The musicians may use an in-browser mixer to select tracks from the site for a specific song, change their individual settings like volume, starting positions, pan and the like, mix tracks and play them together, and then record their own track alongside. A musician may also connect with other musicians online in a social network, or work with their past work that is available to use.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

enabling a user to log on to the website;

exploring different mixes available;

selecting an interesting mix; and

launching a mixer to perform mixing and recording.
