Audiotool is a web-based production environment that allows you to create and remix original music from the comfort of your web-browser. Choose from a broad array of classic drum machines, synths, and an assortment of effects and processing.
While providing an amazing level of customization to your tracks, what's really impressive about Audiotool is the sound quality; most of the sounds were modeled from classic analog machines, but the level of sonic detail is astounding.
Setting up and creating tracks is a snap, and after familiarizing yourself with the interface, you'll be up and crafting beats in no time.
Making beats alone is fun, but why not share your creations with friends? Audiotool also has a social aspect: after signing up to the site, you can compose and post what you've made for other subscribers to check out, as well as post links to your facebook, twitter, etc.
As you can see in the screenshot, I cooked something up with a TR-808, a classic bass synth, and a Tone Matrix...hope my friends like it!

If you follow us on Twitter, or one of our other social web hangouts, you may have noticed at some point the mention of a re-vamp/rehab/overhaul/makeover going on at our facility. Well, it's true- The Bank's being upgraded! Because of that, I've been out of the loop online, so I just wanted to bring everyone up to speed as we continue working to make our studio even better!
What's past is prologue.
Back in 2007, Wes and I discussed a few things we could do in the studio to not only be more appealing to clients, but also to increase our productivity where it relates to songwriting and beat making. Not to say we were slackin' on the beats, but we both share a tremendous amount of responsibility throughout the day-to-day, which can get in the way of making time to be creative. Perhaps if we were living in our parents' basements with no pressing obligations, we'd be free to tap out bangers every day, but that's not the case.
Additionally, the studio configuration we had was somewhat cumbersome and often prohibited us from utilizing some of the analog synths and hardware we have in the arsenal. If you listen to anything we've made over the last year, you may notice that the majority of sounds are sampler instruments and/or Logic plugins. Not that there's anything wrong with those types of sounds- we're avid fans of Logic and there's some incredible instruments to be found in there; we just feel that they're often severely lacking in depth compared to the lush juiciness of an analog synth. This applies to drums as well. Even with the outrageous flexibility of our DAW's sequencing capabilities, there's just nothing like the swing of an MPC...that's open to debate for you beat makers and audio gearheads out there.
Fast forward to February 8, 2010.
After finishing our last project and a brief excursion to The Land of Bubbles, we began a project we've dubbed "The Bankover," (The Bank + Makeover). For the last three months, we have been working tirelessly to streamline our production process and add improvements to the studio setup. These adjustments will allow us to implement the full capabilities of the lab and make use of everything The Bank has to offer. These are truly exciting times, not just for us, but also for the recording artists, musicians, and producers we work with as well!
Check back here for updates; as of today we still have a few more weeks to go until we're up and running, but I'll add new posts and pics as the process comes closer to completion.
