  • What is oomix.com

    I have been working on a project for over 6 months and we are about to release it to the world, you may ask what has this got to do with weblogs.asp.net and .NET well read the introduction below and it will all make sense.

    Oomix is a combination of:

    25% social networking,
    25% online music studio,
    25% online record label,
    25% distribution channel

    In short a website where musicians can get together, engage in dialogue and manage their micro-site but also make music together and publish the resultant composition to the store.

    Building on mashup culture and Web 2.0 I believe that the result is a new model for the music industry and will be a definitive site for both professional and amateur musicians alike to 'mingle' and create new music.

    My personal involvement with this project has been to produce the back end services for producing final compositions and mixing the tracks. This is where the .NET comes in, the entire back end is written in .NET and I'm looking at opening it up in the future to allow custom plug ins and new features from developers. 

    Now if any of you are keen musicians or developers keen to tinker with a site that creates music then drop me an email or a comment and I'll see what I can do. I'm looking at implementing a managed sound effects library so any comments on that would be excellent.

    At the moment I'm fighting with time stretching WAV samples. Ahhhh
