If you don’t know by now, I use to be a music producer. I spent a lot (emphasis on a lot) of money building my recording studio. So you can understand my surprise when I came across Aviary’s new free online recording studio, Myna. Not only can you record, mix, arrange, add effects and more to sounds, you can save and share the results with collaborators or people in general. All this happens online so you can co-produce with people around the world. Did I mention it’s free. The jury is still out on the quality of this tool for professional use, but glancing at the video it looks like it should have at least some application in preproduction.

Not only can you create your next MP3 master piece, you can also design the CD cover and tour graphics. These crazy people at Aviary also provide free tools for image creation. Actually these tools can be used for any graphics, not only music related. They have tools similar to Photoshop, Illustrator and others, that allow you to create some stunning graphics all within your web browser.

I’m real excited about this one and I’m going to have to force myself to look away for now so I can get some work done at my day job. You can check out all of their tools at http://aviary.com/ and watch the video below to see Myna in action.
