Known for it’s amazing online graphics tools like Phoenix and Raven (yes, they’re all named after birds), Aviary announced the launch of a new tool – Roc, the online music creator, which will allow users to use their audio editor, Myna, to create ringtones and music loops.
This makes Aviary a powerful suite for the DIY musician. Use the graphics apps to create banners or buttons for fans to post on their own sites. Use the audio apps to create messages to fans. Even better…use both to create ringtones and phone screensavers and sell them on your website as package deals!
My guess is that Aviary will be adding a video editor to their suite of tools next. How cool would that be, to be able to make your own videos without having to buy some program or take up a bunch of space on your hard drive for it?
Of course, in order to take advantage of these tools, you’ll need to have some basic editing skills and the time to work on all of it. But a lot of artists are lacking one or the other or even both. If that’s the case, it’s going to be worth the investment of hiring someone else to do it for you and save yourself some time and frustration!
