[Jamglue is new remixing website][1] with some social networking features thrown in for good measure. The folks behind Jamglue were kind enough to give me a beta invite over the weekend.
There are a couple of other sites out there offering similar services, but none of the ones I've tried have anywhere near the simple, streamlined and easy to use interface that Jamglue offers.
Jamglue is bit like a simplified version of Apple's garageband, living in the confines of your browser. After you set up your account, just upload any audio clips you'd like to play with. During the upload process you have the option to attach a creative commons license to your work, which is a nice touch. Alternately you can make use of clips that other users have uploaded.
The next step is to create a mix, give it a title, brief description, set the tempo and pick a license. You will then be take into Jamglue's Flash-based mixing app. For the most part everything is pretty intuitive and much of the interface is accomplished via very nice drag-and-drop features.
Once you're happy with your mix you can save it, share it with the Jamglue community or use some YouTube-style cut-and-paste code to embed it in any page you like.
Jamglue is a private beta at the moment so you'll have to sign up and wait for a while. Most people seem to have gotten an invite sent within a few days at the most.
The only real side to Jamglue was how quickly it revealed that I have no talent for remix tracks. But that's no fault of Jamglue.
