A Quick Demo on Hobnox.com’s Audiotool

I spent 5 minutes on hobnox.com’s interesting Audiotool. If you’ve been having fun with Propellerheads Reason (which is a killer KILLER production software) you’re going to have allot of fun with this.
Here are some highlights:
- Beautifully Flash driven interface.
- A huge scalable workspace.
- Tonnes of beautifully rendered stompboxes.
- TR-808, TR-909, and TB-303 models.
- Each instrument and effects loads upon dragging onto the work surface (nice and efficient)
- AND you can record tracks.
For a web-app. This is damn cool, you can’t complain. However:
- Why not a more decent mixer … with faders?
- Can we have less Roland-fanservice. Throw in an Oberheim, or a Korg.
- Not a really super-accurate emulation (especially the filters).

Hey John, thanks a lot for this. Sounds great. I have forwarded your thoughts about improvements to the developers.
In a next step (early 09) we will add timeline and arrangement functionality as well as hopefully the ability to collaborate on the same setup from different locations.
Cheers again, David / Hobnox
Awesome find, John. Imagine real-time collabos with this. People could be jamming from work haha.
