ROC Music Creator

ROC

RoC is part of the very impressive (and very free!) Aviary Suite of audio-visual software which already includes an impressive image and audio editor in its armoury. This latest addition brings a full mixing desk right to your desktop which will simulate over 50 musical instruments including piano, guitars and drums. Music loops and ring tones are easy to construct and you can add in your own vocals or voice overs. As with the rest of the Aviary suite, Roc Music Creator is well worth checking out.

QLIPBOARD

Impossible to pronounce the name, maybe, but potentially this is a very useful addition to the audio store cupboard. With the free version of QlipBoard you can bring together images and sound, add text and annotate it, record a narration and share the finished product with your students (or with the world).
