MusicShake Launches New App and Updates Social Features

Back at Techcrunch40 last year, Musicshake launched their music mixing application. It was by far the crowd favorite and my overall favorite for the entire event. Unfortunately they didn’t win the grand prize.

Tomorrow they will announce the launch of the newest version of the Musicshake application. The new system features over 400,000 music modules created by real musicians. The modules are all types of different sounds, instruments and other musical elements. In this new version, Musicshake has also added 80,000 new electronica music modules.

They call the system the "Mubot" for music robot and it helps you to automatically harmonize the various elements of the track so you always sound (and look) like a rock star. Musicshake is a downloadable application as opposed to most Web applications.

Musicshake has also upgraded their social capabilities which include the ability to email and embed any track. You can also insert your music into Facebook and MySpace.

Honestly this is one of those apps that you just need to try. But only do it when you have time to play – this is not an app you will leave after a few minutes. If you do create any music, leave a comment so all of us can check it out!

Here’s an example song from their top 50 list of the top rated songs that users have created (it looks like the embed only works in IE!):
