One of last year’s TechCrunch50 startups, Bojam, is launching in public beta today and we have 500 invites. Bojam is a Web-based sound studio that lets musicians practice playing music, find other musicians around the world to jam with, and lay down tracks together on the same song. Click here to try out the service.
Bojam is a fully functional music mixer. You can adjust the volume on each track or add effects like distortion and reverb. Similarly, you can solo or mute instruments, loop, cut, copy, paste and trim audio clips. Bojam also includes a plugin that allows you to record and upload directly into the mix, or you can upload tracks recorded in Garage Band or other software.
One upcoming interesting feature of Bojam’s mixer is the ability to embed a mixing widget in blogs, social networks and websites where users can remix and edit audio from within the embeddable widget. The widget should be rolled out within the next few months
Beyond being a collaborative tool, Bojam is also a community for musicians to find other musicians to play with anywhere in the world, asynchronously. If a song is really good, the musicians can decide to sell it on iTunes or Rhapsody for 99 cents. Music teachers can also use the service to auction off their services (as can studio musicians half-way across the world).
Bojam faces competition from Indaba (covered here) JamGlue, and Minimum Noise (covered here).
I tried your link. It ask for invitation code.
I can’t believe all 500 invitations are taken that quick.
Maybe, you can email it to me.
Thanks,
Invitation code is TECHCRUNCH, which should be auto-filled now
When I first tried it, I guessed ‘ techcrunch ‘ .
It didn’t work. I should have guessed capitalized.
I eventually got a confirmation email.
Look forward to trying it out.
It sounds interesting.
Thanks,
Congrats to Andrew & team!
Dude, you didn’t include the code!
The code is autofilled in the form when you click the link!
Please use the invitation code TECHCRUNCH for the beta.
Any chance at getting a code?! I would LOVE to try this.
Anyone have the Invitation Code?
Code, please? Thanks!
Bojam has great technology and a great concept. Its hard to see them not succeeding even in this economy.
Kudos on the new development.

Just signed up, thanks to @Andrew/BoJam for the code.
I will now write a parody song about TechCrunch using BoJam.
thats nice – whats the code?
The code – TECHCRUNCH – is now pre-filled for the invitation link. You shouldn’t need it any more (maybe reload to clear the earlier page from your cache)
TECHCRUNCH. See the first few comments.
Just signed up! Code should be autofilled with TECHCRUNCH… what a great concept.
Robert… I’ll throw down the bass line
Looks like they just copied jamglue.com, right down to the logo.
Where do you log in? it said that my subscription has been confirmed in an email, but i still can’t find a link to log in. Thanks for any insight!
We’ll be sending out invitations shortly. Thanks for signing up!
