Just when I was thinking I?d heard everything about music and its growth and sprawl through the Internet, I came to realize how little I knew about it.

3D Solar team has gone beyond the boundaries and released what is meant to be a revolution in the way we see and listen to music, and its combined use with IM applications, blogs, broadcast sites and much more. Possibilities and combinations are just endless.

Thanks to 3D Solar’s new development named TronMe, anyone is going to be able to make their own song versions or remixes and perform them live in their favourite IM application such as MSN, AIM, Skype as well as in their blog or Mogolus. Sometimes when you chat through your IM application with no music and the outcome imagery is fairly sad with not so good looking backgrounds and so on, now using TronMe you can impress a lot of vitamins to it.

This fully featured media player is based on an innovative technology which allows you to customize your favourite song in a completely unique manner using your mouse and your webcam.

You will also find that this program brings to you the ability to apply different effects to make the outcome look cooler and more interesting. Thus giving you the possibility to show your outstanding productions to the entire world.

It looks good, doesn’t it? So lets get inside and find out how does TronMe works.

To begin with, we need to understand that the ultimate goal is simply to experience a new way of listening to the music and in addition you are going to be able to show it to the world.
Although performing an outstanding version of a song may seem a very difficult task, you will find that with just a little practice you can generate amazing outcomes, this interactive player will help the artist within you shine.

What matters is the format. The songs are uploaded in the IVS format which is a fresh new way to enrich and put your unique touch into songs. This file format has the particularity of being able to transform any regular song file into a completely interactive experience. This is possible thanks to the fact that IVS format has control over every part of the song such as the instruments and the segments (introduction, verse, bridge, chorus, etc.). All this components included in the IVS format tracks can be handled as blocks or separated entities, so you can mix or rearrange them according to your style and personality. Thus giving you endless possibilities to mix, remix or create a totally new and unique performance.

In TronMe you will find two track files modes: Full and Normal interactivity.
Full interactive tracks allow you to add or remove instruments, vocals and much more from the track, and what is more important, to do it in a dynamic way. In order to do this you will have a panel on the right side of the video with slots which you can click to activate or deactivate available instruments as well as arrange the segments in any way you like.
You also have Normal interactive files: this format has the advantage that any MP3 format song can be converted into an interactive file by 3D Solar so far. Although you can?t play with the instruments, in basic interactive mode you can play with the segments parts and it still brings a lot of fun.

Effects!
With TronMe you have the possibility to add more than 80 effects to your performance so it looks cool. All visual effects you apply to your tracks will follow the beats of the tracks; that means that they will perfectly adapt themselves to the song?s tempo. Additionally they will be mixed with your own image also based on the beat and measures of the track. Images shown during the performance are most of time created by the music. So as you create a unique song performance, the accompanying visual effects will be also unique.

You will be able to record the result in .avi or .MP3 format to broadcast it in youtube or to load it in your iPod and show it to your friends and relatives. You can also broadcast your tracks live to your own dedicated channel on Mogulus. Besides, you can add a widget to Facebook or Myspace or even perform live if you want. What is more surprising is that if you don?t want to perform you can just let the system analyse what you are doing. TronMe has an innovative face tracking unit inside. So the track will be performed based on your movement.

TronMe has added value. As a TronMe user you can add a vote widget (vote button), which can be placed close to your video and allows you to get votes. Later, you can see your score in the player based on the number of votes you got. The more votes you get the higher grows your score and this will result in you having access to new tracks and visual effects.

The artists will also have a very important role in this musical revolution started by 3D Solar. Now they are able to promote their songs in a very innovative way. By delivering songs under the IVS format they allow their fans to get involved in the music generation process. The artists will be able to select among the different instruments including percussion, winds, strings or synthesizers samples to be included in the song?s final edit, through the use of TronMe this parts can be handled so that the final user will be able to choose among the various sample options for his final mix. However, the artists will never loose control over his creation as they will always be able to determine the level of interactivity any track will have. They may consider that a song is a unique piece of artwork and they do not want it to be severely distorted, then they can allow minimal interactivity for that particular track, thus limiting the quantity and quality of the changes and variations that users can make. Artists who want to have their tracks in TronMe can visit the record label in London at www.3dsolar.com.
