Music Mixers

[DaBouncer 13]

Anyone know if there is some GOOD software available (free or not) that will mix dance music. Mixes like a DJ only it's done automatically?

[DaBouncer 13]

I take it, that's a NO then?

The best program is probably Steinberg's Cubase VST

There's loads around - do a search on "mp3 mixers". I've tried a few and they're all a bit of a pain to use compared to a pair of technics.

 

Apparantly protools is very good for studio type mixing, and there's various very high-end packages that are aimed a pro djs who mix from mp3 rather than vinyl, etc.

If you want a software package that runs one track into the next (like a DJ would line one up to the next) and is used by the professionals, you could check out the Australian programme OTS Juke. They have their own website.

The professionals (when making up those bobbins Dave Pearce Euphoria mixes et al) use a package called CoolEdit Pro. Basically the DJ mixes it live then, for style reasons or to cover mistakes or because the mix is too long, they fiddle aboot with it in CoolEdit. It's a bit expensive though.

I'm sure it is

I've found Soundforge better than Cooledit.

 

I'd heard that the pro dj mixes were all done on Protools !

Ah. The rival, certainly, but not necessarily the replacement (not yet anyway - I just couldn't for the life of me remember its name, tho).
