Membermy friend at school bought that numark mix meister control, cant remember the actual name, but its brilliant for actually making mix’s of music. he made a half hour mix and then just played it. if your looking to sort out all of your material before an actual set then this is for you, but if you want to live in the moment, i wouldnt go with it my self

ParticipantI know that one of the two DJs at Clique, a renound club night here in manchester uses it (the pair of them have won DJs of the year by the local manchester evening news and other accolades by the national dance mags).

MemberWow ! That’s Pretty Amazing !
I was wondering Why Mixmeister Fusion is More Expensive than Traktor; there had to be some reason 🙂July 6, 2011 at 3:29 pm #3025Ivan P

I’ve put mixes together as well using MixMeister, great tool. A colleague of mine used it for a while playing live before he transitioned over fully to Traktor.
There happens to be a controller available for it as well from Numark: http://www.numark.com/mmcontrol

MemberThe way I used to use it was to reconstruct mixes when I started…. Id free style on traktor for about 30 mins… Take my set list from traktor and put it into mix meister then did like a pretty much flawless mix being able to edit everything as i listened back and didnt like it… I love its way of being able to edit stuff that your not happy with… Its the daw of djing… These days mixing in traktor is handier 🙂

Because you can beatgrid and so “get it right” first time?

MemberTheres that and that my mixing got a lot better so didnt feel the need to do it… If your mixing isnt too tight its a good alternative though

ParticipantI have it but haven’t used it live. It needs to analyze your music first like Ableton and creates a little mmn data file like a .asd file. It reads bpm and keys well. The effects control is weird and not easy to use on a keyboard. The controller looks cool but it’s freaking big and hard to find online. Is it still made? What’s best is, grab 10 songs and it will lay them out horizontally w beatmatched end/starts. You can move these w a mouse and adjust volumes very easily. Play and save the mix and it sounds like hours of work but only took minutes. Ironically I don’t use it cuz it’s too easy and I’d rather make mixes while learning Traktor. But what the hell it works.
There are 3 controllers w confusing names. You want “Control” if you can find it.

ParticipantBeen using this software for 3 years now. Excellent tool for constructing studio mixes … very precise entry/exit points … adjust the volume/treble/base on very precise portions/selections of the track. Looping, etc. I simply adore this software and so was wondering if there’s any other software out there that is as good or better to construct studio-style mixes ?
As “Stiffy” & “Christopher” have mentioned, it can prove “too-easy” for just laying out tracks & getting them mixed perfectly “in advance” … a pre-decided set. You can also simply drop in tracks live into the timeline & get them all perfectly aligned. For live mixing though I’d say it has “limited” usage & applicability. Traktor (or any other equivalent) would be the way to go for live applications. HTH.August 13, 2011 at 12:03 am #5756Emma Partnow

Thank You for you In Depth reply; that is Excellent 😎
My Step-Father gave the Software to me as it came Free with his SoundCard; but if you were looking for a Product that would help you to Construct Audio-Style Mixes ‘More Professionally; I can Certainly Recommend Ableton to you; and they have a Trial Version on offer for you to try out 🙂August 13, 2011 at 12:16 am #5760Prakash Wadhwani

I’m just a little worried though about Ableton’s “learning curve” … Also, would I need any musical “theory” background as in chords, etc. to use Ableton effectively ? Sadly, I lack this musical theory background.
Could you possible advise/help me out on another point (a little off-topic) …
When I’m creating my mix I’d like to embed my name at the beginning/end of the mix & perhaps during certain transition points. Any ideas on how to do this ?
Also, if i’d like my name in a “female” or “robotic” voice, how can I accomplish that ??
I have posted this in another thread where it might be more appropriate to reply:
