WNAMM07: Numark Re-Defines DJ Software
US
MixMeister Fusion mixing/sequencing application on show 20/01/07
Sorry this is a flash video which has been depreciated, we're working on bringing the archives back online.
Launched at the show, Numark's MixMeister Fusion is a powerful mixing/sequencing application that give DJs greater ability to expand into remixing and producing mixes beyond traditional mixing and blending.
Numark tell us that MixMeister Fusion allows a DJ to reconfigure a mix with a workflow similar to DAW (digital audio workstation) software. This innovative approach makes it possible for a full-length mix to be constructed and produced on-screen. By automating most beat-mixing tasks, MixMeister Studio DJs can mix up to eight songs simultaneously and take advantage of features like intelligent looping (up to eight measures) and the ability to overlay samples and sound effects. The software records all of a DJ's actions and manipulations and, say Numark, allows them to be tweaked and altered to create the perfect mix.
In addition, Numark say that MixMeister Fusion adds the spontaneity and excitement of live DJ performing with multiple audio outputs and support for headphone/monitor cueing. Fusion features include an ultra-stable "perform mode" playback option, wireless remote control of mixes and the ability for DJs to manually beat-mix with external audio sources. MixMeister Fusion lets live performers expand and manipulate already-complex mixes to make the most of live mix manipulation.
Expansion is possible via connectivity with a wide range of MIDI hardware controllers, and when the mix is complete it can be exported as an MP3 or burned to a CD using the software's integrated burning tools.
