Mixman Studio Pro
The Ultimate
Software for "live-playing" DJs comes now with real hardware
Mixman Studio Pro is not only the best looking
software I've ever seen on a PC, but also the only one I know of, that
can satisfy the demand of DJs for real-time operation and dynamic
mixing.
(I know, that look is not that important, but...)
While Acid addresses more the composer and arranger, this software is for
the DJ that wants to work the way he's used to.
It's more like an instrument that more closely approximates the
skills DJs use to mix music on the fly. And it got even better.
Because there is definitely one thing, that sets them apart of the bunch
and also gives an "unfair" advantage to the DJs using
this tool.
Yes, they really did it now.
Everybody I know talked of "how great it would be to have a real
hardware controller in hands that you can touch". Well, It seems
that the developer of mixman also heard this demanding calls and developed
exactly that.
Here it is now!
This tool is really not only for looking, but also for
grabbing and feeling.
In effect, this makes the Mixman software/hardware package
an almost unbeatable solution for professional DJs. At the moment I know
of no other gear, that even comes near.
Plus:
- Great look and design
- Sensational 2-turntable+Mixer hardware controller
- very "playable", without much fiddling around
- DJs can work the way they're used to with a very short
learning curve and almost instantaneous good sounding results
Minus:
- A little less exact control over the actual output than
on "step-by-step" software like Acid or other Audio Sequencer
but on the other hand much faster and more spontaneous.
