New MixMeister Control demo video

·0 comments·

MixMeister software isn’t quite like anything else on the market. It’s designed for people who care enough about their music to refine a mix until it’s perfect, rather than throw everything together on the fly and hope that it sounds OK. You won’t be limited by on-screen simulations of turntables or CD players, either — you can “tweak” any part of your mix creation in a timeline instead. When you’ve got the mix just the way you want it, you can play it, burn it to CD, stream it over the Web, or reshape it in real-time for live performances.

This is an introduction to the MixMeister Control, which was design in partnership with Numark specifically for users of MixMeister Fusion and Studio.

·0 comments·

The M.207 is a two-channel scratch mixer perfect for the club and scratch DJ market, and marks Stanton’s re-entry into the scratch mixer market. Made of heavy gauge stamped steel with a sleek black and silver color scheme, the M.207 has the look and feel that reinforces this mixers high-quality, high-reliability design.

The M.207 is not only reliable, it is also innovative. It includes a unique user interface for controlling effects, the FXGlide™.

The FXGlide is a continuous strip touch controller, utilizing the same innovative touch-slider technology that is used in Stanton’s DaScratch MIDI Controller. In addition to providing real-time performance capabilities, the FX control can also be automated in real-time. This allows the DJ to create a custom modulation of the FX parameter, and then have that play back instead of the normal sweeping FX.
