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.

Virtuasonic introduces MIJOY Pro 4

·0 comments·

MIJOY PRO is a VSTi MIDI plug-in that allows you to use a joystick or gamepad as a MIDI controller. It can be used to control other VSTi instruments, FX plug-ins and even MIDI hardware in real-time.

Nowadays synthesizers, samplers and effects offer an incredible range of possibilities. So much power and flexibility also means many parameters to be managed. Programming the automation by hand is a possible approach to this issue, but certainly more suitable for refining a track than for creating it from scratch.
