Welcome!
Want to create a heart-pounding mix for a party or a tempo-controlled
mix for your aerobics class, but hate those awkward fades, jumping volume,
or worse
Create a mix, from your own music, in the style of a radio or club DJ, lining up rhythms for that professional sound.
Quickly adapt the mix to your preferences by adjusting the song transitions, volume, treble, and bass.
Play back your mix in an unattended or assisted manner for parties, events, and webcasts.
Export your mix directly to a CD or in compressed format for the Web or portable music players.
The steps to a great MixMeister mix are relatively simple:
Import your music into the Catalog
where MixMeister keeps a list of all the music files you've imported.
The Catalog, which you can organize the way you want
Build your Playlist. You simply drag songs from the Catalog and drop them into the Playlist. MixMeister plays the songs (or tracks) in the order they're listed.
Create your mix. The Timeline (in the lower half of the MixMeister window) gives you a visual representation of each song in your Playlist.
Adjusting the mix of songs by changing the overlapping segments of music.
Fading songs in and out using volume controls.
Turning on Beat Mixing (also known as beat matching) so that songs have the same BPM at the point where they overlap, linking them seamlessly together.
Adjusting the tempo of the Playlist.
Changing the bass and treble levels of songs.
Important
note MixMeister uses non-destructive editing. This means that no
matter how much you edit a track in the Timeline, you never really change
the original music file; you can always get back to it. With this approach,
your onscreen editing goes much faster than if you were working on the
original file, and your working files are much smaller, saving space on
your hard disk. In addition, MixMeister has a robust "Undo"
feature that can undo almost anything you do in the Playlist and the Timeline
(although not in the Catalog).
Listen to the mix. Even if all you've done is drag a few songs from the Catalog and dropped them onto your Playlist, MixMeister has automatically overlapped the ending of each song with the beginning of the next, making smooth transitions between songs.
Share your mix by burning an audio CD, setting it up for transfer to a handheld player, or for broadcast on the Web.
