How To Become A Digital DJ Master

By Rodrigo Mullinex


In the third installment of this series, we will be looking at Mixmeister Fusion by Numark, which you can get new for around 170 ($299).

why do you have to buy a Mixmeister Fusion

Versatility - One of Mixmeister Fusions main strengths is its versatility. It is an equally valuable tool whether used in the studio to create a mix, or in the club. The combined look and feel of a digital audio workstation akin to Cubase SX, and DJing software akin to Serato Scratch Live is Mixmeister which focuses taking out the dreary tasks akin to beat matching, thus it allows the DJ to have an imaginative mix.Effects, effects, effects! - Mixmeister Fusion offers a ton of different effects to play with.Some are included, some aren't. You can focus on using the effects for the beat matching and counting the beats in your head are all taken care of. The EQ to 8 tracks discretely in real time can be tweaked and also the volume and the tempo. There are other effects I haven't mentioned, but way too many to write about in this article. Put simply, you can make your sound as individual as you are.

Included Demo videos - This really good for learning. The videos are in plain English for the people that are less technically minded and some videos are there to make you started.CD burning - Did you already created a perfect mix on the Mixmeister?Does your club where you play only permit CD players? There is no problem. Just use the integrated CD burning facility and your mix will be identical on CD as it is on your computer. Simple. Isn't it? Optional hardware control - Mixmeister Fusion can be extended that will include a Mixmeister Control, a hardware manager for the software, it costs around 330 ($550). Instead of being cramped over a laptop, Mixmeister Control allows you to feel more like a DJ with all the functionality of the software now at your fingertips. Also the manager software allows the user to copy, cut, paste and delete like you are just using the mouse and keyboard, it is more than just a USB mixer.

Why not buy a Mixmeister Fusion It feels like cheating! - A few DJs believe that the skill of DJing is in the selection of the song and some others believe it is in matching the beat perfectly. If you are in the following school of thought then this software is not for you. Having this software is just to easy to use.

High system requirements/possible high expense - Mixmeister is a hungry piece of software. To make this software run properly you will be needing a fast computer.Purchase a new laptop(if needed) to the controller, the second sound card and the software is quite expensive. Overview With Mixmeister Fusion, you get many options that others programs haven't even thought of yet. Though this software is expensive, you will get the top quality and a powerful DJ tool which has the aptitude to expand with a controller.

I recommend this software to anyone that is interested in Djing
