Music mix CDs
 

Hello

Does anyone know what software is used for creating the mix CDs that are all over the shops all the time ???? I have tried a demo version of Mixmeister not got on with it. I found that it tries to be too clever and the pitch adjustment is not fine enough.

Thanks

Dave

Its not software - although there is software available to mix MP3's together using your PC

I DJ, therefore mix my own CD's & master them using software. I mix through various methods, CD's, Vinyl & more recently using the above MP3 software

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Hi there

Well i want to make my own mix CDs to listen to in the car, etc. I have done this many times with 1200s and more recently CDJ800s, but I have loads of MP3s now so i wanted to save time and effort burning them to CD.

Try virtual DJ, I'm finding it very easy to use

Failing that, why dont you burn a few disc's full of MP3's, then mix them on the CDJ's?

Mix cds in the shops are created one of several ways

1) Mixed 100% live (not so common anymore)
2) Mixed live in one or several takes, then edited/tidied up in Pro Tools
3) Mixed On Ableton Live (pro dj software)

Sounds like you need ableton- set the warp markers on the tracks, and it keeps them in sync. It is clever stuff- its the software that Sasha and Pete Tong now play out with.

Pretty boring compared to mixing it live IMHO, but whatever floats yer boat I guess. i'd just burn them and play from the CDJ's

Nero, covers everything cd, dvd's......

Nero is specifically for burning and track breaking.....

wouldnt mind some decent software for this myself really. got loooooads of cd's/records with great songs on but a cd full of full length/un mixed tracks gets tiresome!


DJ mate of mine uses Stienburg (spelling?) recommends it highly!

I use virtual DJ and also have a Hercules DJ console. If you buy the DJ console you get Virtual DJ software with it.

I find it very easy to use and made lots of mix mp3's for the car etc..

Have spent most of the evening mucking about with the CDJs and have recorded a decent mix. Even got some accapellas out on the 1200s.....

One of me mates has a deck with a pair of CDJ1000s, pair of DVJ-X1s, Allen & Heath Xone mixer, Edirol visual mixer and iBook with Arkaos that I have played on quite a bit. Now theres a piece of kit !!!!! Anyone done any VJing aswell ?

My mate does VJ, something i've not yet played with
