Yes, the Fusion video module is ready!

As promised, we've released an add-on video mixing module for MixMeister Fusion.  We took what we learned from our previous video products and focused on delivering rock-solid support for video playback of MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and WMV files, with support for transitions, text overlays, and more.  Upgrade information is available on the Fusion + Video page of this site.

MixMeister Fusion is featured in Mobile Beat

A hands-on review in the new issue of Mobile Beat says (among other things), "It’s the visual aspect that makes Fusion a compelling tool...  Here is also the most intuitive and diminutive looping control panel I have seen in any DJ software...
No doubt the club DJs and would-be remixers in the audience are already salivating as they imagine what they could do with this creative tool."  There's lots more in the full article here.

Longtime MixMeister user, Granddaddy DJ, played at the Avalon in New York in October. Digitally Imported also streamed the event live. This was the big apple's chance to see a top-notch DJ who has been mixing music since before electricity was invented.

MixMeister Pro gets a 5-star review from iDJ magazine

Calling it "a great package" and "a more intuitive system," International DJ magazine awards a 5-star rating to MixMeister Pro 5.  Clearly the iDJ editors "get" the product and understand what makes it so powerful and so unique.  Read the review at http://www.i-dj.co.uk/reviews/reviewspage.php?ID=147.

We've recently released a simple but powerful software program called MixMeister BPM Analyzer, and we're giving it away for free. It's not a trial, it's not a "lite" version, but a fully-functional tool for DJs. If you're an existing MixMeister customer, you won't have any need to use this program yourself, but you're welcome to distribute this tool to friends and colleagues if you'd like.

We've designed this as a "one-trick pony," meaning it does one thing and does it extremely well, to give users a taste of some of the advanced technology available in our MixMeister line of mixing software. It can automatically detect very precise BPM counts for any song in WAV, MP3 and WMA formats and display the results on-screen. It updates the tag information embedded in digital music files, and users can even print BPM reports for an entire music collection or export this information to Excel, so it can be a great help to any DJ regardless of what software they might use. It can also be useful for song selection even if a DJ is only mixing vinyl or CDs (provided that he has a digital copy of his songs on a PC for BPM Analyzer to read).

DJs can download a copy at no charge from www.mixmeister.com/download.htm. You can use and distribute MixMeister BPM Analyzer completely free of charge for non-commercial purposes.
