CD Mixing and MP3 Files

[LuvLatins]

Not a surprise at all. Lets see where to start.

Well Alec (Romero & Juliet) CLASSIC love it. Form Hear to Eternity (Right on) GOOD taste. I started as a bedroom DJ, that is how we all start. In fact, I do some of my best mixing at home.

I Did have SURE and dumped them about two years ago for --- Yes Ortofons :)

If you like mixing MP3 files you MUST get http://www.mixmeister.com/

I have tried everything and they all SUCK. This one Mix Meister Pro version 4 (I hope they still have version 4 avialable) I never upgraded no need. IT IS AMAZING. The ability to mix with it is FANTASTIC. Dead on mixes one after another, it even looks in the directory you choose and begins calulating the BPM per minute of each MP3. Then you grag them to a mixing window and you can adjust the length of mix. 4 measures 16 measures 60 measures it is FANTASTIC.

Well nice chatting take care for now. My email is jvbandes@comcast.net drop me a line some time

try mp3 mixing straight from you hard disc mp3 whatever. I use Tractor Dj Mp3 mixer. It has beat matching /pitch control filters etc .you can make seamless loops. you can record your mixes. You will need two soundcards to be able to monitor properly but thats no great problem. All from your pc. You can also now by a hardware mixer which you can use via midi so you still have the hands on approach.

I'm a Vinyl Man, just like you bro...

Here's a thought!

I'd the CDJ-1000 from Pioneer original version before the 800 and the MKII versions. I only used them for editing, original mixes until I decided to complete a Mix Show by CD only. I transferred my versions of songs that I was going to use for a Mix Show, re-edited each song and mix it off the CD.

I'm in love with the CD process!

I still purchase and receive Vinyl from services and use them as reference for mixes.

Using turntables is the blueprint but finalizing it on the CDJ-1000 is a beautiful thing!

Hard Work Pays Off in the end!

Practice makes perfect, so try it out!!!!!!
