At the winter NAMM show, IK
Multimedia announced the upcoming release of EZ-Mixer a new kind of
multifunctional MP3 player/encoder and live remixing tool which emulates a two
tracks DJ mixer with all the necessary features to produce a compilation or a live
remix, like a DJ in a club. EZ-Mixer doesn't only play and encode MP3s but
supports the import/export of a multitude of other audio formats including Wav,
Aiff, Qdesign, QuickTime, etc... and direct song ripping from audio CDs.
The live-remixing enviroment
includes everything that's used by a DJ during a live-performance, like: song
position controls with loop and marker points, manual and automatic cross-fades,
BPM determination and adapting to match different song tempos, pitch/tempo
control on each track, master, pan, bass and treble controls, and also single
sample triggering using the keyboard. It also offers pre-monitoring on a single
audio card or separate output support with multiple audio cards.
EZ-Mixer allows, in compilation mode, to organize 4 play-lists with 25 songs each
for a total of 100 songs per session. Compilations can be exported as separate
files (batch mode) or as a unique mix, including time and position selectable
cross-fades.
EZ-Mixer also comes with 10 ready-to-be-mixed, royalty free, dance tracks of
