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 Techno, Trance, House, D'n'B, Hip-Hop and hundreds of sample hits which are included with the software.
