I want to get started putting some track together. Have any tips on what to get first and I don't have that much money?

[briansredd]

I'm not much of a producer, but many have had succsess with Fruity Loops as a PC platform that's not a lot of money and can get you started with production.

thats not really djìng though. just cuz i can put a hungryman dinner in the microwave doensnt make me a chef.

[briansredd]

According to your profile, you are 30. I have a few years on you. DJing is older than both you & I combined. The first radio DJ goes back to about 1910 or so.

It has changed over the years, but there is no way that you or anyone else can define what a REAL DJ is.

If I told you that both Jason Nevins & the guy who does most of the Syndicated mix shows in the USA for Clearchannel (a former DMC champ) use this program, would it make it REAL DJing? Because guess what? They BOTH use it :)

[djkrisco]

I must be missing something then, it looked like all you did was drop a few tracks into the program and it beatmatched the intros to the outros and that was it.

[briansredd]

Yeah it CAN do that. However, it does much more.  Have a search for my "Discovered" video for a small taste of it's possibilities

[JerryYTVideo]

Love it. But i was wondering if it's possible to cut 1 piece of a track and make that piece one long track by copying and pasting to remix it with another track. Lots of ideas, but can't do them with cd's mixer. :(

[MageAtYou]

mixmeister isnt a very useful tool. I like to have much more freedom and mixmeister makes me feel like I am inside a small box. I cannot use the software for very long before I get all mad.

How Accurate is the Key analyzer on this?

[legacyofboom]

you can mix it... i'we ben working with mixmeister for 4 years now and im verry happy... if you have any questions just ask.. i'll be happy to answer them =)

[billythefridge]

Not to contradict you brian but i no that a british radio dj/tv presenter was the first person to use 2 vinyl turntables so there was not gap in sound which in my opinion must make himthe first dj by todays standards ,

i do except radio "djs" were called dj before this but i would refer to them as prestentersor compares !

no disrespect just my information anpointofview

[Serbesight]

I've got a question:

Is it possible to mix just small part of each song or I must cut the desired part before mixing it into one large mix?

[benmiles00]

It's a shame that there aren't a lot of effects. There are a few but not nearly as many as VirtualDJ. But, unlike VDJ this allows you to mix tunes seamlessly; VDJ does not.

A turntable being turned off would be a great addition to the software and the ability to convert directly to MP3 is something I have REALLY missed.
