Mixing software

DKLS

After tolerating the usual bad music mixes at various get togethers over Christmas, I want to look into mixing software, that can match the beats of two tracks, and sync them together, so I can create a number of mixes for different occasions.

Anyone used any software for this? and can recommend something that doesn't have a horrendous learning curve.

Audacity is an open source editing and recording program

There is a youtube tutorial to give you a basic idea of what you can do

Look out for OTSAV (www.otsav.com) Audacity is only a waveform editing tool, it won't mix songs together (unless you do it manually with copy/paste mix).

You'll need to look for Segue mixing software, on the Mac there are several, including the excellent DJ software MegaSeg: http://www.megaseg.com/ no doubt loads for the PC too.

Logic Audio and ProTools are bound to have countless plug-ins to enable smooth mixing too.

FL Studio (formerly: fruity loops)
Read the thread for alternatives and a working url for 'fruity loops'\'fl studio': http://www.oldversion.com/talk/showthread.php?t=2198&page=2

There was also 'numark cue' but I can't find a working link not associated with a warez site for it anymore, so I assume it's gone commercial. Unless anyone else can find one?

HTH and good luck with your mixing.
