Mixvibes Cross
Mixvibes Cross Posted on: 10.09.2008 by Red Sonya So yea, the demo is online since yesterday, I thought I'd give it a go because for me it was the only real competitor to blow traktor out of the water.http://www.mixvibes.com/site/pageeng...php?x=mv7cross It failed! Everything looks smooth, a bit dark, but OK. Everything is there you need to DJ digitally; some nice routing options etc. Then after using it for a while, I was about to take a look at the effects section - which simply isn't there. What is the point of doing digital dj'ing when using a program that doesn't support effects, only has 3 cue points and doesn't do beatgridding whatsoever? Nice try, still missing the essentials traktor is offering tho! For those still wanting to try to demo: http://www.brothersoft.com/mixvibes-cross-167001.html | |

Its not even if i ask alot from these programs either, i always forget about the effects completely personally, mainly because no dj program has good fx. You really believe this would not be much to ask but every piece of software just doesn't come close to Traktor in terms of sheer deck manipulation. I haven't tried Serato... but after Eans VCI-300 article i don't believe i want to either :\ that said id give it a go because ill give anything a go... Next on the list of things to try is Virtual Dj, which i just downloaded the trial for the other day |

| Hanna Ridenbaugh 09.04.2013 | Reviving an old thread. Since the new version of mixvibes is out, has anyone made the jump to it? |
| Hanna Ridenbaugh 20.04.2012 | Thanks, yeah considered it but kept reading about stability problems. last thing i want is a crash in the middle of a mix. maybe i just need to try it on my machine |
| Yong Aptekar 20.04.2012 | @Zimfellas OT, mixxx supports timecode, and will work with traktors vinyl as well as the serato AFAIK. You still need a soundcard to plug the decks into, so if you have that, pick up the free copy of mixxx, and remember that what you can do on traktor will blow doors on mixxx. |
| Hanna Ridenbaugh 20.04.2012 | Cheers, just seen v2.0 about to be released if not already with some promising stuff. Getting a bit tired of traktor, been a loyal customer and with the new packages which has no benefit for old customers, just for the masses of new people. It's a business at the end of the day i guess. Thinking about it what's the sound quality and latency + stability like with mix vibes? |
| Kristin Tesfamichael 20.04.2012 | mix vibes is pretty awesome, I had the cross dvs package back when it was still new. the whole idea behind it was that traktor and serato are too expensive for people who will only use it for transporting there music. it was geared for people who already had a club standard setup and didnt need any effects or beatgrids or any of those extras. recently they introduced there own controller and started optimizing the workflow towards controllerism. they have also added effects and beatgrids and a few other things. honestly you cant really compare cross to traktor. traktor can just do so many things and it can do them so damn well. but if your just looking for a simple dvs and you dont really need any of the traktor effects then it definitely worth it. |

| Random X 11.09.2008 | @barf: You can always drop code and start new. Than it still needs to mature, even though they, the people behind MixVibes, are in the business for quite a while. But that is a different point now. Gonna try the app this weekend. |

| Red Sonya 11.09.2008 | My point is Mixvibes isn't doing anything from scratch at all. They've been in the business for quite a while... |
| Random X 10.09.2008 | Mature programs from scratch is quite a bold statement barf. By the way, considering Traktor's fx, I wouldn't mind having no fx at all. These just plain suck. Same as the fx of the DJM-800 by Pioneer, everyone can easily pick out it's flange etc etc. Thanks for sharing the review though! Might check it out shortly, just for educational purposes. |
| Red Sonya 10.09.2008 | Exactly my point. @Fresh, being mixvibes and doing programs for over 10 years, one would expect them to make something more mature no? |

The point is they are starting a new program from scratch and are taking it one step at a time. The first step is a better media management system. Designing a system that takes into account full iTunes integration, multiple tag edit, artwork browsing, etc. Look here for the full details: http://www.mixvibes.com/site/pageeng...php?x=mv7cross |
| gilbert hatem 10.09.2008 | Yeah every single time I try another program I end up coming back to traktor. |
