Graphical mixing of tracks

Are there any similar programs to MixMeister and Acid for mixing (graphical & non-live mixing programme's for graphical perfect mixing)?

Can you define "graphical mixing"?

I use Sony Vegas for mixing, if that helps?

Are you talking about mixing video or audio.

If video, then something like adobe encore will do.

If audio, Cubase, logic, sonar, etc.

Mixing of audio like a dj but with automatic beatmatchinh, and not in real-time but in a graphical way so that tweaking is possible till perfection (so im looking for clones of mixmeister and acid)

Well i used it for a long time now and i am good at it, but i think the beatmatching engine sux, 75% of all times i need to manually adjust the position of the beats and that sucks... Creating a mix in MM takes too much time that way...

Well if you really up for a challenge you could use virtual turntables
like Virtual DJ or atomix... IMO they suck so hard compared to the real thing you'll never master them

But as for other programs like Miester i'd like to know what there is as well!

Yeah, I'm looking for such a software too.. any help I'd appriciate it.

yeah virtual dj is great, every thing goes automatic, beatmatching etc, but its for live use unfortunately

Now that people metion MixMeister , I have a question.
I was going to download it but on the list of the things you should have, there is this thing that says '2 Sound cards', I only have onboard sound.. does that mean it won't work for me or what?

Thanks in advance.

nah it should work. I've only got one sound card and it works fine... Two outputs are key for live mixing (but not necessary.)
As far as MM v4 is concerned i'm sure you only need one card.
