You might want to look into something like Mixmeister or something like VirtualDJ and Native Instruments Traktor....


As for mastering the whole project... stick with wavelab


Good luck mate

pm me for more details

Mixmeister is many times better imo, at first it looks like it cant do a thing but when you're familiar with it it can do everything, what a masterpiece that software is...

Thanks for replying mate

I've played with traktor - fun, but not practical for the kind of brutal mixing that was mandated for this mix, which involved cramming 16 tracks into 80 minutes, whilst preserving the best musical elements of each and mixing them together coherently (and trying to make them play nice!!). Virtual dj also looks like more of a live mix recording type thing that you can go back and make adjustments to. I like the look of Mixmeister though - due to the way you can visually arrange the track. This was one advantage of acid over traktor- although, traktor does sound better... grrrr..... why is it so hard!!!

Have you had pleasant experiences using mm?

I use mixmeister all the time, its features are heavenly ... I made megamixes like armin did at his last show of 2004. I bet i could have made that mix many times better, just because i use mixmeister (i guess armin used acid, not sure though)... Only thing about mm which could have been better is the number of eqs (only high and low), there should have been one for mid also (though that would take more time creating mixes)... One thing is also not powerful enough: beatmatching, sometimes it doesnt recognizes the beats well and you have to manually adjust it (for me thats no problem, it takes a few seconds, just use ears and eyes)

i use to do all my radio mixes with Acid Pro and it is "stealing" a lot from the original quality....i contact the sonic foundry(4 years ago) and they couldnt tell me what was happening but of course they denied that the software had some problems when you load to much on it.i had a 30 min show and i tink somethimes i use to have something like 40-50 tracks in my mix,so rendering wasnt agood choice...i had to record my mix audio....ableton i think is a very good choice,very flexible and quite cheap comparing with Cubase.the bpm and pitch features can help you a lot,specially when you do a mix......+ the new features:you can choose to run your samples from your memory or hdd....+ the plugins are more than great and dont eat you cpu...check their website.
of course,that's my opinion as an ex Cubase user switch to Ableton.

ableton live is really good it supports vstis heavily so thats a plus.
