Hey guys,
I'm very interested in learning how to mix my own songs...
Only thing is, I don't know which program would be good for me.
I never mixed anything in my whole life, but I can't wait to start learning it.
Therefore I'm looking for a program which doesn't take me ages to learn, but still has enough tools onboard to make some nice effects.
* I regularly hear the words "Acid" and "Sound Forge" (sometimes also "Vegas").
I found the following programs:
1) Acid Pro 5.0c
2) Acid Music Studio 6.0
3) Acid XPress 5.0
4) Sound Forge 8
5) Sound Forge Audio Studio 8.0
6) Vegas 6.0
--> What do you guys recommend me?
Keep in mind, I never mixed anything in my life...
I don't feel like taking classes for 3years (lol), in order to understand the program.
But I AM looking for a program which has some good tools for adding nice efects to mixes.
I hope you can help me, thanks... |

Don't use any of them.
Use Traktor, Ableton, or if worst comes to worst, Virtual DJ does the job too.
There will be plenty of threads on this, search mixing software or something. |

I know Tractor is good for you guys...
But is it also good for a rookie (like me) who never mixed anything before? |

| if you're looking for an easy-to-use program to make your own mixes with, you should check out Mixmeister. |

^^ jeje cool
yeah I'd say try to get traktor or the mixmeister or even virtual dj or pcdj..these will do the mixing for you if you want; you just choose the song order. There are demos for all of those available. |

Ok, I'll start off with MixMeister and Traktor...
But MixMeister has 3 versions (Express, Studio and Pro)... which should I get? |

You could let me know what you want and like and I'll do it for you that's if you don't want to get into the joy of Djing yourself. :)
Cheers
