I need some help please.

I'm looking for a mixing software that can playback more than 2 tracks/decks at same time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Axer

Thanks a bunch guys! This help a lot!

Just curious, is there any mixer that can beatsync?

Ableton Live does all the syncing automatically. Once the songs have been analysed and "Live-ized", they'll play back at the master tempo. So it doesn't matter if you're mixing a 134bpm song into a 140bpm song, if the master tempo is at 136bpm, they'll both be at 136bpm. As long as you've set the marker correctly so the song is hitting perfectly on the beats, the two songs will be perfectly in sync.

You can set it so that when you hit play on the next track, it'll wait for the start of the next bar, then start the track - easy beatmatching, meaning you can expend your efforts on more creative things rather than the pure mechanical process of beatmatching. If a job can be done perfectly by technology, I say let technology do the job. I don't use candles at home because I have light switches and lightbulbs. To heck with candlelight being more "pure" and "keeping it real". (However, since a number of the world's top djs are using software such as Live these days, it doesn't really seem necessary to defend the practice. Times change and there will always be some die-hards who have learned skills which have now been rendered irrelevant.)
