MixVibes Producer is an advanced DJ mixing application. If you're looking for an application full of features, and want to connect various turntables and devices to mix through your PC, Mixvibes is designed for you.
As well as controlling CD turntables, you can also play your music files from your HDD. It features everything a DJ would expect - cross-fader, pitch changer, some effects, equalizers and much more. You can have up to four turntables, either physical or virtual, to mix with.
The interface works in modules which can be dragged around, although this is quite clunky, and would have been better if everything automatically resized. There is no reset button either, so the layout can look quite ugly. The clunky interface fits with the program as a whole - it's complex and has many features, but it's not user friendly or accessible. Importing libraries is awkward, and MixVibes doesn't always import all meta data with tracks, which can make finding tracks in your digital collection a chore.
Despite all this, MixVibes does work very well as a DJ mixing tool. Anyone who's at all familiar with physical decks will soon feel at home using this. It's a shame that an application with so much functionality is let down by poor interface design.
It's not pretty, but MixVibes Producer is rich in features and has a great deal of depth for professional users.
