August 24, 2000Beatnik, Inc., a leader in interactive
audio technologies and content for the Web and digital devices, today
announced the availability of Mixman StudioPro 4.0, the popular
consumer DJ remixing software designed for the music hobbyist. Mixman
StudioPro 4.0 for the PC is now available for purchase online at
http://www.mixman.com and in retail stores nationwide including CompUSA,
Best Buy, Fry's Electronics and MicroCenter. Online retailers are
expected to carry the new version of Mixman StudioPro 4.0 in early Fall
2000. Mixman StudioPro 4.0 allows music fans to create, perform and publish
personalized music from concept to completion using an enhanced suite of
professional remixing tools. The tools include Remixing Studio for
real-time performance-based remixing, FX Studio for manipulating
component sounds, Editing Studio for precision composition and Recording
Studio to add personalized sounds into each mix. Also, for the first
time, users are now able to export their sound-sets using Beatnik's own
Rich Music Format (RMF), which provides a real-time listening experience
that doesn't require streaming. Mixman StudioPro 4.0 represents the
first-ever product that couples Mixman's music authoring technology with
Beatnik's RMF technology.
"Mixman StudioPro 4.0 is the perfect solution for people that not only
want to create new music, but also self-publish and connect with the
existing global Mixman online community," said Josh Gabriel, chief of
consumer products, Beatnik, Inc. "Our ongoing partnerships with major
record labels keeps a steady stream of Mixman Singles for consumers to
download and remix themselves, allowing each user to manipulate and
record their favorite music in ways they've never experienced. It's the
ultimate personalization of music."
Mixman StudioPro 4.0's new functionality also allows music fans to
upload their creations to their own personalized home page on the Mixman
site called My Mixzone. My Mixzone is personalized specifically for
each user to post their creations, invite friends to listen and remix
their own versions of sound-sets online. In addition, My Mixzone has
photo capabilities, interchangeable skins and a map indicating the
user's country of origin.
The Mixman software line enables fans to collaborate with other fans and
artists online. Mixman provides mainstream music fans, hardcore music
hobbyists and artists a powerful new creation and distribution suite
from which to self-publish, trade and personalize versions of popular
songs and original works - building a personally vested and powerful
online music community.
Mixman StudioPro 4.0, as with all Mixman Studio software, gives users
the ability to remix Mixman Singles, which are downloadable track files
from artists, remixers and producers from around the world. Artists
provide master tapes, which are then converted to the individual sound elements in Mixman TRK (track) files. Singles are easily loaded into
the software program so that users can create personalized versions of
their favorite songs.
Mixman StudioPro 4.0 comes with an expanded library of sounds including
guitars, drums, vocals and keyboards that can be used to create original
songs. Also available are Soundiscs, supplemental libraries that give users an even broader range of selections. These triple-format sample
CDs are designed to work with Mixman Studio and StudioPro. Each sound
comes in Audio, TRK and WAV file formats to ensure that users have
access to the right format for the job.
From music hobbyists to working DJs, music enthusiasts of all levels
can explore, shape and arrange sounds easily, as well as create entirely
new musical works. Mixman StudioPro 4.0 has a suggested retail price of
$89.95. For more information, visit the Mixman web site at www.mixman.com. |
