I might be several years late but I just noticed that Mixmeister is no more!

I am in no way a DJ but I used to use mixmeister for it's ease of use making a mixtape on the fly.....real easy in the drag and drop...mixmeister already knows the key and BPM....automatically beat syncs and transitions to the next song

really easy to use but such a shame it is now gone!

does anyone here know of any decent alternatives? I know there's several programs you could use to do roughly the same thing but I loved the ease of use that mixmeister had

Not sure if it auto transistions but might be worth trying this free software.

Are you sure that it's discontinued? I think it got bought and re-branded a little bit under the music tribe label:

yeah mixmeister have said about 7 years a go that they themselves have discontinued the product and provide noo support for it. I doubt an older copy would run on Monterey M2!

They say it's working in Win10 so you could still use it.

p.s.: I remember using multiquence back in the day to make offline DJ mixes. It could quite possibly be the predecessor of mixmaster. ;)

yeah I don't have windows...and not really prepared to dual boot....am on Monterey M2

they have been bought out it seems, but the new company still sells it, promises an update to work on Catalina but not a word since

Instead of dual booting you could use a Windows VM. As this kind of DJ mixing is not relying on real-time low-latency it should be OK doing it in a VM.

yeah I'm not gonna risk it just for an outdated unsupported software! I guess I'll find something else! hell...I've done a mix in Reason before! no beatmatching or great transitions but...

thanks for your help though!
