Note: New tracks can also be added by right-mouse-clicking on a track indicator
onscreen.
Recording custom sounds
You can record custom sounds that can be placed in any of the 16 tracks. Click
on the “Rec” icon in the lower right of the screen to access the Recording Studio
screen. See the Recording Studio screen section below for specific details on
recording audio files.
Using Mixman Soundiscs™
Although your own .wav files can be loaded into the DM
2
, they lack the same
level of interactivity as Mixman track files. To enable users to create music in a
variety of styles, Mixman has an extensive library of Soundiscs with tracks in a
wide range of musical styles. These tracks have been specially produced just for
the Mixman family of music remixing products. Since sounds use large amounts
of hard disk space, it is possible to load sounds directly from Soundiscs.
Soundiscs can be purchased from the Mixman website.
Recording a Performance
Everything done in the Remixing Studio while performing can be recorded and
saved as part of a Mix file.
1. To record a performance, click the [?] Record button on either the screen or
the controller. Note: You cannot have any tracks playing when selecting the
Record button.
2. Perform a Mix by using the many features detailed above.
3. When you have finished your performance, click the [¦] Stop button on either
the screen or the controller.
4. To play back your performance click the [?] Play button on either the screen
or the controller.
Saving Your Mix
The DM
2
’s integrated system has a distinct advantage with its ability to store all
the information about a song in one file, called a .mix file. These files store the
names and locations of all loaded sounds, any pitch, panning, volume and tempo
information, and any recorded performance.
To save the currently loaded Mix:
1. Click the “Save Mix” button located on the top edge of the Remixing Studio
screen.
2. Type in a name and click the “Save” button.
