• Mixman Singles –Included in this folder are the original Mixes from the
Select Song screen, however they are arranged by artist rather than music
style. Additional Mixman Singles that are downloaded from the Mixman
website will also be available in this folder.
• My Mixes – This folder holds the custom Mixes that you have performed
and saved.
• Standard Set – This folder contains some of the same content as the
Mixman Singles folder, but there are also several bonus Mixes in different
music styles that you will enjoy exploring.
Exporting a Mix
Exporting Music to Other Formats
Saving your music as a Mix file is the most flexible option if you want to use your
music solely in the DM
2
environment. However, to use the music made in DM
2
in
other ways, such as creating your own audio CD or making music for the web,
you will need to export your finished music to another format. DM
2
provides the
ability to export your music in a variety of formats. These formats include: PC
Wave (.wav), Windows Media ™ Audio (.wma) and RealAudio® (.rm).
To Export a Mix:
1. Click the “Export Mix” button along the top of the screen. The last Mix saved
will appear in the File Name. If this is not the file you want to export, use the
Windows® navigation to locate the correct file.
2. Select the desired export format from the pull down menu.
3. Click the Save button.
Exporting as a PC wave file (.wav):
The industry standard format for audio on a PC is the .wav file. If you plan to
produce custom audio CDs or import the music created with theDM
2
into another
program, it is necessary to first export it as a .wav file. To export as a .wav file, a
saved Mix with performance data is needed. A .mix file without performance data
is nothing more than a list of sounds, and therefore there is nothing to export.
Make sure you have recorded a performance before exporting a .mix file to .wav.
The .wav files exported by the DM
2
are CD quality (44.1KHz, 16 bit, stereo).
