We've just released Propaganda 1.0, a new product
which can create high-quality podcast shows with a minimum of effort.
Propaganda lets you record or import voice, music, sound effects & other
audio sources, reorder and edit clips on a timeline, and mix voice
recordings over background music for commercial-quality results. When
your show is complete, simply click the Publish button to upload a
completed podcast to your web site, with full RSS, XML and HTML support.
There's more information on the new Propaganda website at

New music download service Nufonix has contributed
10 "mini-songs" for inclusion in MixMeister products. These
one-minute versions of songs by leading artists are automatically copied
as part of the Express 6 installation, with more songs coming soon as
other MixMeister products are updated. Browse Nufonix's extensive
catalog of unrestricted, high bit rate MP3s at

Calling it "a great package" and "a more intuitive
system," International DJ magazine awards a 5-star rating to MixMeister
Pro 5. Clearly the iDJ editors "get" the product and understand
what makes it so powerful and so unique. Read the review at

Armed only with his trusty pointed stick and a
copy of MixMeister Pro, VJ Trip achieved the highest score from the
panel of MixMeister Radio judges. Entries were played on the Urban Mixx
Show stream, and were awarded points based on a combination of
originality, flow, technique, and dance floor appeal.

We've recently released a simple but powerful
software program called MixMeister BPM Analyzer, and we're giving it
away for free. It's not a trial, it's not a "lite" version, but a
fully-functional tool for DJs. If you're an existing MixMeister
customer, you won't have any need to use this program yourself, but
you're welcome to distribute this tool to friends and colleagues if
you'd like.
We've designed this as a "one-trick pony," meaning it does one thing and
does it extremely well, to give users a taste of some of the advanced
technology available in our MixMeister line of mixing software. It can
automatically detect very precise BPM counts for any song in WAV, MP3
and WMA formats and display the results on-screen. It updates the tag
information embedded in digital music files, and users can even print
BPM reports for an entire music collection or export this information to
Excel, so it can be a great help to any DJ regardless of what software
they might use. It can also be useful for song selection even if a DJ is
only mixing vinyl or CDs (provided that he has a digital copy of his
songs on a PC for BPM Analyzer to read).
DJs can download a copy at no charge from
www.mixmeister.com/download.htm. You can use and distribute
MixMeister BPM Analyzer completely free of charge for non-commercial
purposes.
