As the thunderous bass from your speakers shatters the bedroom windows your jaw hits the floor and you realize...hmmm... Mixman isn't like any other interactive music program. Budding producers, DJs, or anyone else for that matter, can now remix REAL music - no cheesy cover tunes here. Your computer keyboard is the link to Mixman. Sixteen instantly accessible, digitally recorded tracks (i.e. kick drum, percussion fills, bass and so on) provide real-time control of your remix . Punch in a kickin' beat...pulsing bass flows from your fingertip...jump in with a fill...break it all down for a guitar solo - all perfectly in sync! Lock, FX, Break, Record, Tempo and more!!! Ditch those multimedia speakers, hook the sound card to your stereo, your ears will never be the same... Download a free Mixman demo for win95 or win3.1. It's not a quicktime movie, not a neutered demo. It's the real thing. Once you've been hooked and want more songs to play, return to the Mixman website to purchase the Mixman CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains eight Mixman songs and no mixing time limits. Save your mixes, compete against your friends, enter the Mixman remix contest.
