Just recently Native Instruments (www.nativeinstruments.de) released DJ Studio Traktor 2.0. This is a very similar program to Atomixmp3 allbeit with slightly more professional features and interface....most notably
1) asio driver support
2) decent mp3 codec
3) midi implementation
I had been following this software for quite sometime now and was quite anxtious to test it out. Finally the other day I did and oh my father, what a let down. All the new features I mentioned are great, and it sounds awesome using the asio configuration. Guess what the let down was? the beat matching. Everytime a new 'professional' program like this is released I always find myself running back to Atomix with my tail between my legs. I wont even start how cr@p it is at detecting bpm, syncing and matching.
Ive been using atomix since version 1.0, I even had its predecessor 'Virtual DJ' which was pretty awesome to.
I have tried several 'professional' dj programs in the last couple of years...
BPM Studio
PCDJ Red
American DJ
Visual Discomix
Traktor
Mix Vibes pro
All the above programs have a more professional interface than atomix does, but not the ease of use and certainly not the excellent beat matching system we have all come to love.
So I guess my point of this post is just to give the atomix guys a big pat on the back and good luck with the new more powerfull version. keep the simplicity and stick in a few professional tweaks we would all like to see :O) I love the software and use it everyday.
On a side note im Hopefully implementing atomix into a local club which can hold 3500 (ooer) its in Reading, England. I will post it here nearer the date, maybe some of the UK peeps could come along (trance, hard/acid trance)
Cheers
