keys to grow or shrink the magnifying window.The Mixman DM2 is every budding DJ or composer's dream. With this funky and compact double deck unit you're just a USB port away from musical heaven. Simply plug it into your PC, chose a style of music, add bass lines, samples, your own voice (this can be embarrassing at times ;)) then re-mix and create your very own sounds.
We spent hours mucking about with this thing, there's just so much you can do - we especially liked the dual independent scratching decks. There's a W.A.R.P joystick which lets you transform your mix with real-time warp effects, a cross-fader, dozens of vocals, beats and effects, real-time control of pitch, volume, panning and tempo - basically dozens of fun toys and knobbly bits to play with, and you can even import your own .wav files. There are 30 pre-mixed tracks to choose from and butcher at will, and over 600 track files to explore. We put together a silly little track in a matter of minutes - if only we had talent it would no doubt be number 1 by now.
One of the best things about the Mixman DM2 is the PC interface which makes it incredibly easy to use. But it's not the best thing - oh no, the best thing is that at the click of a button you can publish your own track on the net! Simply click a button and your song will be broadcast on Mixman Radio on the internet, so everyone can hear your masterpiece. Of course if you want to release a CD you can also export your track as a CD quality file - then all you need to do is burn off a few copies and send them to A&R men in tight trousers. Fame may be closer than you think.
If you want to add vocals to your creation (and who wouldn't), there's an accessory microphone headset available separately.
European Customers - will require an electrical adaptor which can be purchased at your local store.

Customer Reviews for MixmanDM2
Last week I bought myself a Mountain Bike. This week I bought myself a Mixman DM2. Does anybody want a cheap Mountain Bike?!
Pete, London
No one can tell you how good the DJ mixer is until you actually try it yourself. Listening to people's reviews will give you a good indication of what the mixer is like, but honestly you really should purchase one of these amazing sound makers. Everybody has hopes and dreams, you never know - yours just may come true with the wicked feature of publishing your own song. So go on, treat yourself and get one of these really cool machines!
Tom M, Stafford
This is a fantastic piece of hardware for beginners. It is very easy to use, and you really can create your own tracks. Not everything is copyright free, but it's a great piece of starting kit to get you into music production.

My boyfriend is a DJ and I wanted to get him the perfect present for his birthday and I'm glad to say I found it here. It was delivered on his birthday and he has not stopped playing with it, the house sounds like a club every day of the week!! The amount of things it can do will keep you amused for weeks.
Faith B, Bristol
This piece of kit is amazing, download the 2.1 update from mixman.com to fix some bugs.
Contrary to the info above you dont need a power supply also there seems to be some issue with XP SP2 awaiting on results from mixman about this but this only manifests when you try to record your own lyrics inside the program
