DJ Mixer Express is a digital music mixing solution for Windows PCs. Whether you're looking to dabble in mixing for the first time or you're looking for a low cost solution as a more experienced user, this app has got you completely covered.

How It Works

If you've ever wondered what it's like to create and mix music with just the click of a button, this cool mixing software is here to turn your imagination into a reality. One of the first things you'll notice after starting the app for the first time is its clean and easy-to-understand interface that makes it easy to jump straight into mixing. You'll notice the virtual DJ desks toward the upper section of the interface, and in the lower section you'll see the audio directory. You can quickly begin mixing music by simply importing an audio file into the software.

There are a number of supported file formats including MP3, WMA, AIFF, WAV, and even MP4.

Get Access to Pro Features at No Cost

DJ Mixer Express is known for delivering a professional experience in a cost-effective, lightweight package. Regardless of what project you have in mind, you'll impress any audience with the tools and features provided in this mixing software. You can take your creative ideas to the next level with features such as its groundbreaking gain control, visualized wave forms, looping capability, and more.

Each audio file exported by DJ Mixer Express is crisp and clear in quality, and will even satisfy the needs of more picky DJs who value the utmost clarity.

Unleash Your Creativity

With the sound effects library included with DJ Mixer Express, you'll be able to add your own unique spin on any audio project. You can test different effects in real time with the preview function so that you can hear what your project will sound like before it's exported.

Chain songs together in a playlist style with unique transitions that will keep your audience entertained for hours. Social media lovers will also appreciate the app's ability to share seamlessly to social networks.

Automate Your Entire Mixing Experience

Those who don't want to spend too much time tweaking and editing tracks will love the level of automation this app provides. Automatically control variables such as gain, beat mixing and looping, tempo, and more. As the word "Express" would suggest in the software's title, this handy app is designed to help you create jaw-dropping music in as little time as possible with incredible automation features.

Beginner-Friendly Mixing

Even if you aren't familiar with mixing software, you'll find yourself effortlessly navigating this app in very little time. Likewise, DJs who are familiar with physical equipment will find that this software does not deviate too dramatically from real life. DJ Mixer Express will even let you scratch, brake, bend, and mute audio just as you would on a physical board.

Free for a Limited Time

The software remains free for the first 20 minutes of usage, but after that, you must pay a subscription fee to continue using it. For some, 20 minutes might be a reasonable amount of time to determine whether or not this software is ideal, but for others who want to test every bell and whistle before they decide, it probably won't be long enough to make a confident decision.

A Solid Mixing Choice

Overall, DJ Mixer Express is well-equipped to handle the needs of almost any DJ or individual interested in learning how to mix. Every time you produce an audio track with this app, you'll find it hard to not share it with everyone you know.

The only obvious drawback to this software download is its extremely short trial period, but it's likely you'll be able to determine within that amount of time if DJ Mixer Express is suited for you.

DJ Mixer Express is a piece of software that uses digital track decks to mix new creations from existing MP3 files. With this software, you have the freedom to mix how you want.

If you've ever used an interface for an audio software suite before, the UI for DJ Mixer Express will feel quite familiar. On the top portion of the app screen is a collection of the most common and useful tools and functions an audio suite of this caliber should have. There are controls for filters, speed, volume, pan, and there are two virtual decks.

On the lower half of the app screen is a series of timelines for each track that is currently playing along with a complete library of all your music content. The software is meant to feel as close to the real thing as possible, so DJs who have neglected to transition fully into the digital world won't have any issues transitioning now.

The virtual decks behave exactly as physical decks would in the same circumstances. You can even scratch the decks to produce that classic raspy sound. It is a bit cumbersome to have to manipulate the controls with the mouse through the top of the app window, but you'll get accustomed to the change relatively quickly.

Your library that shows up on the bottom of the app window has an excellent and precise search function that certainly overcomes the dull nature of the music database.

DJ Mixer Express wouldn't be a complete mixing software suite if it didn't include a number of professional-grade audio filters. These advanced filters are just the start for the software, however. It also features a number of amazing effects like delay and brake reproduction. To add the finishing touches and help finalize your creation, the software includes a number of preloaded instrumental loops and an auto-panning function.

One issue that DJs of all experience levels tend to deal with is discerning the BPM rate, or Beats Per Minute, of a song. Without this knowledge, it is nearly impossible to seamlessly mix two audio sources. To help with this, DJ Mixer Express can detect the BPM rate of songs so you don't have to worry about it. Even veteran DJs will love this feature.

Perhaps the most annoying feature of this software is that it is a free trial for a full paid version that has the complete functionality of the suite. With the trial version, you don't have to pay a dime, but you also only get to use the software for 20 minutes before the trial is complete. This provides you with enough opportunity to try out the functions and general utility of the app, and you may have time to start your first project, but you almost certainly won't finish it in the allotted time. This might prompt you to upgrade to the full version if you feel the software is worth the effort and your money.

Pros

  • Multiple Tools
  • Well-Organized User Interface
