Mixman DM2 Digital Music Mixer (04/30/2002)

www.dmtwo.tkby djprotojeex - January 2, 2009

Pros: well it actually can be used as a midi device with virtual dj or traktor if you dont know what your doing. great piece of hardware have had hours of use and fun with this thing. It been a well used piece of my arsenal for over 9 years

Cons: the crossfader. But thats why i put in a ultraglide fader.

Very fun if you can calibrate!!by teejoker12 - January 26, 2006

Pros: Great sound and makes time fly

Cons: Installation was hard to do. No Playlist. Must buy more music.

Lot easyer than using a keyboard.by georgesbak - April 17, 2005

Pros: Easy to use

Cons: Hard to install not enough bottons.

limeted but easy to useby - February 2, 2005

Pros: Easy to install, controler is fun to use, monster of a product with loads of ram and a product like sound forge or any beat maker, cheap, good for beginners with included software, can be used with pros or advanced beginners with other programs. Supports

Cons: Only supports mixman "track" files and wave, No beat or synth programs included, bug sometimes always tell you there is not enougth ram for wave samples. Songs for techno and dnb are dated, house song suck.

fun if you dont lose the softwareby - January 12, 2005

Pros: it was fun and easy to use i liked to mix and use all the features

Cons: i lost the software and i cant use the mixer anymore =(

Useful for scratching!by - January 12, 2005

Pros: Awesome for people who compose electronic music and want some good scratch sounds for their songs without having to buy expensive turntables Very easy to use Ability to import .WAV files for scratching

Cons: Only useful if you use other programs to compose - it's awful for serious DJ'ing and composing since you can only load 16 tracks per mix and you cannot change them as you would with real DJ equipment. The WARP effects weren't too customizable either, alth

ok for newbiesby - January 12, 2005

Pros: easy to introduce to youngsters who want to expieriment.

Cons: if ya loose the software disc, you're screwed!!

Cool toy, with some limitsby - January 12, 2005

Pros: Intuitive interface, easy to get started on and sound good, lot's of availble tweaks out there to get more bang for your buck.

Cons: Need to apply lot's of patches to even get it running, mixman's website only uses realplayer to hear the mixes...yech. DO NOT order a replacement cd from "Vince G" on this board...he will rip you off!!

Easy funby - January 12, 2005

Pros: really easy to use, almosst too easy...

Cons: Wish it tied in with more software....DO NOT PAY "VINCE G" SHIPPINGMONEY TO SEND YOU A DRIVER DISC>>>I WAITED 3 MONTHS AFTER PAYING AND STILL GOT THE SHAFT>>>HE"S A RIPOFF ARTIST...HE WON"T SEND THE DISC AND HE WILL KEEP YOUR MONEY...WHA

Whoever said pros should use this is retarded...by - January 12, 2005

Pros: anyone can mix any song and have it sound good, to an extent.

Cons: It takes no skill to use automated mixing software.If youre looking to get into digital djing, buy a real mp3 controller, not some plastic box with a bunch of cheap buttons and lame effects. If you ask a concert pianist to play on anything but a steinway,

Pros: tyy

Cons: tyey

tried it once, not a proby - December 17, 2004

Pros: I saw it standing and had a go with it, in a store on the way home. Had to press down the inpulse of buying it immediately. But at that prise it"s very tempting not to do so. it is verry straight forward and easy to use.

Cons: There is nothing to compair it with. as far as i know. ( but hey, who am i anyway)an d fairly new. I'd like to know what tiesto for instance, has too say about the thing. Some more testreviews would also be nice.

Great when used with DM2MIDI & NI's Traktor!by - September 8, 2004

Pros: Great product. Just dont use the software that comes with it. Nothing comes close to the design of this product. just make sure you use DM2MIDI to get full advantage of this device. Check out the user forum for this "toy". http://www.dmtwo.tk Lots

Cons: -The software that it comes with. -It's toy-like feel.

It Totally Rocks with DM2MIDI + Traktor + Midi Translator!by - September 1, 2004

Pros: First throw out the Mixman software that come with it. Then get Native Instrument's Traktor, DM2MIDI utility, Midi Yoke, the synth.biz template files, and BOME's Midi Translator. The DM2 is MIDI compatible (thanks to DM2MIDI), and can now be scratched i

Cons: It is a toy. the fader sometimes sends quirky messages. The buttons are at times stiff, and the Joystick is only good for big swirls.

Pretty Nice but still needs some workby - September 1, 2004

Pros: I definately think that mixman is a good product and quite easy to use. Offers a lot of different controls that can spice up any mix. Also offers realtime effects. Some of these effects are kind of crappy though.

Cons: First of all, the scratchpads are very tricky to get used to. I rarely use them. It can be difficult to import your own samples and correctly match beats, also duribility is low. I think my crossfader is starting to go on mine, thinking about trying

Fun product but supportby - August 7, 2004

Pros: i bought this product when i had windows ME and it ran great. i had alot of fun with this

Cons: But when i upgraded to windows XP it says i cant install it and they say that you have to pay 20$ for the cd that does support it.....*** s that, if you already own their productit should be free. these people are so cheap.

Here are the driversby - August 1, 2004

Pros: For those of you that missed it: the old version of dm2midi contains the dm2 drivers and tools for calibration, etc. You don't need the 2k XP update for this to work. I'm using it on windows2000 as I type this. Just install the new dm2midi over this aft

Cons:

Have all drivers + other stuffby - July 8, 2004

Pros: Hello All I have the original CD Just got it from the original vendor..They charged me $20.00 ! The *******'s..well I got it and the files are 489MB ! If anyone needs it email me I will send you a copy , all I ask is you to pay shipping since I have alrea

Cons:

scratching funby - June 25, 2004

Pros: fun, easy to use, fast start

Cons: had to download new driver to get it to work. When scratching, it doesn't stop the sound you are scratching, that sound keeps playing. Bummer, because that would be useful (but difficult to incorporate, I suppose)

Great except when u lose driversby - May 29, 2004

Pros: This product was ok ..except when I lost the driver cd..then the site doesn't even let you download them !

Cons: They are real jerks to customers...Please anyone have the drivers..send it to me at pcright@se.rr.com I will send you free mixing software :)

What to Doby - January 25, 2004

Pros: Yes, this is a toy, but it's bounds are only the one's you place on it yourself. i might be a little more optomistic about this because i have been using it with traktor and DM2MIDI controller. the only issue i have is that you have to press the middle bu

Cons: there are limitations though such as how the buttons are set up and the issue with scratching as mentioned above. also, some better software and midi controlled knobs wouldn't hurt it as well

It's not a bad little toy. It's more like a really simplistic MPC than turntables.by - January 2, 2004

Pros: More like a MPC than turnables..but you will be surprised what you can really do wth it when you know what you're doing and how the machine really works. The dm2 is great for remixing and really simple beat making. If you're looking to be a scholar deejay

Cons:

Its Aiite Fer Startersby - December 4, 2003

Pros: Easy to use, fun to use. hook up an external beat source to the mic input and you can sample your own beats.

Cons: difficult to create accurate bpms and loops. lost my software. can't download it anywhere... no use now.

Alternative uses are far greaterby - August 3, 2003

Pros: it _IS_ midi compatable - with a midi junctioning tool such as midi yoke (free software), and DM2TOMIDI (free software), the DM2 can be used as a midi controller through a usb port. I have successfully gotten my DM2 to control fruityloops studio 4, trakto

Cons: The company that produces it, mixman, is a money-grubbing, good-for-nothing company, that asks rediculous prices for their trash limiting software. The standard software that comes with the DM2 isn't even worth installing. Much tweaking must be done to ma

TOYS R WHAT YOU MAKE OF Mby - August 27, 2002

Pros:

Cons:

Review: Hello, Im usually none vocal bout things... but to all you guys out who dont have the bux for expensive equipment please dont be discouraged by some of the negative responces about the DM2. This could be a powerful instrument if implemented correctly. The effects are a blast and the controll knob is pretty ingenious. The scratch wheels r cool also, but there is no volume control, so sometimes you have to go a little easy. The fader is weak but this ting is plastic,so what do you expect? As far as importing wav files it gets a little tricky,they dont loop properly and this is what usually makes ppl want to chuck the DM2 out. I have found that DM2 works best for me using recycle 1.7....meaning take a wav into recycle and export to a .trk file @ 8 bars, and you should have a perfect loop. wav if left alone and not treated will have a open space at the end and not loop properly (at least to my experience). Ive found you get can pretty experimental with DM2 just given some time. So if you dont have the dough or want to save this, "TOY" is great especially coupled with a laptop

Pros:

Cons:

Review: The scratching on this machine leaves a fair bit to be desired. The sound being scratched will 'move around the ring' making it impossible to get it right everytime. With tape marks on the ring it is obvious that the sample is not staying in the same position. (perhaps they are emulating a needle skipping your vinyl tracks?? yeah, great...) I have had a fair bit of fun with this product however, and the build quality is good.
