The new DJ software from MixMeister, titled Fusion ($329.95), brings the idea of elastic audio to a DJ-specific application for Windows users, providing a horizontal, time-based approach to mixing tracks. Tossing out the two-decks paradigm for a left-to-right DAW-style arrangement, Fusion is designed for performance; by analyzing and syncing rhythmic points within the song's sample file, DJs are able to arrange and rearrange their sets on the fly while keeping everything in sync. This more visual style of creating sets combined with elastic, automated beat matching allows the DJ much more room to think and perform. With all the features you’d expect a DJ to need—VST support, MIDI hardware control, extensive live-looping capabilities, external lighting control, ID3 file tagging support and cataloging and Web-friendly file compatibility—Fusion also offers more modern amenities such as direct-to-CD burning, Web-optimized exports and podcasting, custom skins, 32-bit file support, independent pitch/tempo control and the ability to monitor and edit one section of a mix while performing another.
