About Mixvibes
Mixvibes has been making professional DJ software and apps for 15 years. Downloaded by millions worldwide, its flagship app Cross DJ is now available on Mac/PC, iOS and Android. Mixvibes has also developed Pioneer’s rekordboxTM, the worldwide club standard music management software.
While this release might not scream out some of the sexy features rival software recently had, it’s important in that it not only further cements integration with critical Pioneer club gear, it adds full compatibility with the just released Windows 10 and adds support for a couple more controllers. There’s obviously the usual round of bug squashing as well, to tighten it up.

With all the recent upheaval thanks to Pioneer’s rekordbox announcement, there’s certainly opportunity for other, smaller, DJ software companies to jostle for position. I mentioned in the first paragraph that these smaller companies still offered some advantages. The biggest and most obvious is bang for your buck: for less than the major players, you can get full DVS on the audio interface of your choosing. Got a cheap two channel mixer with digital audio and a couple of turntables? No problem. Serato, NI and (now) Pioneer are able to pick and choose their partners, leaving you out in the cold if your gear isn’t on the guest list.

Do you think smaller companies like Mixvibes have an opportunity now that the industry has had a shake-up?
