Feb 12, 2018 Mixvibes, a leader in Digital DJ software solutions, has recently announced the release of it's new DJ software CrossDJ for the iPad. DJ's can now use the iPad with the CrossDJ software to get a.
Mixvibes, the DJ software and hardware company, has steadily established a good reputation for itself, and won’t do its profile any harm with this latest release.
Just in time for the NAMM show, the company has announced a DJ controller, U-Mix Control Pro, complete with fully integrated Mixvibes Cross 1.5 DJ software, providing a complete turnkey laptop DJ system. Mixvibes has also launched an iPad remote control app, U-Mix Remote, to allow its software to be manipulated from an iPad via WiFi. Let’s look a little closer:
U-Mix Control Pro
This is, at first appearance, an identikit DJ controller. Think DJ Tech, Gemini etc. and you get the idea. It has a reasonably standard function set – build-in sound card, internal mixer, 2 touch-sensitive jogwheels, microphone input, and what look like 6 cue settings per channel.
Interestingly it also has a gain control per channel, and it looks like the EQs have kills on them (they have on/off LEDs next to them indicating this as a likelihood).
MixVibes Cross 1.5 DJ software
In its recent upgrade to 1.5, Mixvibes Cross gained effects, hi-res Midi compatibility and an output limiter to ensure you don’t accidentally drive the volume to distortion. It has good iTunes integration, and can hold its own with many of the features of the top packages – as long as you only want 2 decks.
We particularly like the large amount of room given over to the music library.The bonus here is that – like the Serato ITCH controllers, the Torq Xponent, the Vestax Spin, the Kontrol S4 and the new Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller – when you buy this hardware, you get a full version of the software.
That means not having to pay for an extra upgrade should you actually want to use your kit to its full potential, and it also means easy set-up – no worrying about sound card settings or Midi mappings to get going.
U-Mix Remote
Like the Virtual DJ iPod app that we covered previously, this is a remote app to control the software from an iPad.
Mixvibes Controller Ipad Mini
Visually it looks just like the U-Mix hardware, and communicates via WiFi with your laptop in order to provide control over the software when away from your PC.
Whether doing a warm-up set from the bar, casually planning a DJ set from your couch, or letting your club guests have a play from the dancefloor, the iPad remote lets you take your DJing out of the DJ booth.
Remember, though, it requires you to have the software running, so unlike the djay for iPad app that we also reviewed recently, it isn’t a standalone solution.
Conclusion
There is life outside of Traktor, and smaller manufacturers and software developers have some interesting alternatives – this is a good example, as the combination of hardware, software and iPad remote is unique.
The U-Mix Pro hardware looks pretty ordinary to us, but the software has come on in leaps and bounds recently.
Taken as a whole, and presuming the price is right, this looks a decent DJ system for the home or semi-pro/mobile digital jock who wants something portable, easy to set up and use and who don’t need 4 decks. Ableton download operator.
The iPad remote app is more cutting edge, and while it’s hard to think of a must-have use for a remote application for DJ software (after all, DJing is about performance, about standing in front of people and doing a job, not skulking at the bar with your iPad!), it’s cool just for the technology that makes it happen.
Maybe I’m lacking in imagination too – US art duo AndrewAndrew have built a whole DJ performance that involves them DJing using iPads from anywhere but the DJ box!
There’s no information on price yet, but the company will be exhibiting the products at the NAMM show this week.

First seen at Musikmesse 2012, MixVibes Cross is truly living up to its name. Starting life as a cross-platform (geddit?) application, CrossDJ is the iPad version, that aims to cram in as much as is practical into the iPad’s screen, and does so with some clever interface trickery and layering.

CrossDJ – Main Features
A DJing Controller
Thanks to 10 years of expertise in DJing software, MixVibes brings you a professional iPad application including all the main DJing features you need to perform and control a seamless mix. The mixer section includes 2 players with 3-band equalizers, frequency kills, gains, 2 volume faders, a crossfader and 2 pitch sliders with adjustable range (4%, 6%, 8%, 16%, 32%, 100%).
FX Touch Pad and Vinyl Wheel
The interface features 2 deck views: The “vinyl record deck” allows precise scratching and the possibility to cue a track as you would with a regular turntable. The “FX view” features a large X/Y control pad allowing you to explore the full extent and potential of the 13 audio FX. The “FX hold” feature allows you to lock down an audio effect on a precise setting point. These features are the gateway to a whole new spectrum of creative possibilities.
Two Loop Modes
The first mode is the regular loop mode with 8 different lengths of loops varying from 1/8 beat to 16 beats (4bars). The second mode is called “slip” mode. Here, loops are active only when a finger is pressed on the loop. While the loop is active the track keeps playing so that when you release the finger the musical flow is not affected.
Star Features
The BPM analysis algorithm used by CrossDJ has been fire-tested and perfected to the max for the iPad. This analysis is performed automatically the first time you load a track. Once analyzed, the mix is visually assisted with a sync meter and high definition waveforms. Thanks to the “Beatgrid” feature, mixes will be flawless and synchronized automatically. Edits to the beat grid are doable on-the-fly and saved to the collection.
www.digitaldjtips.com: “We think it is a contender for best elastic beatgridding of any DJ software”.
Headphone Monitoring: Split Output
CrossDJ offers the possibility to monitor the mix with headphones using multiple routing modes. The split routing allows monitoring, which means you are performing a mix in actual professional conditions. The default setting plays music directly through the master stream.
Media Management
CrossDJ is stocked with a combination of MixVibes’ multiple award-winning Media Management system and Apple’s intuitive track search paradigm. Media browsing is made through a multi-criteria filter or directly on the full size iPad keyboard. Hence, loading a new track is done in seconds.
www.djworx.com: “Given [MixVibes’] excellence in library management, the iPad version is equally endowed with solid library skills too.”
Sound
CrossDJ is compatible with most popular audio formats including every iTunes compatible format and many more. A pristine sound quality of CrossDJ will be offered through the headphone plug jack and the USB port.
Clean mixes and clear sound is what you are getting with CrossDJ!
“The World’s First Professional DJing App” – Hmmm… that’s some big marketing words right there. There are a number of apps which do more or less the same thing, just in different ways.
Having played a little at Messe, I’m pretty damned impressed. And the video also shows that DJs can do what a DJ is supposed to do, albeit one finger at a time. I think the guys at algoriddim needs to take note – I love djay, but this is hot.
Does this mean I’m going to have to buy an iPad again? Bugger. Looks like tablet DJing may well be coming of age.
