A Grammy award-nominated band called Deadmau5 has launched an iPhone app that offers up 10 of their electronic tracks and allows any user to mix and remix every song on the album. Deadmau5 Mix is apparently easy enough for anyone to use, ‘regardless of their level of experience’.
When it comes to music I am a pure listener, an occasional horribly out of tune sing-alonger – but never a musician, a DJ, or a remixer. If you’re a DJ / remixer type though, this app looks and sounds very interesting – and even as a bystander, this one looks like a real model for how much can be done with music-related iPhone apps.
Here’s some of the features listed on the app’s description page:
- Comes with 10 exclusive Deadmau5 tracks
- Create your own unique remixes
- Remix by applying delays effects, rewinds, cuts
- Unique scratch pad lets you touch the music
Wired has a good article up about Deadmau5 Mix, and has a lot of praise for it. It says it is like ‘professional DJ software while being easy enough for anyone to experiment with‘ – and goes into some good detail on what you can do with it:
You can change BPM, control up to four concurrent effects, skip to the next phrase or back to the last one, loop a phrase, and cross fade between the two tracks, or from one to the next. When some albums cost $18 on CD, a $3 album that includes the ability to remix it each time you listen seems like a pretty good deal. And since the tool is so easy to use, it lets anyone DJ a dance party by plugging their iPhone or iPod Touch into a stereo and letting ‘er rip.

You can find Deadmau5 MIx in the App Store now, priced at $2.99
I’d love to hear what some of you less ancient and more musical than me, think of this one … 🙂
