Beat Matching Transitions - For Parties
« on: April 28, 2004, 07:06:55 pm »

i don't know if you guys are familiar with such softwares as MixMeister (Free Demo Version) but they offer a really cool transition effect that i wish MC supported: Beat Matching Transitions. It's quite simple and all it does is 3 things:
- Using the BPMs of the current track and the next ones, it changes the speed of both tracks during the crossfade for smoother playbacks.
- It also looks for the best part to overlap the two songs and synchs the beats. The results are 90% of the time absolutely amazing.

So I was wondering if this is somethign we could one day see in MC. Would that be possible?

Alright, I just realized that my description might sound very vague to a lot of people so I made a little mp3 sample. The sample includes 5 songs automatically mixed together. By that I mean that all i did was to put them in BPM order and then applied the "beat matching" option. Btw, that option is real time and doesn't use a lot of cpu.

To avoid having a huge file, I trimed the middle part of each songs. That's where you should hear a short blank.

Also, to help you guys hear where each transitions are, here's a screenshot of the timeline:

Note how MixMeister automatically chose which segement to overlap and the crossfade settings.

The mp3 can be found HERE

Hope this helps

I love this feature. I would definately use this feature if it made it's way into Media Center.
