Summary: MIXMAN IS BAD! BEWARE READ BEFORE YOU BUY
Review: Extremely poor support. They will NOT return emails. Every file you get from them has to connect to the internet to validate the serial number when you install the them! and it crashes for no reason! I had a few viruses and had to redo my computer a few times... and they locked my serial number out. So for $50 dollars I got a program that I can't use. I sent three emails...NONE of them were answered. Remember, you heard it here first! BEWARE!! This company stinks and only cares about a sale!

Summary: Software good but with one caveat
Review: I am by no means an expert on this type of software as this was my first venture into this. But, as a novice, I have enjoyed using this. It is fairly easy to create mixs in many different genres of music. I haven't mastered all the intricacies of the software yet but am having fun getting there. One word of warning however. I have Windows ME. If you are running this, you may have installation problems. I would go through the entire installation process and when it asked to launch Mixman after it was through, it would tell me I didn't have a valid serial number. After repeated attempts working with Mixman Technical Support, the solution was to say NO when it asks to launch it after installation. Then, when you went to the icon to launch it afterwards, it worked just fine. It was extremely frustrating to get to this point, however. Their technical support, however, was very helpful in offering different solutions to try.

Review: I must admit, the little demo tunes that come with it are very trendy and have good sound quality. I have been writing music with computers since 1988 using a variety of different programs and methods and I must say that for a program which is designed to make it easy for the average chump, I'm confused by it's simplicity. The interface is artsy rather than designed for serious work and comes off like "Acid Junior Lite" if you could imagine that. Yeah, wow - it also burns your noise to mp3s, like most new programs do. You're unable to fold, spindle and mutilate (or "tweak") the sounds the way you would with most music programs, although some basic tweaking is possible. If you're really uninspired to learn music production properly, this would be a quick way to pump out Kmart dance music and call yourself "cool". If this is the way you want to go, I'd recommend you pay a visit to fruityloops.net, as it is a much more powerful program that accomplishes the end result more thoroughly (and does much more than this blunt little tool), but if you really want to do good high-quality music - sell your PC, get a Mac and then get Logic Audio. These little beat-box programs are only toys.

Summary: MIXMAN IS BAD! BEWARE READ BEFORE YOU BUY
Review: I was thinking of buying Mixman Studio Pro. I downloaded their demo version. I have installed, removed, and reinstalled it 3 times, leaving me with a very poor impression of its reliability. My operating system is Windows 2000. I installed it and got no errors. When I tried to run it, it said the EXE had generated errors, and it was quitting. I deinstalled it, made sure I was not running anything else, and reinstalled it. It appeared to install OK. The difference this time was that it said it wanted to reboot. After rebooting, I tried to run it. This time it told me it could not find one of its data files, then it gave me the "EXE has generated errors" message again. I deinstalled it again and installed it again. It did not say it wanted to reboot the third time. It did get the same old "EXE has generated errors" error again, though. Very flakey software! Very poor first impression with MixMan. I emailed their support about the above-described problems. Over a week later, they still have not responded. I DEFINITELY will not be buying any of their products.

Summary: Stay away!
Review: Like the other reviewer from DeSoto, Texas said below, I too am experiencing crashes on a very robust installation of Windows XP. I am a hardware/software technician with over 10 years of field experience and I have a degree in Recording Engineering, yet, I cannot get this product to run on my system. I also have their DM2 mixer and used previous versions of their software on Win98 with no problems. I am hesitant to try their newer StudioXPro product fearing that it too will crash upon launch. They really do have extremely poor support. They did NOT respond to any of my SEVEN e-mails regarding this problem. The only way to contact them is via e-mail. I even considered knocking on their doors when I last visited San Francisco, but their website only shows a PO BOX! Until they get their act together, avoid MixMan. It's too bad too because they have a promising product line. They just don't know how to run a software company.

Summary: Virtual DJ?
Review: Mixman Pro is a very cool mix program. Mixman has come along way since it's last release and has alot of cool new features to offer in this version, such as it's own version of a 'Kaos Pad' which allows you to distort & skew the music in different depths, and you can output your mix to MP3, Real Audio Format, and more. It's drawbacks, which are very few, is that Mixman Pro is very Processer intensive. I have found from personal experience that the minimum requirements will not allow you to run some of the newer functionality in this program. I would suggest atleast a 300mhz Proccsser or better. And it you have a decent video card, change your settings to draw memory from the card while the program is running. You will get much better performance. Over all, it is a very, very cool program and I have spent many enjoyable hours playing with it. Anyone who would like to mix music of any style should check this out.
