Overview
Have you ever wondered how the guys doing the dancehall mix tapes you can find on the internet manage to do the cool mixes with all the sound effects and stuff? Or how the operator at your fav sound get those wicked rewinds? Well, the painfull truth is that regardless if you do it with MP3 mixers or with turntables, it takes years of practice to do it right and never miss. And a lot of planning to put even the simplest mixtape together. However, we didn’t want to spend years to learn how to do it, months to configure PC software and days to plan putting a single mix together. Being professional programmers we decided to write a PC software that could do all this through one simple interface. After considerable hesitation we gave it the name Soundman, the term used for those men operating a sound systems, from Duke Reid and Coxone in the sixties, to todays supas like Matterhorn and Mighty Crown. (the main runner up was “Murderation 2.0”, but…. We figure Soundman will stand the test of time better…) Now, will your mixes sound better then the absolute elite of dancehall mixers such as Rakim and the operators of the top world sounds? No. Will they sound as the average internet mixes or your local sound? Probably a lot better! And it took you an hour to learn how to do it! How does it work? Soundman is similar to other MP3 mixers in that it has two player. However, where other MP3 mixer tries to simulate two turntables and a DJ mixer, Soundman is designed from the aspect of user friendliness in PC software. This mean that if you are a DJ Soundmans interface will be new to you, but if you are a PC user with no or limited DJ experience the function of the interface is much more intuitive then other MP3 mixers. Soundman is based around the concept of a feeder list where you queue the tunes for play. Unlike other DJ software, and a real “turntable” situation, you are able to be any number of tunes in advance when selecting, instead of always having to wait for one player to free up before you can select the next tune. Sort of a dynamic playlist. This is really all you need to know to get started. The best way to understand Soundman is to first use it an hour or so to understand the basics, then read the documentation thoroughly (just have to stress that because far to few users do it, and hence use just a a small portion of what is available. Most of the request for new functionality we get is requests for things that is already there, but the users haven’t read the usage guide). |
