A very good Review
djtechtools wrote:MixVibes Cross has come a very long way from where it was just a year ago. It’s still a software that aims both to make DJing for beginners palatable and to provide high quotient of creativity and flexibility during performance while keeping the interface and workflow clean. It succeeds on both fronts. By incorporating sample decks, multi-effects, new looping features, dedicated filters per channel quantizing and other high-leverage features, it’s got a place in the working DJ’s software conversation.

To become a bigger player, Cross may need to clear up a couple of the bugs that—at least for me—came up during performance, and perhaps align itself with some new, hot controllers. But the several areas in which Cross has even exceeded some of its contemporaries, as with the Beatgrid Editor, Browser Preview player, internal recorder, and iOS remote apps, show that MixVibes is keen on innovation and that we should expect even better things to come.


Yes Mixvibes team is able to win the challenge. Massive updates to CrossDJ are still to come and of course will include new features and optimisation of the software performances.

I am glad to see that now the "outside world" considers Mixvibes CrossDJ as a potential n°1
djtechtools wrote:The Good: Excellent Beatgrid editing tools. New sampling, looping, and effects features. Optional horizontal Head-Up Display. Master out limiter. Nice internal recording options. Lots of interface customization. Straightforward MIDI mapping.

The Bad: A couple of playback bugs during performance. Many newer controllers aren’t supported with mappings.

The Bottom Line: With two 8-pad Samplers, 8 cue points per track, 14 effects, dedicated channel filters, iOS app remote control, and a host of other new features, Cross is attempting to fight its way to the forefront of more digital DJs’ consciousness.

Shame the author found a couple of little issues :(

Nevertheless, a good and honest review.

I already added my comments, which were nothing that I haven't expressed here before. Glad to see that an outside view discovered what we already have been raving about :-). Hope your servers are up to snuff, cause the DJTT guys usually have a pretty large influence over those who are easily suggestible.

I'm pretty sure the homemade mapping for the Stanton DJC4 or the controler himself was what gave him issue with the locators and so.

When a device (cd player/standalone/mixer) also have MIDI features, the MIDI part is not really the same unit, you switch to the MIDI mode (the other integrated device).

Unfortunately, most of the time, this second unit is less polished than the main one and can have issue (even the almighty P does... :rolleyes: ).

Why ?
Sometimes the MIDI part is not really from them, it's a third party works or they don't want to put too much money and effort into a 'secondary' features that will probably masked the main goal of the unit. So beware ! :cool:
