Mixere is a free, open-source application for mixing audio files. It runs on
Windows NT/2000/XP, and supports WAV, AIFF, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Flac, and Mod
audio files. Mixere is ideal for live performance, and especially for
creating multi-layered sound collages. It's like a rack full of CD players
connected to an automated mixer. Features include:
- dynamic looping and triggering of audio
- automated volume, pan, and pitch sliders
- soft (gradual) mute/solo operations
- crossfading between documents
- snapshots, for rapid scene changes
- unlimited undo
- clipboard support, drag and drop
- variable automation waveforms
- intuitive and easy to learn
- comprehensive help
- low CPU/memory usage
- unlimited audio file size
- no installer, standalone .EXE
A Mixere document consists of a number of tracks, each containing a single
audio file. Any number of tracks can play simultaneously, subject only to
Windows and sound card performance limits. Audio is streamed directly from
disk, so there's no limit on audio file size, and no waiting for audio to be
loaded into memory. Mixere's interface is similar to a spreadsheet. The rows
are tracks, and the columns are properties which can be adjusted for each
track: name, transport (play/pause/stop/loop), mute/solo, volume, pan, pitch
(two octaves), and audio position. Mixere doesn't use much CPU or memory,
so it coexists peacefully with other audio applications. Try it! If you
don't like it, just delete it.
