                                   Mixman

Crack!!! As the thunderous bass from your speakers shatters the bedroom
windows your jaw hits the floor and you realize...hmmm... Mixman isn't like
any other interactive music program. Budding producers, DJs, or anyone else
for that matter, can now remix REAL music - no cheesy cover tunes here. Your
computer keyboard is the link to Mixman. Sixteen instantly accessible,
digitally recorded tracks (i.e. kick drum, percussion fills, bass and so on)
provide real-time control of your remix . Punch in a kickin' beat...pulsing
bass flows from your fingertip...jump in with a fill...break it all down for
a guitar solo - all perfectly in sync! Lock, FX, Break, Record, Tempo and
more!!! Ditch those multimedia speakers, hook the sound card to your stereo,
your ears will never be the same... 

Download a free Mixman demo for win95 or win3.1.  It's not a quicktime
movie, not a neutered demo.  It's the real thing.  Once you've been hooked
and want more songs to play, return to the Mixman website to purchase the
Mixman CD-ROM.  The CD-ROM contains eight Mixman songs and no mixing time
limits.  Save your mixes, compete against your friends, enter the Mixman
remix contest.  Only $39.99 and only available on the Mixman website.

                                www.mixman.com
