FiXT Remix

Last week we updated the genre browsing system to include... well we didn't have one before, so I guess we created one.  

This week we've got something bigger.  You've all been asking for a user/artist messaging system.  Well we're releasing the beta and would love your help to test it!

Login to your account and check your inboxes.  You should all have a message.  Please reply with your feedback and let us know what you want in the future.  Play around and leave my inbox full of ideas.  That's what I'm here for.  

Browse your favorite artists and send them messages.  Just click the "Message This Artist" Link.

Enjoy and keep the great mixes coming!

Heavyocity, featuring members of Damage Vault, has released their new virtual instrument - EVOLVE Mutations 2."

EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 takes music and sound design creation to the next level. It provides 2 GB of new and original sounds for composers, sound designers, and music producers seeking unique effects and textures. Split into four useful categories, EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 delivers powerful and dramatic content in a highly convenient package.

Featuring an all new interface and over 300 presets of completely new and unique instruments, Mutations 2 is more than a 'sequel' to the original Evolve Mutations.

Evolve Mutations 2 also includes the new "Trigger FX" feature. Users can perform the "trigger FX" in real time, radically altering the original sounds with tempo synced FX. Powered by the new Kontakt Player 4, MUTATIONS 2 is a great new tool on it's own or as an addition to Evolve and Evolve Mutations 1.

Mutations 2 is now available as a download purchase from NI for $119/99 €
