This is how well thought out products look like.
- Really simple and intuitive start. I created my first mashup within first 2 minutes and at all times knew exactly what I was doing
- Inbuilt virality. People will show off their produced mixes to their friends and on social media.
- Actually solves a pain point. How many of us have tried mixing songs and gave up? This gives a sense of creativity while taking care of all the complexity.
Even though I don't know how they'll monetize this, it seems a really well thought out product.
- ehsankia 8y agoNot only that, but the small things like mashing up the song title and album art truly make this a quality product. Here is my first try: Disclosure - Bang That + The XX - On Hold = Hold That https://rave.dj/1F1p4ZS9ipWmYA https://rave.dj/1F1p4ZS9ipWmYA
- jgtrosh 8y agoThanks, that was very enjoyable and I think it would fit right in a world-class DJ mix.
- paraschopra 8y agoThe mix is pretty awesome!
- imdsm 8y agoI tried to give it a challenge, mixing two completely different genres of music – medieval with rap. Amazingly the medieval tune followed the beat of the rap song. https://rave.dj/h3o1s4nrg5d2sQ https://rave.dj/h3o1s4nrg5d2sQ
- adriancooney 8y agoThis is fantastic!
- kart23 8y agoThis is definitely the best one in this thread so far.
- jerrre 8y ago> Even though I don't know how they'll monetize this, it seems a really well thought out product. Depending on how you define product, this is a major show stopper. I'd say a product can't be called well thought out, if it doesn't have monetization thought out from the start. Although there is always advertizing, I guess.. But very nice tool/toy nonetheless!
- philjohn 8y agoAll it takes is a pivot at that point. There are currently 3 major DJ software products - Serato, Rekordbox and Traktor - the ability to quickly throw together a few different tracks into a mashup could be a nice killer feature for one of them to acquire. Or, playout software for a bar - queue up a load of music of a similar genre and have an automix created.

- philjohn 8y agoIndeed - but if you want to be acqui-hired you go for one of the commercial offerings. As an aside, Mixxx is an awesome piece of software, it's not quite as slick as Serato et al, but it works fantastically if your controller is suitably mapped, and is timecode vinyl agnostic which is a nice plus.
- svantana 8y agoI agree, but two major issues here: - licensing will be difficult without a paywall, I'm pretty sure this site is "illegal" - there is no way to keep tweaking manually to correct bad sounding parts etc, which limits usefulness As it happens I work on a similar iphone app called Pacemaker, which solves both of these problems (using spotify login and a bunch of edit tools, respectively)
