revision history here
AccuBeatMix does not support DRM-protected files such as some tracks bought on iTunes Music Store.
BPMer + AccuBeatMix = perfect parties
AccuBeatMix is the natural complement of BPMer, an automatic BPM detector.
Use BPMer to sort your tracks by BPM, optimize start/stop times and/or adjust track volumes automatically,
then mix your tracks in iTunes with AccuBeatMix.
Beat-Matching ≠ Crossfading
Cross-fading tracks with random start/stop times can be ugly, even if the tracks have the same BPM.
Trimming iTunes to Achieve proper beat-matching is a pain, but AccuBeatMix does it automatically for you. Check our demo below!
Tips & tricks
- Pre-process your play-list with BPMer (included in the license, download separately).
BPMer analyzes each track and optimizes start/stop times so the beat never fades.
- For best transitions, crossfade between tracks with matching or close tempos ("BPM").
BPM is not displayed by default in iTunes.
To display BPM information, check Beats Per Minute in View>View Options.
- Do not leave iTunes' track information window open while playing
- this would prevent AccuBeatMix from switching to the next track.
Questions & Answers
Q: I already own a license for Ask the DJ or BPMer. Do I need to pay for AccuBeatMix?
A: No. AccuBeatMix is already yours and will be activated automatically.
Q: How can I uninstall AccuBeatMix?
A: Remove the file named AccuBeatMix
from Macintosh HD → Library → iTunes → iTunes plug-ins.
