New way to create cool mash-ups
MiniMash, a new iPhone application that allows users to create fun mashups and DJ sets using their favorite songs, is now available for download from the iTunes store.
MiniMash syncs with iTunes playlists and uses a highly developed analysis algorithm to scans each track’s beat information. With MiniMash, users play tracks in rhythmic unison with one another, change the overall tempo, set loop points, change the pitch, crossfade, and more. The record function saves and shares users’ mini masterpiece via file sharing, email, or built-in SoundCloud support. In fact, the MiniMash website and blog hosts videos of mashups by MiniMash users from around the world.

Dub Siren built in Max4Live – free download
A Dub Siren built in Max4Live inspired by the one found on Dub Scrolls. A Square wave controlled by 2 independent LFO’s (a rectified sine and a pulse) both with retriggered phase, and a chopper section. There are 20 MIDI CC accessible internal presets and new ones can be saved as a seperate instance or with your track. It was designed to be used Live so it is very simple, very user friendly and sounds just about right I think. For more information just open it up and have a look inside.
You can download it from http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=712
