IK Multimedia's iRig MIX is a compact mobile mixer that can be used with the included DJ Rig app to mix tracks between two iOS devices

The DJ Rig app has something called X-Sync that will detect the BPM from any audio source and auto-sync the tempo of the decks to match

The volume for each song is automatically adjusted for a constant output level

The iRig MIX also comes with the AmpliTube app, and can connect to a guitar via a 6.3 mm input jack with its own volume level control

IK Multimedia's VocaLive app comes free with the iRig MIX, for real-time processing of a mic input

For digital DJs on the move, the iRig MIX compact mixer

IK Multimedia says that a realistic scratching engine is included that's been modeled on actual real-world deck behavior

The DJ Rig app offers user configurable virtual decks with controls such as volume, pitch, 3-band kill EQ, and cross fader, and instant song play from the device's music library

Musicians can take the iRig MIX to rehearsals or the studio

The device is flexible enough for real-time mixing using a single connected iOS device (where Input 1 is divided into two mono signals), or two Apple gadgets (such as an iPhone and iPad)

The included DJ Rig app is a double-deck DJ mixing app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

The DJ Rig app features 12 DJ effects with XY touch interface (including delay, flanger, high pass and low pass filters, fuzz and reverb), drag and zoom waveform display

The DJ Rig app comes with four banks of nine sample-based pads

Article Summary

Apps that transform an iOS device into a portable DJ system (such as Algoriddim's djay app) have been around for a good while now, but the restricted screen space on small devices can lead to somewhat limited mixing functionality. Budding party disc jockeys can get more control from physical deck emulators like Numark's iDJ Live, but those with an appetite for real-time mixing of music stored on more than one device have now been catered for with the upcoming release of the iRig MIX from IK Multimedia. This compact mobile mixer can auto match the tempo from any type of audio source with the tunes on a connected iOS device, features an extra input for an instrument or microphone, and comes with four free music apps.
