Music mix software allows a dj, music producer, or just someone tinkering with the software to alter music and combine it together or strip it apart in a new and unique way.  Audio or an instrument (such as a solo guitar or drum) is recorded on one track.  This track is then mixed together with tracks of other audio or instruments.

Mixing was traditionally done in a music studio by a producer or music engineer.  Expensive equipment, such as a sound board or audio mixer, made it cost prohibitive to do outside of a professional music studio.  However, as technology evolved, digital audio workstations (DAWs) were developed.  These are portable devices, which are much smaller than a sound board.  They are also generally much cheaper.  By using these advances in modern technology, even a tinkerer can try their hand at creating a dance club mix of their favorite song. This is also what makes it possible for a professional musician to record a track in their bedroom at home, at a city park, at a party, or anywhere they think would provide good background for their music (although, of course, this can be edited out or reconfigured using the mixer).

Music mixing also allows a song to be cut up and reconfigured in new and creative ways.  The software can be used to edit out a guitar solo, add a backing vocal, or speed up the beat for a new club mix.  The software can also be used to create a piece of music in “complete surround” which means that to a listener, the sound seems to completely surround them on all sides.

There are three types of music mix software.  The first is a virtual DJ deck.  This software is a virtual version of the sound board that was used to loop multiple music tracks.  The second kind is used to record a complete song on a DAW, which is then broken down.  During the performance, the audio can be toggled using something called a loop view.  In the third type, the musician records the song using the software.  It is then broken up in to parts and recombined along with backing vocals, more instruments, or any special effects the “music producer” wants.
