Top of the Pops: Mix Factory 2

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a composer of pop tunes, then TOTP Mix Factory 2 could be what you need. It is a complete 12-track mixer designed to make it as easy as possible for you to pull samples together into real tunes. The 1,600 free samples included are grouped into Chart, Club and Dance collections. To get them onto the 16 tracks is simply a matter of dragging samples from the main display onto the track list. You can edit samples to get their sounds precisely as you want them, or even record your own if what you want is not already present.

Creating a video to go with your music track is again a matter of dragging elements from a library into the frame; this time you have foreground and background to consider. You can import your own images into the vision mixer if those that are provided don't suit. Once completed, you can put your creations into a playlist and sit back and enjoy them and swap tracks with friends. It's great fun.
