Active DJ Studio (formerly called Active MP3 DJ Studio) is an ActiveX control developed by MultiMedia Soft that makes it easy adding sound playback and mixing capabilities to applications written with the most diffused development environments that accept ActiveX controls such as Visual Studio 6, Borland Delphi and Visual Studio.NET (if you develop with Visual Studio.NET, we strongly suggest you considering our new Audio DJ Studio for .NET component).

Thanks to a set of intuitive-named methods, you will be able to perform sound playback, sound mixing and playlists management using the most diffused sound formats like MP3, WAV, AIFF, OGG Vorbis, MP4 (sound frames only), AAC, M4A, AC3, FLAC, WavPack, ALAC and CD tracks. The most diffused MOD formats are managed also and, if the Microsoft Windows Media Player components are installed on the target PC, this component can also play WMA files and the sound frames of ASF and WMV files.

The use of DirectSound allows the allocated players to have a separate control over Volume, Tempo, Playback Rate, Pitch and Equaliser values: visual feedback is provided through embedded configurable VU-Meter, Spectrum Analyser, Oscilloscope and Waveform display.
The configurable automatic fader can easily mix two playing tracks with an accurate fade-in/fade-out.

Special effects can be obtained through the use of fully configurable DirectX Media Objects (also known as DMO) and EAX effects.

Thanks to the integration with FreeDb servers (CDDB), the control can obtain information about the CD currently in ripping phase and, if available on the Amazon web site, the control can obtain the CD cover pictures as well.

Just to have a taste of what can be obtained using this control, try to launch the "Samples" applications that come with our product setup package and see.
