Jackson is DJ software that breaks with the past. It does not emulate the traditional
DJ setup but truly unlocks the power of your computer. It is the first dedicated
software package that offers sequencer-style mixing to the digital DJ.</p>
<p>
Jackson allows you to create better mixes and is <b>FREE</b>. Don't spend hundreds
of dollars on a competing package before you have tried this baby. The results will
be better and it won't cost you a dime.</p>
<p>
Mixing tracks in Jackson is a 2-step process. Before you can play a track, you must
rhytmically analyze it. Our BeatMapper tool makes this an easy and instructive process.
Once you've analyzed a track, which you have to do only once, you can mix and manipulate
the track in all freedom.</p>
<p>
Our approach works with all styles of music. Whether the tempo is fixed or not,
your beat-matching will be perfect, your loops will be smooth and your effects in
sync.</p>
<p>
Break away from fixed tempo and linear structure. <a href="downloads.html">Get Jackson
now.</a></p>
<p>
If you're new to sequencer-style dj-ing and you have a broadband connection, have
a look at <a href="supportVideos.html">our videos</a>. They should give you a good
idea what this is all about.</p>
<p>
We are releasing new versions of Jackson 1.x on a regular basis. Check out <a href="newsJackson.html">
the change log</a> for a overview of changes between successive versions.</p>

download Jackson</a> and to those who give us a bit of <a href="supportFeedback.html">
feedback</a>.</p>

Within the context of the <a href="http://ballstolounge.be">Do You Have the Balls to
Lounge</a> exposition, we demonstrated Jackson in the <a href="http://www.atomium.be">
Atomium</a>. This exceptional event left us all very happy and satisfied.
Many thanks to all the people who attended and who helped organizing it. I'll put
some pics and videos online in January.

Jackson 1.9 is <a href="downloads.html">available for downloading</a>. This update
will protect you from editing files, for example in the BeatTracker, that are already
playing in Jackson. Such a scenario led to unpredictable behavior in previous versions.

This day marks the very first public release of Jackson. After months of beta-testing,
we decided that we should no longer keep this secret for ourselves. If you have
any interest in DJ-ing on computers, go and get Jackson 1.0 from our <a href="downloads.html">
downloads section</a>.</p>
<p>
The official release is for mid October. By then, a manual should be ready, keys
should be for sale and this site should be a bit more elaborate.</p>
<p>
Today is not only Jackson's birthday. Both my brother Chris and my girlfriend Astrid
are celebrating theirs too. Happy birthday, fellows!</p>
