We've seen all kinds of cool music software that puts cutting-edge production tools in the hands of up-and-coming musicians with more talent than financial resources or contacts. Hit 'n' Mix Play is one of the most unique and interesting yet. It rips up and lays out your MP3 and CD tracks so you can mash and mix them up in new and dazzlingly brilliant beats -- and since it's free, there's no stopping you from practicing and perfecting your art. It breaks down vocals, instruments, percussion, and even noise. You can change beats, tempos, and pitch; add vibrato and other effects; and record and share the results.
When you install Hit 'n' Mix, the wizard recommends reading the short, PDF-based User Guide. We agree; Hit 'n' Mix Play isn't difficult to use, but it's a bit technical and has its own nomenclature. For instance, tracks are known as Rips. You can keep up to three Rips at once in the Rips Panel, which appears in the upper-right corner when you mouse over the area. Hit 'n' Mix Play has a colorful main interface that is dominated by the program's unique way of visually depicting the various elements of music. The program displays Rips as thick, wavy spectral lines on the main graph, each color-coded by instrument: Clarinet, Guitar, Voice, and so on. Just as it's difficult to imagine what a mashed-up tune sounds like without actually hearing it, you have to see and use Hit 'n' Mix Play's amazing interactive interface to appreciate it. You can move, reshape, and alter notes simply by clicking and dragging. The program's Home Menu accesses the manual as well as updates and About file.
The manual advised us that it can take some time to create a Rip track from an MP3 or CD audio file -- up to 30 minutes for a 3-minute Rip with a single-core processor. Though our system's dual-core CPU made pretty quick work of the conversion, we were glad we'd been advised, because 5 minutes is a long time in cyber-minutes. But that's only the beginning. The real fun starts when you load your Rips.

"Do not install this preogram!!!!"
Version: Hit'n'Mix Play 1.5.7
Pros
There is no Pro for this program!
Cons
At first it promises that you can mix without limitations - NOT SO!!!! It pops up only payed version! Also it cant deinstall which is a major setback for most systems, it will just be a crap program laying on the HDD using space and processor! DO NOT INSTALL!!! I suspect it to be malicious too, but not sure about that!
Summary
If you need to slow down system, and have useless files laying around go ahead install, otherwise do NOT install this! It makes false promises, and cant deinstall!

"Useless Program"
Version: Hit'n'Mix Play 1.5.7
Pros
No way to know for sure but it gives the impression of having isolated all the elements to a song.
Cons
Does not proove its claims. There is no way to remove the identified elements from the rip supposedly without a paid upgrade. Without removal, all this program does is play sounds.
Summary
It appears this COULD be an incredibly useful program second to none. One will never know until rolling the dice and upgrading to a paid version. Considering that this was uploaded and designated as a "FREE" program, the risk is high because already there is evidence of deception. So if the program has already been misrepresented as being free how can I trust that it will do what the developer says it will do? Moreover, there is no way to adequately evaluate the program since all the features claimed are blocked from being used without a paid upgrade. Given that it claims to do what no other program has been able to do, that it has not proven that it can, and lies about being free I do not think its wise to waste time on this.
