The Next Level ? 🎵 💿 🎵

 

WELCOME TO THE NEXT GENERATION

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is official: If you’re reading this blog post, then it simply means that you are now aware that the successor to Mega Mixable Live (M2L) is in development, and will go by the name 'MEGA MIXABLE LIVE: EVOLUTION' (M2LE). The purpose of this blog post is to provide as much information as possible about the project thereby giving readers a very good idea of what to expect.

It is safe to say that the world isn't ready. The hype is REAL 🔥.

What is Mega Mixable Live: Evolution (M2LE) ?

M2LE: Welcome to the 'Next Generation'

M2LE is officially the successor to the Mega Mixable Live (M2L) series of musical soundboard apps that were originally published in July 2018 to the iOS, Google Play, and to the Amazon app stores. It represents the 'next chapter' in the development of M2L. M2LE will end up being a huge technological jump from M2L, and this is something that was required in order for the project to evolve. 

The reason the word 'EVOLUTION' has been used in the naming of this title is because it:

- Strays away from the boring naming convention of merely adding a number to the end of a title to denote a higher/newer version.

- It accurately represents exactly what is happening to M2L. It is evolving into something far beyond its initial technological achievements in 2018.

This is a necessity in order for true innovation to be achieved.

When did Mega Mixable Live: Evolution go into development ?

The M2LE project began development in late 2021 at around the same time Metal Mixable Live: Revolution (M2LR) was officially announced. The decision to revive the existing M2L titles had been made, and work had already begun on bringing the 4 year old titles back to the market. 

It was at this time that I also started to review M2L as a whole, and I realised that so much more could be done with the intellectual property. 

I asked myself the question: 🤔 How could I possibly move this idea forward ? What could be done to go above and beyond what has already been achieved ? How can I innovate and evolve this idea ?

Research and Development then began in early 2022, and then something amazing happened: 💡 I realised that for M2L to truly 'evolve' I needed to go back to the original design specifications that were made prior to the 2018 release as well as the original ideas of what the project intended to achieve and work my way up from there.

Doing so was definitely the right decision. 

How different will M2LE be from its predecessor (M2L) ?

M2LE will retain the M2L DNA 🧬 while at the same time providing an experience unlike any other app of its kind on the market. What this means is that end-users will definitely know that it is a 'Mega Mixable Live' title, but the technological jump will be so huge that they will also appreciate that it's in a different league of its own. It will look, feel, and act like a successor in every respect.

End-users can expect the following:

- Themes: Themes are a significant part of M2L, and will also play a significant role in the user interface experience of M2LE. Themes will be making a return to M2LE, so end-users can expect something special in this department. 

- Functionality: End users can expect the largest technological jump in this department. For non-disclosure reasons, all that can be said for now is that existing functions will be upgraded, and various new functions that will augment the end-user experience will be incorporated into M2LE.

- Uniqueness and Innovation: This is a given. There will be nothing like M2LE when it is finally published.

- Music: The focus of M2L was on providing end-users with a set amount of musical tools to inspire their musical creativity. M2LE as you can image will also place its core focus on music, but in a VERY unique and innovative way. The non-disclosure limitations means that I can't say how for now 😎.

- Pricing: M2L had a 2 tier pricing structure:

1) Free with adverts and limited features.

2) And there was the 'DELUXE' version which had full features and no adverts.

M2LE will be moving away from this 2 tier pricing structure. M2LE will be free for all with limited features that can be upgraded via In-App purchases. I feel that by implementing this pricing structure, end-users can decide what features they want, and what features they don't want.

These are only a few of the advances that M2LE will bring to the table 😎.

Does the existence of M2LE mean that M2L, M2LD, and M2LR have been abandoned ?

Absolutely not. Readers who have kept up to date with the official social media account for M2L will notice the following:

- Mega Mixable Live (M2L) - There have recent development efforts to revive this title on all app stores.

- Mega Mixable Live Deluxe (M2LD) - There have recent development efforts to revive this title on all app stores.

- Metal Mixable Live Revolution (M2LR) - An announcement was made towards the end of 2021 regarding this title. While it is considered a 'Spin-Off' project from the M2L series, this does not make it less important. I can confirm that this is currently under development, and it looks absolutely GORGEOUS 😍 right now (In development for iOS, Fire OS, and Android OS). 

What this means is that the existence of M2LE does not and will not affect the availability of the aforementioned titles. They will continue to receive support moving forward.

The reason you will have noticed that a lot of development efforts have been allocated to the aforementioned titles recently is due to the fact that I would like to get all these titles up and running on the various app stores so that I can focus on the development of M2LE. 

What platforms/stores will M2LE be made available ?

Ladies and gentlemen, the decision was made early this year that M2LE will be EXCLUSIVE to iOS and macOS devices. What this means is that when it launches ? It will only be available on the iOS and macOS App Stores for:

- iPhone 

- iPad

- iPod Touch

- Apple Macs with the M1 chip.

Why you may ask ? Well it's simple. When drawing up the design specifications for M2LE, I realised that the iOS development environment provides absolutely everything that is required to push the Mega Mixable Live project above and beyond the next level. It has all that is required to evolve and innovate. It has all that is required for what I have envisioned for the project to come to life.

I initially wanted M2LE to be a multi-platform title. However by the time I did the calculations ? it meant that a lot of features would have had to be left out to achieve a multi-platform release. 

As a true creative, I simply couldn't sleep at night knowing fully well that many essential features will get omitted in favour of multi-platform publishing. 

So I decided that in order for the evolution to truly take place ? M2LE had to be an iOS and macOS exclusive. 

There are numerous and very powerful iOS native features that are required to achieve the vision I have for M2LE. Does this mean that Android OS and Kindle Fire OS are incapable ? Not at all. They are just as capable when it comes to native application development. However I had to make a decision also taking into consideration the userbase of the app: iOS has the largest install base and it continues to grow rapidly. It dwarves the numbers from the other platforms (Amazon App Store is very impressive though). Add that to the size of the company ? The decision was clear to me. 

For Android OS and Fire OS users ? Fear not. Metal Mixable Live: Revolution (M2LR) will still be making its way to your platforms. 

When will M2LE be released ?

As it stands ? The release date for M2LE is TBD. I would advise subscribing to this blog as well as the official Instagram account for the M2L project to receive all the latest updates.

Should we be excited ?

100% YES ! You should be very excited because the M2LE experience will be a huge leap from M2L in every respect. 

As the developer behind the project, I'm beyond excited. Every new day is another opportunity to express my creative passion. 

And while the NDA restricts me from disclosing further details at this point ? You can guarantee that when the time is right, you will all be informed. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is not hype. It is a FACT: THE WORLD IS SIMPLY NOT READY ! 

Stay tuned, Stay CREATIVE, and Thanks for reading.
