Toontrack have revealed that they will be releasing EZmix 2 which promises to deliver even better results through a wider variety of features.

EZmix 2 continues to build on the same fundamental idea: having mix-ready effect chains designed by audio professionals only one click away, making mixing music not only easy and incredibly fast, but offering results second to none.
What's more, you can expand your EZmix 2 with a huge collection of optional EZmix Packs, created by various producers and engineers for different musical genres and mixing situations.

EZmix 2 is due for release on 7th February and will be available as a download and a physical product with an RRP of £115 / €139.
However, if you buy and register the original EZmix for just £42.95 / €52.00 before 7th February you can upgrade to EZmix 2 for just £28.95! That's a saving of over £43!
