News Multi-mix digital music format launched

Also from the Register:

The Hungarians gave us Rubik's Cube, and now they are going to entice us with DI Music.

DI Music is a new digital file format invented by Hungarian musician Sándor Mester, aka MS3. Call it MP3 on steroids, if you will.

The idea is that throughout the recording process, musicians can explore an entire range of artistic possibilities without having to commit to a final decisive cut. During final mastering, several worthy takes are included, so music fans can listen to one song in numerous versions using a software player.

The artist records the music as normal using industry-standard production tools such as Logic, Protools or Cubase. Using the DI editing software, the different tracks are then arranged and categorised.
