Tactile12000 just caught my eye. At first, it seems rather unusual. Themain part of its interface is quite unlike most Mac applications. Instead, it simulatesa virtual turntable and mixer right on your desktop.That confused me immensely in the beginning. However, once you shed your Macintoshinterface prejudices and imagine sitting in front of a ‘real’ turntable, it actually becomesquite simple and powerful to use. Still, you’d better read the manual to learn about the largenumber of powerful features such as cueing with headphones, keyboard controls for mostfunctions, precise control of the mixer and records, pitch bending and cue points, cross fading,and backspinning, to name just a few. The autoMix feature can do most of the work foryou and mix your playlist together automatically, if you desire. The sound formats supportedare: MP3, AIFF, WAV, and other sound formats supported through QuickTime.ATPM 6.04 ← 114 →Stuff: MP3 Player Roundup (II)
