Tactile12000 2.0Company: Tactile PicturesWeb: http://www.tactile12000.com/Price: $29.95 sharewareRequirements: Power Macintosh with Mac OS 7.5.3 or later, QuickTime, Sound Manager.QuickTime 4.0 required for MP3 playback.Okay, I promised myself to stop reviewing DJ software, but I’ll make one moreexception. 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)
Besides its interesting approach to the 3D user interface, what I like about Tactile is the price.It is actually reasonable for what the program offers. A 30-day, unlimited demo is availablefor those interested. After that, the program’s functions become limited until you register.Future plans for the product include: support for 4-channel sound cards (to use the rearchannels for cue), support for streaming audio (both downloading and broadcasting),enhanced playlist support, playback of CDs, level meters, and the ability to save mixinginformation.AMP Radio 1.5Company: Subband Software, Inc.Web: http://www.subband.com/ampr/Price: $10Requirements: Power Macintosh with Mac OS 7.5 and 3500K devoted to AMP Radio,Internet connection to listen to Internet streams.Why would youwant to listen to aregular radio stationwhen youcould listen to the ‘radio’ onyour computer over theInternet? Well, ok, maybethere are some very goodreasons for listening to a regularradio station, but Internetradio stations arenevertheless pretty interesting.Most don’t have annoyingadvertisements, forexample.AMP Radio is your ‘virtual’radio in this world of virtualmusic.
