Mixed Reaction! – Unleash Your DJ Creativity in Your DAW
Have you ever dreamed of having a full DJ set right in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)? The Mixed Reaction! plugin from Sonic Assault makes this dream a reality. It’s not just a player, but a real virtual studio for playing and recording WAV files in a DJ style. Forget about complex settings – Mixed Reaction! is designed for instant creative flow and audio experimentation.
Designed as a 4-track WAV file player/recorder, Mixed Reaction! allows you to manipulate four different audio tracks simultaneously. It’s the perfect tool for DJs who want to integrate live elements into their sets, musicians looking for new ways to work with samples and loops, or simply those who love to experiment with sound, simulating vinyl turntables and CDJ players.
Key Features and Capabilities
Mixed Reaction! is equipped with a set of features that make the process of working with audio not only effective but also incredibly engaging:
- Four Independent WAV Players: Load up to four 16- or 24-bit WAV files simultaneously. Each player works independently, allowing you to create complex mixes and overlays.
- Built-in WAV Recorder: Record your mixes, scratches or experiments directly into the plugin in high quality (16/24 bit).
- BPM-Calibrated Pitch Sliders: Precisely control the tempo of each track. The sliders are calibrated according to the BPM of your project, and the Bend function allows you to temporarily speed up or slow down playback for perfect mixing.
- Adjustable Cueing in Turntable Style: Precisely find and set the starting point of playback. The functionality imitates the work with vinyl turntables, giving the feeling of real equipment.
- Cue/Scratch Wheels with Adjustable Depth: Use virtual wheels to perform scratches or accurately position playback. Adjustable depth allows you to customize the sensitivity for maximum comfort.
- Automatic Fade/Crossfade with Time Adjustment: Smoothly transition between tracks has never been easier. Adjust the duration of the automatic fade or crossfade for seamless mixes.
- Automatic Player Start at Fade/Crossfade: Optimize your workflow. The plugin can automatically start the next track when the previous one completes a fade or a crossfade begins.
- Manual Start/Fade Position Adjustment: For complete control over playback, you can manually set the exact start point or fade start position.
- Built-in Metronome: Maintain perfect rhythm and synchronization thanks to the built-in metronome.
