Nice pro high end gear like Digidesign&#8217;s Pro Tools, and lots of computers. My little office alone has five computers in it. But you&#8217;d be amazed how often I need to do something very very simple, but the high end gear slows me down.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point &#8211; I have 300 audio samples that I&#8217;d like to use as audio samples for customers, but need to add overdubs for the samples so they aren&#8217;t stolen without payment. To further complicate things, I&#8217;m using these 300 tracks across 5 different websites, making a total of 1500 tracks that need to be layered with overdubs. It needs to sound good, but since it&#8217;s just streaming samples it is not critical to be audiophile quality.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the Acoustic MP3 mixer. It mixes four tracks of stereo MP3 files. I love it. I&#8217;m able to click and quickly import my sample tracks and edit them to the overdub vocal. All I need is volume control to set the levels between the tracks, and a fade feature. Fade is NOT a feature on Acoustica, so my work-around was to let the overdub vocal hang on after the sample track with a plug for the hosting website.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of what I&#8217;m talking about to protect audio:<br \/>\nRap Instrumental with Theft Protection Overdubs<\/p>\n<p>For more info on Acoustic, go to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.acoustica.com\">Acoustic Website<\/a> and look for the &#8220;MP3 Mixer&#8221;. It&#8217;s a free 30day trial, then I think it&#8217;s $24.95 &#8211; a good square deal in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more control, then this isn&#8217;t the software for you. But if you just want to mix together some MP3&#8217;s quickly without firing up all your gear, Acoustica is a nice alternative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got a lot of gear.
