CNET Editors' review
With limited mixing and effects, Tactile 12000 is more suited to amateur DJs and those who want simple cross-fading for their favorite MP3s. The software's 3D interface mimics a real DJ setup, with two turntables and any imported MP3 or WAV file being represented in a stack of virtual wax. Basic effects such as pitch control, cross-fading, and RPM selection are easy enough to use, although those wanting to really mix it up will likely be left wanting more. A limited scratch tool also is available. The $29.95 price tag makes Tactile12000 an affordable and fun way to create MP3 playlists with a bit more pizzazz, but those who want serious DJ tools, such as automated beat matching and looping, should look elsewhere.
Publisher's Description
From Tactile Pictures:
Tactile12000 is a QuickTime-based 3D simulation of a DJ setup, consisting of two virtual turntables and a mixer. It allows you to cross-fade, back-spin, and speed up and slow down music--including full-length WAV and MP3 files--on your computer. It allows you to mix songs, and it can automatically cross-fade between songs stored in your MP3 playlist. Version 2.1 has a new interface, audio-cueing capabilities, pitch bending, improved controls, bug fixes, and more.

"Not Too good."
Version: Tactile12000 2.1
Summary
This program is about a 5 out of 10 for mixing. But for scratching and transforming, it stinks. If you want high quality scratching download the Ots Cd Scratch Program. 100% Free!!!

"Not what I was looking for"
Version: Tactile12000 2.1
Summary
As a first time user of tactile12000 it was hard to figure out what button did what, once i tried it out, the mixing of songs was the same confusing, try ATOMIXMP3, if its your first time or even if you have experience

"For a Dj its absolutely terrible, Get mixvibes pro 4 if you want good software with eq curves."
Version: Tactile12000 2.1
Summary
This software was terrible, the interface is nasty, its bpm counter is terrible its just worthless software to a dj, For dj's they should try out PCDJ Red, Mix Vibes Pro 4.0, Sl1200 Mk3's and a vestax samurai mixer. With dual sound cards in the pc... that is a DJ mixing setup, oh wait thats mine :) peace.
