Nero SoundTrax for Windows

Nero SoundTrax is the perfect tool for you if you ever dreamed of DJing your favourite tracks. Although it is not intended for live performance, many of the principles it uses can be used to produce compilation and mix CDs. Some of the features professional DJ software offers are available in SoundBox and ScratchBox.

Nero SoundTrax can arrange tracks in a predefined order, but it does much more than just run through the playlist. It can:

You can fade tracks into one another, making the transitions between them less jarring. Or, you can speed it up to try to beatmatch between two recordings. Use effects and plugins (both VST or DirectX) to edit the timeline, such as cutting and pasting clips. Control the volume and intensity of individual tracks

Nero SoundBox, a basic but useful sequencer component in SoundTracks, includes a drum machine, text to speech engine, and a drum machine. It can be used for creating original clips that can be used to layer on tracks or to segue between them.

The Nero ScratchBox allows users to simulate scratching and mixing by using a virtual interface. It is more like a turntable setup and will be useful for users who wish to practice their skills in real-time.

Nero SoundTrax allows you to import audio from attached audio capture devices such as cassette players and USB turntables. It can also rip CDs. Its wizard interface is easy to use and allows you to convert a cassette into CD without complicated processing.

You can export your finished mixes in many formats, including 5.1 surround sound for home cinema systems and 7.1 surround sound. Nero SoundTrax supports ACC, AIFF and AC-3 formats.
