With Music Creator 5, you can mix with a powerful onscreen mixer without a day's worth of experience. Move faders up and down to adjust volume, pan tracks left and right through the stereo field and sweeten your mix with professional recording studio-quality DSP (Digital Signal Processing) effects like Reverb, Delay, and EQ to truly perfect the mix. If you connect a MIDI keyboard to your computer, you can control your mix with real, tangible knobs and sliders through Active Controller Technology.
