StackTraxx Layered Music Libraries fill a need in the video producer's bag of tricks. This tool combines the ease of buyout music with unprecedented power to remix the final track, without the hassle (or creativity) of a loop-based tool. StackTraxx gives you a different sort of control over the mix than the SmartSound products do and, better still, they let you modify your mix within any video editor without any sort of plugin. Video producers at any level can finally have some creative control over their music without having to hire a studio band. Instructions are sketchy and you should definitely preview the musical styles before you buy, but StackTraxx from Digital Juice take royalty-free music into a new realm.
Contributing Editor Hal Robertson is a 25-year production veteran and owns a media-consulting firm.
