Client Requirements:
To create an exhibit experience that allowed the visitor to do a live mix of the original audio tracks of a Shania Twain recording.

A computer is used to play back the individual tracks. This allows for quick selection amongst several choices, instant start and restart, low maintenance since no tape is involved, and the creation of an intuitive touch screen user interface.
