Here is the review I have written. It should not be longer than 250 words so I had to shrink it to the most essential features.
"Mixvibes Cross Pack
The Mixvibes Cross Pack comes with the Mixvibes U46 MK II audio interface. It is a 4-In / 6-Out soundcard that allows you to use it with the delivered timecode CDs and, with the built in phono preamps, timecode records. Scratch systems had problems while looping because of the timecode quality and this is why Mixvibes invented the Фltimate Timecode CDto prevent Cross from loosing the loop. Additionally you can use Cross with your preferred MIDI controller.
Beneath the ability to loop your tracks in different steps from 16 to 1/8 bars you can set locators you can jump to, play the track in reverse mode or you can use the match and sync options to get the tracks in sync. Using timecode records the new smart anti-skip feature is essential for turntablists: If you are scratching and the needle bounces there is no interrupted sound in relative mode (check the youtube video!). Those who are looking for breakdowns can see the waveform of both tracks in the player and can zoom in or out to find a view that fullfills the needs.
You can use the collection as a master media library where you can add all your tracks and once analyzed you can create playlists and work with them. If you have stored your tracks in a clear structure on your computer you can use the media explorer. The iTunes integration allows you to import your whole iTunes library into Cross so that you can access the complete playlists and all the media managed by iTunes."
