AudioCodex unifies media types for mixing
After an extended beta period, MachineCodex has released v1.0 of AudioCodex, an unusual music and video application. The program unifies iTunes libraries with Quartz Composer, and CoreAudio Audio Units (AU) effects; while the software can be used strictly for playback, it also allows time- and pitch-shifting, along with real-time AU chains. Users can moreover create their own loops and Quartz visualizations, enabling the creation of original art and music.
The software has a 10-band graphic equalizer, and supports "most" audio and video types. Where needed, it can convert tracks into formats such as AIFF, WAV, M4A, AAC and CAF. The software is a Universal Binary for Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, and is a free 30-day trial, or $30 in full.

Nice
This is actually quite a neat app :) Sound quality suffers a bit once you start to pitch shift of time stretch a lot, but its fun.
