Arkade

A gestural audio mixing interface minus the technicalities for young music producers.

Arkade is a virtual mixing tool that turns hand movements into audio controls. No buttons, knobs, or confusing jargon. It’s designed for new music makers, DJs, or anyone who finds traditional mixing methods intimidating.

Using a webcam, you simply show your hands to start mixing. Pinch your index finger and thumb on your left hand to select options. Pinch with both hands to control volume and reverb. Move your hands side to side for panning, and rotate them to adjust bass, mids, and treble. The distance between your hands affects the intensity of the effect. Visual feedback comes in the form of spherical particles that morph with each gesture.

Arkade makes mixing feel intuitive like play, not study. It’s perfect for bedroom producers learning the ropes or for live performers who want to stay connected to their sound while engaging the crowd.
