Release management team for Mixxx, the open source DJ mixing software. Mixxx is a free, cross-platform mixing software for DJs, providing features for both new and advanced users. It supports mp3, ogg, wave and flac playback and among the most important features are: automatic crossfading, playlists and crates, vinyl emulation, hot cues, pitch-independent time strech, BPM detection and estimation, multichannel soundcard suport and lots more. Apr 18, 2018 For users upgrading from Mixxx 2.0 or older, we have a few important announcements. First, if you are using Windows, you will have to uninstall any old versions of Mixxx before you can install 2.1 (unless you were using the 2.1 beta or release candidate). How to uninstall Mixxx varies on different versions of Windows. Mixxx accepted for GSoC 2020! Posted on 2020-02-20 by Jan Holthuis. Mixxx has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2020, a global program that aims to bring more student developers into the world of open source development.
Thanks to all of your help with alpha testing we just released Mixxx 1.12 Beta!
We still need your help though! We've got a ton of work to do before we can ship 1.12.0 final. The plan is that the beta will be a rolling release that we update on a regular basis. You have three options to try out these builds:
These build should work on:
Latest Movie ReleaseWe need test results from EVERY OS version -- so if you are running a less common version we could especially use your help. Note: You can run Mixxx 32-bit on a 64-bit version of Windows. You can't run a 64-bit version of Mixxx on a 32-bit version of Windows. If you are on 64-bit Windows, it would be helpful if you could test out both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Please include the following information at minimum:
If you don't know what to check for, try answering the following debugging questions:
If a crash occurs -- you will be super-awesome if you include any (ideally all) of these:
In Mixxx 2.2, we are switching from Qt 4 to Qt 5. Qt is the toolkit that allows us to write one Mixxx application that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. For users, the most noticable difference from this will be improved support for scaling the graphical user interface (GUI) for high pixel density (high DPI) screens. The scaling we used with Qt 4 in Mixxx 2.1 scaled most parts of the GUI, but some small parts like the arrows on menus and widgets in the preferences did not scale. Now with Qt 5, everything scales automatically according to the operating system scaling settings. Latest Release DvdWe have added a new button to the effects units that adds a new mode for mixing effects. Previously, the mix knob always crossfaded between the dry signal (input to the first effect) and wet signal (output of the last effect). This is now called Dry/Wet mode and is the default. The new Dry+Wet mode always keeps the dry signal at full volume and the mix knob controls how much of the wet signal is added. This allows for adding sounds with effects without modifying the underlying track. For example, with the effect unit in Dry+Wet mode, you can load an equalizer or filter effect before the Echo effect to remove bass frequencies from the echoed signal without removing the bass from the track.Mixxx 2.2 introduces initial support for LV2 sound effects plugins. Many GNU/Linux distributions package LV2 effects plugins that can be installed separately from Mixxx. Because many LV2 plugins are not useful for DJing, you must explicitly enable plugins in the Effects section of the preferences before you can load them in the Mixxx main window. Currently there is no way to show the GUI for LV2 plugins in Mixxx. While LV2 effects are technically cross-platform, in practice there are very few LV2 plugins that are distributed for macOS and Windows. Mixxx 2.2 has LV2 support enabled for GNU/Linux and macOS, but not for Windows. There are a few new options in the Waveform preferences. One option allows you to adjust the opacity of the beatgrid lines. The other allows you to adjust where the currently playing position is in the waveform. For example, if you do not want to use screen space for parts of the track that have already played, you can move the play position to the left. As always, please report bugs on our bug tracker. We can only fix problems that we know about. ![]() ![]() Comments are closed.
