Google Summer of Code 2013 Projects!

2013-05-29T23:14:00.001+01:00

The Summer of Code is upon us! Google has just announced which students Mixxx has accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2013 program. Students were competing for one of four slots awarded to Mixxx by Google. This year we received a high volume of applications from many skilled students which made the decision-making process very difficult.

After over two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2013:

Wei Xin from Dalian University of Technology in Liaoning, China
Carl Pillot from The New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, USA
Nazar Gerasymchuk from Taras Shevchenko University in Kiev, Ukraine
Chris Johnson-Roberson from Brown University in Rhode Island, USA

Wei Xin will build a community-powered controller mapping portal. This will allow Mixxx users to download the latest controller presets for their devices, rate and comment on presets, and share their own presets with the community. All of this will be possible from within Mixxx!

Carl Pillot will build a loop recorder for live remixing. This will allow DJs to record samples from their live mix and play them back live, providing them with yet another opportunity to get creative with their performances.

Nazar Gerasymchuk will re-design Mixxx's database concurrency model to fix a long-standing issue Mixxx has with locking the GUI for database queries. This should make the Mixxx interface smoother than ever!

Last but not least, Chris Johnson-Roberson will build an intelligent track suggestions feature which aims to helps DJs with the most important choice there is in DJing: what to play next.

This summer's Google Summer of Code projects will be a huge step forward for Mixxx both in functionality and polish. We can't wait to get these students integrated into the Mixxx community and get their work into a release. The 4 will be mentored by our mentoring team: RJ Ryan, Max Linke, Daniel Schürmann, Owen Williams, Sean Pappalardo, and Albert Santoni. As always, we're very grateful for Google's generosity in enabling this work.

Meanwhile, the Mixxx team is working full-speed ahead on Mixxx 1.12, which we hope to release by Christmas 2013. Look for an alpha release in the near future!

Mixxx 1.11.0 Is Here!

2013-05-09T17:56:00.000+01:00

The wait is finally over. After over a year of hard work, the Mixxx development team is pleased to present Mixxx 1.11.0!

Download Mixxx 1.11.0 Now

Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Here's the skinny on all the new features in Mixxx 1.11.0:

Colored, 3-band Waveforms

Don't miss a beat. These waveforms make every kick, snare, and thumping beat stand out.

Brand New Beat Detector

With a brand new beat detection system based on the latest academic research at Queen Mary University, Mixxx's beat detection is now deadly accurate. This means your loops, hotcues, and beatsyncing will be spot-on.

HID and Bulk Controller Support

Mixxx now supports non-MIDI devices using its powerful scripting system.
Mixxx 1.11.0 comes with HID presets for the following devices:

EKS Otus
Traktor Kontrol F1
Hercules DJ Console Mk1
Hercules DJ Console Mk2
Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2 (driver no longer necessary on Linux)
Nintendo Wiimote
Pioneer CDJ 850/900/2000
Sony SixxAxis

Session History

Whether you need to report your setlists to ASCAP or just remember the tracks you played last night, the new Session History feature keeps track of every tune you drop so that you don't have to.

Beatloop Rolls

This stunning new effect works just like a beatloop except when you release the button the deck jumps to where it would have been if you hadn't started the loop. Try it out by right-clicking on a beat-loop button.

Preview Deck

A highly-requested feature, the new preview deck allows you to preview tracks in your headphones without having to load them into a main deck. Just click preview on any track in the library and it will start to play in your headphones.

Advanced Search

The library search box received some much-needed love. Try out these example queries:

bpm:100-120 rating:>4

All tracks between 100 and 120BPM with rating greater than 4.

artist:"Aphex Twin"

All tracks with "Aphex Twin" in the artist column.

genre:electro bpm:>115

All Electro tracks with BPM greater than 115.

For full details, see the Mixxx manual.

Improved AutoDJ

Now you can customize the crossfade period, re-queue tracks instead of removing, and more.

Point-and-Click MIDI Mapping

Getting your controller mapped is now easier than ever. Just click on the button or knob you want to map in Mixxx and then wiggle the control on your MIDI controller to wire it up.

New Sample Grid skin

With 16 sample decks, this skin is perfect for radio DJs and advanced beat-jugglers alike.

Time Widgets

Skins now show the time so you can keep your eye on the clock while in full-screen.

Sample Deck Improvements

Sample decks now have sync buttons.
When there is room skins now include more sample decks.

New and Improved User Manual

Not sure what that knob does? Read the fine manual!

Mixxx 1.10.1 for Mountain Lion

2012-08-04T12:52:00.000+01:00

With the recent release of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, all Mac applications are required to be signed by a developer registered with Apple, otherwise it won't work out-of-the-box. This new feature in Mountain Lion is called Gatekeeper, and gives Apple a way to stop spyware and other nasty stuff from spreading.

Because of this, we recommend keeping Gatekeeper enabled, and we've produced an updated build of Mixxx 1.10.1 that's signed so it should work on Mountain Lion:

Download Mixxx 1.10.1 for Mac OS X Mountain Lion

In the near future, we'll be working to change our release process so all packages are signed, meaning there won't be a specific version for Mountain Lion. Thanks to our build server, we're now able to create Mixxx releases automatically, but it still requires a fair amount of work to keep it working because Mixxx changes so fast. It's also a bit of a headache to distribute our packages to all of our mirrors, so we'll try to improve that as well.

In the meantime, enjoy, and please file bugs if you run into any problems on Mountain Lion!

Mixxx 1.10.1 Released!

2012-06-30T01:38:00.000+01:00

Today we are pleased to announce Mixxx 1.10.1, our latest stable release.

Download Mixxx 1.10.1 Now

Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Mixxx 1.10.1 is a bugfix release that fixes some minor issues that have come up since the Mixxx 1.10.0 release. To see the full list of fixes, check our 1.10.1 milestone on our bug tracker.

What's next for Mixxx?

The Mixxx team is hard at work getting Mixxx 1.11.0 ready to launch. Among the new exciting features in 1.11.0 are:

Colored, 3-band waveforms.
Massively improved beat detection system. No more adjusting your beatgrids!
Improved AutoDJ support.
A session history feature for keeping track of what you play in your sets.
HID controller support.
Point-and-click MIDI mapping.
Advanced search in the library.

If you're feeling particularly brave and would like to try out a beta of Mixxx 1.11.0, mosy on over to the Mixxx forums and try it today!

Calling all Turntablists!
We worked hard to make sure that our vinyl control support is the best out there. How does Mixxx 1.10.1 compare to your current software for your scratching and turntablist needs? We want to hear from you! Please send us feedback, file a bug, write us an email, post to the forums, or chat with us.

Google Summer of Code 2012 Projects!

2012-04-23T20:00:00.000+01:00

The Summer of Code is upon us! Google has just announced which students Mixxx has accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2012 program. Students were competing for one of four slots awarded to Mixxx by Google. This year we received a high volume of applications from many skilled students which made the decision-making process very difficult.

After over two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2012:

Matthew Mikolay from Rutgers University in the United States
Max Linke from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in Germany (irc nick: kain88)
Scott Stewart from the University of California, Berkeley in the United States (irc nick: smstewart)
Varun Jewalikar from the University of Pompeu Fabra in Spain (irc nick: neo01124)

Matthew Mikolay will build a pass-through mode for vinyl-control users. This will allow DJs to seamlessly use Mixxx with their vinyl or CD collections alongside their digital collections.

Max Linke will work on improving the Mixxx library by adding a preview player, multiple library paths, and more.

Scott Stewart will pick up where a previous GSoC project left off by enhancing our AutoDJ feature to mix more like a DJ rather than just cross-fading tracks. Here's to robots imitating DJs instead of DJs imitating robots!

Last but not least, Varun Jewalikar will bring harmonic mixing features to Mixxx. This includes automatic key detection using open-source key detection libraries, the ability to pitch-shift tracks on the fly, key-sync, support for multiple key notations, and more.

This summer's Google Summer of Code projects will be a huge step forward for Mixxx both in functionality and polish. We can't wait to get these students integrated into the Mixxx community and get their work into a release. The 4 will be mentored by our mentoring team: RJ Ryan, Bill Good, Daniel Schürmann, Owen Williams, and Albert Santoni. As always, we're very grateful for Google's generosity in enabling this work.

Meanwhile, the Mixxx team is working full-speed ahead on Mixxx 1.11, which we hope to release in early June. At this point all the new features are complete and we're fixing bugs. Look for a beta release in the near future!

Google Summer of Code 2011 Projects!

2011-04-25T19:13:00.014+01:00

The Summer of Code is upon us! Google has just announced which students Mixxx has accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2011 program. Students were competing for one of three slots awarded to Mixxx by Google. This year we received a high volume of applications from many skilled students which made the decision-making process very difficult.

After over two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2011:

Bill Good from Oklahoma State University in the United States
Bart Verstrynge from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium
Qifan Xi from the University of Waterloo in Canada

Qifan Xi's project will involve building a smarter search feature into the library. For example, a context aware search could allow DJs to easily search for tracks that have similar BPMs to the song that's currently playing.

Bart Verstrynge's project will be to build a DJ session history into the library, so that DJs can easily recall playlists of their past DJ sets. This would be useful for radio DJs who are required to document the music that they play and for DJs who wish to post their tracklists on the web.

Bill Good will work to further decouple the Mixxx user interface from the audio engine. The goal will be to rework the boundary between these two parts of our codebase so that animations can be processed independently of audio, which lead to smoother animations and a more consistent user experience across different hardware.

We're very excited for Bill, Bart, and Qifan to work with us this summer. These projects each have the potential to add extra functionality and polish to Mixxx, and we're very grateful for Google's generosity in enabling this work. The 3 will be mentored by RJ Ryan, Tobias Rafreider, and Phil Whelan. Hopefully by the end of the summer we'll have some hot new features for you to play with!

Meanwhile, the Mixxx team is working full-speed ahead on Mixxx 1.10, which we hope to release in May. At this point all the new features are complete and we're fixing bugs. Look for a beta release in the near future!

Mixxx Debuts as #1 Free App in the Mac App Store

2011-02-20T05:43:00.000Z

How are you doing up there, Angry Birds?

In less than 48 hours since we went live, Mixxx has become the #1 Top Free App in the USA, Germany, and Italy. We're also one of the top 3 Apps in Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, and the UK.

We're completely overwhelmed by the response - I don't think anyone saw this coming. We wanted to be in the Mac App Store to reach more users, and now we're reaching far more than we ever expected!

I'd like to thank our entire community of DJs, artists, and developers for their dedication and cooperation that have brought Mixxx this far. Without the devotion of many individuals, Mixxx would not be the software it is today.

Mixxx 1.9.0 adds several major new features including Shoutcast support, direct deck outputs for external mixers, and ReplayGain normalization. We've also added many enhancements to the library, a revamped default skin, and more!

Some of the new features added since our last major release are:

Shoutcast / Icecast support

Mixxx can now broadcast over the internet (heavily requested feature)

External Mixer Support

The new Sound Hardware preferences pane allows you to route each playback deck separately, which allows you to use Mixxx with an external mixer.

ReplayGain normalization

A user from our forum worked closely with our developers to fully implement volume normalization, including performing the ReplayGain analysis for tracks which are not tagged.

Waveform Gain

The scrolling waveforms now scale according to the channel gain for better visual feedback.

Key lock buttons

Formerly known as "pitch-independent time stretch", there are now easily accessible key-lock buttons for each for deck.

Revamped default skin

Since the original source material for the Outline Netbook skin was lost eons ago, our artist completely redid it from scratch and tweaked it for better visibility. The new skin has also added EQ kill switches.

HSS1394 support (Windows, OS X)

Mixxx now supports firewire HSS1394 MIDI devices such as the Stanton SCS.1 series.

Improved FLAC support

We're now using libFLAC directly for smoother FLAC decoding.

Revamped metadata parsing

Integration of TagLib allows Mixxx to parse more metadata from songs, and do it more consistently.

Metadata writing

Mixxx can now write changes in song metadata back to disk. This feature is off by default, and can be enabled in the Library preferences pane.

Millisecond time display

The time counters in Mixxx now have an extra millisecond display.

Library improvements:

Played column - The library now indicates whether a song has been played in the current session already, and also counts the total number of times the song has been played.
Ratings column - 5 stars, no stars, or anywhere in between.
Better search - Search now searches in more columns, and by-term instead of by-phrase.
Revamped iTunes integration - A rewrite yielded a significant speedup of iTunes parsing.
Faster library scanning - The library scanner should perform much better on large libraries.
Inline Editing - Double click any item in the track table to edit its contents.
Recording to MP3/Ogg - Now your recordings can be saved in either MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis format.

New MIDI mappings:

Vestax Typhoon
Vestax Spin
Hercules DJ Console Mk4
Numark MIXTRACK
Pioneer CDJ-350

Updated MIDI mappings:

Hercules DJ Control MP3
Hercules DJ Control e2
Hercules DJ Control Steel
Hercules MK2
Vestax VCI-100
Reloop Digital Jockey 2
M-Audio Xponent

Tons of bug fixes and performance improvements!

Mixxx 1.9 Now Available in the Mac App Store

2011-02-18T07:06:00.003Z

The Mixxx Development Team is pleased to announce that Mixxx 1.9 is now available for Mac OS X through the Mac App Store!

We're excited to be one of the first open source applications in the Mac App Store, and grateful for the opportunity to share Mixxx with an even wider audience. This new release brings improved iTunes integration, and exclusive to the App Store, a new audio decoder that harnesses Core Audio to bring M4A playback support to Mixxx.

A full release announcement including a list of changes included in 1.9 will be posted in the next few days, as we're still finalizing Windows and Linux packages. We're also putting our build server to good use these days, and will have an update on that project soon. Stay tuned!

Build Server Fundraiser a Success - Thank You!

2010-12-24T20:37:00.000Z

Wow.

Over the past 3 months, we've been raising money to purchase a build server to help us speed up our development cycle, and the response has been overwhelming.

We've raised more money in 3 months than we've received in donations since Mixxx was started in 2003, and for that, we'd like to thank the 43 Mixxx fans who generously donated to our cause, and our broader community for helping spread the message.

Your gracious donations will help ensure Mixxx can continue to grow and provide the open source community with great DJ software. On behalf of all Mixxx contributors, thank you!

We'll post an update on the build server project as we get our hardware and software configurations together. We've got work to do!

Mixxx T-shirt contest

2010-12-24T18:29:00.067Z

OK everyone.

The submissions for the T-shirt contest are below. Unfortunately, it seems most of you are much more interested in buying a shirt rather than designing one, so we have only two entries, only one of which is an original design. That said, it's great design, and so we'd like to congratulate Joe Colosimo for his winning entry!

Because one of our developers is going get some stock and handle t-shirt orders for us, we'd still like to know if just a plain Mixxx logo would be a more popular choice. So please take a look at the designs below and cast your vote!

Voting is open until January 10th.

Without further ado, the entries. (Click on each for a larger version.)

Entry #1 (Default):

Entry #2 (Design by Joe Colosimo):

Thanks for your attention!

Mixxx 1.9.0 Beta1 and 1.8.2 Released!

2010-12-06T00:32:00.003Z

Hot off the heels of 1.8.1, the Mixxx development team is pleased to announce the release of Mixxx 1.9.0 Beta1!

Download Mixxx 1.9.0 Beta1 and 1.8.2

This public beta is intended to give (brave) Mixxx users a chance to try out some new features and help us find bugs. We do not recommend using beta software for live performance because there will be bugs. You can help improve Mixxx by reporting any bugs you find.

Important: Mixxx 1.9.0 beta1 will upgrade your library to a new format. This will make it incompatible with Mixxx 1.8.1. In order to try out Mixxx 1.9.0 beta1 you should upgrade to Mixxx 1.8.2, which we are also announcing today. You can switch back and forth between Mixxx 1.9.0 and Mixxx 1.8.2 with no trouble.

Fundraiser

We're making great progress on our 1.9.0 Build Server fund, but we still need your help! This project will finance a dedicated build server that we will use to create nightly builds and automate our release process. This means the development team will have way more time to focus on making Mixxx better instead of dealing with packaging. Money raised will go to cover the cost of the server, and any leftover money will cover other ongoing expenses like web hosting, and otherwise help keep Mixxx rocking!

New Ubuntu PPAs
We've moved our official Mixxx repository for Ubuntu to a new PPA to increase security. The old repository is still online for now, but Ubuntu users will have to follow the instructions on our downloads page (click the Ubuntu download link) to get the new versions of Mixxx we've just released. There's also a separate Mixxx betas PPA, for brave souls.

Bugs

We depend on feedback from our users to guide Mixxx's development, so please file any bugs you find in this beta release on the Mixxx bug tracker. If you don't file a bug for the beta, don't be surprised when it isn't fixed in the final version!

Join Mixxx!

Mixxx 1.8.1 Released!

2010-10-18T22:00:00.002+01:00

The Mixxx team is pleased announce the release of Mixxx 1.8.1!

Mixxx is free, open source software for performing live DJ mixes. Developed by a diverse community of DJs, Mixxx is a complete replacement for a conventional "turntables and mixer" DJ setup, and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Mixxx 1.8.1 is now available on our downloads page.

This release is a recommended upgrade for all users of Mixxx 1.8.0, and addresses some important bugs:

Reduce glitches on track load (major improvement for some users)
Waveform generation speed drastically improved on Windows
Stability fix when using vinyl emulation
Adjustable EQ shelves can no longer be equal
UTF-8 fixes for Rhythmbox track source
Fixed duplicate promotional tracks from appearing in library
Fixed MIDI learning wizard on OS X
Fixed minor delay in setting hot cues with MIDI controllers during playback
BPM tap activates on mouse-down instead of mouse-up.
Read ID3 tags in FLAC files on Windows
Reduce crackling during playback for some Windows users

If you're upgrading from Mixxx 1.7.2, be sure the check out the large list of improvements made in Mixxx 1.8.0.

We're happy to report that we've made great progress with our build server fundraiser, but we still have a ways to go! We're looking to purchase a build server in order to help us speed up our development cycle. With a build server, we'll be able to improve the amount of testing that Mixxx receives by producing nightly builds of various branches.

In other words, brave testers will be able to try new features like our vinyl control improvements sooner, and help give us important feedback while we're developing new features. We'll also be able to decrease the amount of time it takes for us to close bugs, since we'll be able to get confirmation from testers that our bug fixes work on Windows and Mac OS X faster. We're aiming to produce nightly builds of as many branches of Mixxx development as possible, so there should be lots to play with.

But first, we need your financial support to purchase a dedicated build server to enable the production these nightly builds.

Big thanks to everyone who's contributed so far! If you haven't yet had the opportunity, a donation of any amount will directly support Mixxx development and be greatly appreciated!

Stay tuned for more news about Mixxx 1.9.0!

Mixxx 1.8.0 Released!

2010-10-05T08:24:00.003+01:00

The Mixxx team is proud to announce the final release of Mixxx 1.8.0!

Mixxx is free, open source software for performing live DJ mixes. Developed by a diverse community of DJs, Mixxx is a complete replacement for a conventional "turntables and mixer" DJ setup, and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

"Deere" skin, new in Mixxx 1.8.0

Mixxx 1.8.0 is now available on our downloads page.

This new release includes a year's worth of contributions from over 30 developers and artists, and is our most exciting release to date. Mixxx 1.8.0 includes much anticipated features such as looping, hot cues, support for multiple MIDI devices, and a brand new database-powered library.

Since Mixxx 1.7.2 was released, the following changes have been made:

Looping

Loop-in, Loop-out, and Reloop/Exit buttons added to our main skins.
Loop point indicators on main waveforms and waveform summary displays.

Hot cues

Most of our skins gained 4 hot cue buttons, and Mixxx now internally supports up to 32 hot cues per deck.

A brand new database-powered library, with:

iTunes library and playlists access (Windows and Mac OS X)
Rhythmbox library and playlists access (Linux)
A brand new, faster library scanner
Crates!
A simple Auto DJ mode, which crossfades to the next track in the Auto DJ queue.
Analyze view, which allows you to run bulk BPM detection on your songs
Featured Artists bundle (Windows and Mac OS X)
Revamped Song Properties dialog
Re-arrangeable, hide-able columns

Tons of new artwork:

Improvements to UTF-8 handling

Over 50 bug fixes and more!

Ubuntu Users

We have great news for Ubuntu users: Mixxx 1.8.0 is avaiable in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) directly from the Ubuntu Software Center! We also have a PPA containing Mixxx 1.8.0 for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) users, accessible from our downloads page.

Audio Playback Plugins

We've also added an audio playback plugin architecture to Mixxx, which allows Mixxx to playback extra formats with third-party plugins. Since audio formats like M4A/AAC are encumbered by software patents which restrict distribution and usage in certain jurisdictions, Mixxx cannot natively support them. However, the good news is that a licensed third-party can now develop and distribute an M4A plugin for Mixxx. We'll be posting some of our own audio plugins to the Mixxx Add-ons wiki page in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back again soon.

Fundraiser

We realized in the course of packaging 1.8.0 (by hand) that since we're planning on speeding up our release cycles, now might time to purchase a dedicated build server that will allow us to create nightly builds and automate our releases. Money raised will go to cover the cost of the server, and any leftover money will cover other ongoing expenses like web hosting, and otherwise help keep Mixxx rocking!

Bugs

We depend on feedback from our users to guide Mixxx's development, so let us know what you think of the new release! Also, please remember to report any bugs you discover to the Mixxx bug tracker.

Mixxx 1.8.0 Beta 2 Released!

2010-07-01T06:40:00.004+01:00

The Mixxx team is pleased to announce the second beta of Mixxx 1.8.0! This release brings a large number of bug fixes, performance improvements, and even some small new features.

Download Now!

Here's a summary of the changes in this release:

Library:

Massive optimization of the new SQLite database-powered library, including:

Faster searches
In-memory caching layer which minimizes hard disk access
Faster library scanning

Fixed some Auto DJ bugs
Added tooltips to library table
Polished up song Properties dialog

Library search now looks at album names too
Fixed minor library rescanning bugs
Fixed crate and playlist creation bugs
Fixed drag-and-drop from network shares on Windows
Show iTunes playlists as sorted

Audio:

Added plugin architecture for audio playback
Fixed some cueing bugs with pitch-independent time stretch
Improvements to vinyl emulation sound quality

Improved performance by optimizing hard disk access for audio decoding
Legacy 1.7 library importer now imports cue points
Faster MP3 loading
Improved reliability with certain MP3s and OGGs

MIDI:

Improved scratching with the SCS.3d
Timers now available in MIDI scripts

Fullscreen key changed to F11 to conform to de-facto standard.
Tons of other bug fixes!

Hotcues
Since everyone's been waiting ever so patiently for this release, we decided to slip a bonus in for you. Mixxx 1.8.0 Beta 2 adds hotcues, which are cue points that start playing when triggered. These are handy for impromptu drumming and remixing because you can trigger different parts of a song quickly. Although our default "Outline Netbook" skin doesn't yet show the hotcue positions on the main scrolling waveform display, the hotcues do show up in the smaller waveform summary.

The keyboard shortcuts for hotcues are Z, X, C, and V on Player 1, and M, <, >, and ? on Player 2. Now go chop some beats! (Update: Forgot to mention that using the Shift key in combination with the above keys clears the hot cues.)

Audio Playback Plugins
The new audio playback plugin framework lets you to install third-party plugins that give Mixxx the ability to playback extra audio formats. Sometimes support for an obscure audio format is difficult to maintain or may be legally encumbered in certain jurisdictions, either of which would preventing us from supporting it. However, third-party developers can now add support for extra audio formats to Mixxx at their own discretion.

The Mixxx Development Team will not distribute audio playback plugins that carry legal uncertainty for us. The responsibility is solely yours to ensure that you are legally entitled to obtain and use any playback plugins provided by a third-party.

Although we don't have any official audio playback plugins available yet, we'd like to invite developers to post their plugins on the Mixxx Add-ons wiki page.

The Road to 1.8.0
Over the next month or so, we'll be wrapping up development of 1.8.0. We've still got many bugs to fix (and could use your help), but we think this latest beta release is a big improvement over the previous one. Give it a shot, and please report any bugs you find! Enjoy, and stay tuned for more news as we finally approach Mixxx 1.8.0.

Google Summer of Code 2010 Projects

2010-04-26T12:30:00.004+01:00

The results are in! Google has just announced which students have been accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2010 program. This year, we received many very good applications from students that competed for one of three slots with Mixxx. Due to the volume of applications we received, the application process was highly competitive and we had to make some very tough decisions.

After two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2010:

Bruno Buccolo - Effects Units based on existing LADSPA Integration
William Good - Digital Vinyl System (DVS) / External Mixer Mode
Ryan Baker - Sampler

Bruno Buccolo's project involves developing an innovative user interface and control scheme for effects. During our past work on LADSPA effects, we discovered that creating a good user interface with MIDI control would require both more effort and clever thinking than we anticipated. This project aims to simplify effects management and make controlling effects live easy.

William Good will be working on an "External Mixer" Mode to enhance Mixxx's usability with hardware setups. This project will make it easier to connect your hardware mixer to Mixxx and aims to simplify Mixxx's user interface for vinyl control users.

Last but not least, Ryan Baker will develop a sampler allowing DJs to trigger sounds during their DJ sets. A sample bank can increase your flexibility when DJing by allowing you to layer drum loops additional buildups into your mix.

These projects are going to make the Summer extra exciting for our development team, and we hope to give you something to look forward to in a future release! In the meantime, we're fixing bugs in 1.8 and we hope to have an even better Beta 2 release for everyone to play with once we finish up. With 1.8.0 around the corner and some great projects lined up for the Summer, it's an exciting time for Mixxx!

Mixxx in Google Summer of Code 2010!

2010-03-18T20:43:00.001Z

Mixxx has been accepted as a mentoring organization into Google Summer of Code 2010!

Google Summer of Code is a program that provides students with a stipend to work on open source software over the summer. Students from all over the globe are matched up with mentors from participating organizations and gain real-world software development experience while working on cool open source projects.
