Mixxx overview
Mixxx allows you to perform live DJ mixes with your digital music collection. It helps you rock the party with MIDI/HID controllers, vinyl turntables, or even just your keyboard.
Mixxx is used by professional DJs and bedroom DJs alike. It is designed by an international team of volunteer DJs who want to bring the joy of DJing to everyone. The project is non-profit, open-source and community-driven. Together and with your help, we aim to build the best DJ software ever created.

Version: 2.2.4
I just purchased a new Apple laptop and phone. I am trying to understand iTunes and Apple integration. I downloaded Mixxx and a lot of my purchased music transferred, but not all. Now, I can't get sound. There's no volume. Please advise. Thank you.

Version: 1.10.1
Wow! I'm not a dj, but this software is very efficient! I made some simple mixes just now, very powerful! Moreover it's free!

Version: 1.10.1
YEAH! This is the software I've been waiting for. Stumbled open thisand gave it a shoot. It works great. Was able to do a nice mix. Audio Interface is what audience / recording would here and Built-In Audio out is for pre-listening via Headphone.
Works great. Why didn't I hear about this earlier? Off to rocking some old school hip hop tracks...

Nice looking app with a great feature set, adding AAC/ALAC would be a great addition.

Version: 1.9.1
I am surprised they never bumped a ver with this release - 1.9 is so much more than 1.8 was. And then, I wonder if this will go the route of djay - Born Free, died $50. Even if it does, in its current form, it certainly is a good piece of software, for the casual DJ especially. In fact, I think I may just prefer it to djay...

Version: 1.8.0
A really good update v1.8
• the new skins look good
• the library is much faster
• browse mode
• iTunes playlist support
• the waveforms load much faster
• nice to see better support for dj controllers
• loops
• auto dj (crossfading a feature iTunes should have had long ago)

KEESBAKKER:
I highly encourage you to try the Mixxx 1.8.0 final release, not the beta version that you reviewed. We've addressed things like the high CPU usage (an issue mostly isolated to Macbook Pros btw), and we have a much faster library scanner.
We appreciate your feedback, but we'd appreciate it even more if you directed it to our public bug tracker that's accessible off our Support page ( http://www.mixxx.org/support.php ). If we don't know what issues are affecting people, we won't know what to fix, plain and simple. The whole point of a beta release is to get wider testing, but it's useless without feedback from our users.
Anyways, please try the 1.8.0 final release, and be sure to check out the release announcement on our blog. We hope your experience will be much improved.

iTunes just don't cut it when it comes to playing some genres of music, Hip Hop etc. Many tracks sound their best when the pitch and eq is adjusted. Mixxx does this and a whole lot more and I find it very intuitive and uncomplicated because it follows the simple design of old school turntable mixer setups.

Here's my Mixxx configuration on an Intel 1.83GHz Core Duo MacBook running 10.6.2. This setup will not work if you want to playback live on external speakers. The benefits are you only need a pair of headphones (don't need external speakers, won't disturb the neighbours) and you can record your mix if you want to play it back on an ipod/amp & speakers later. The master audio will output via built in output, now when you want to listen to the other track press the headphone button on Mixxx interface and you'll be able to hear both master and headphones through your computers output. When you've synced the tracks turn off headphone on the Mixxx inteface. Now cross fade. If you record the mix and listen back the pre listening isn't recorded.
If you want to output to external speakers live you'll need an external sound card.
The configuration is in the post below
