@iThreepwood Darum bin ich etwas vorsichtig beim Empfehlen von Linux auf dem Desktop, weil die viel zitierten Alternativen #Gimp #LibreOffice #Bitwig #Mixxx zwar schon gut oder sehr gut sind, aber eben ein anderes Werkzeug. Das benögt unter Umständen grossen Einsatz, der nicht einfach so geleistet werden kann.
Support for the SMC-Mixer and SMK-25 II piano keyboard have been merged into @mixxx and will be available out-of-the-box in version 2.5.1! Thanks to M-Vave for sending me these; I'm glad I could help! I enjoy writing plugins for DJ setups, if you have an extra controller that you want supported, or are a company that makes MIDI or HID controllers and you want to send one my way, I'm always happy to write a mapping and help get it supported in the best DJ software out there!
The best soundtrack to start work on a Friday morning!
I love it 
Idea I had a few days ago, implemented and finally filmed today...
I've built my home cockpit stuff... that's basically just a HID controller... so I could use that to control stuff like my DJ program, #mixxx too!
when working in theater with #mixxx one has to do coffee
This person from the @mixxx forums has got it all figured out! And that jacket is so good, I wanna make one!
#Mixxx 2.5: Kostenloses DJ-Tool mit neuen Features und besserer Performance
Is there a way in #quodlibet to display artwork on a per-song basis in the list views like for instance in #mixxx? #linuxaudio
I was able to fix a lot of issue and bring new 2.5.0 #Mixxx features on the #Pioneer #DDJSX2 mapping :
- Use of hotcue loops for Cue Loop & Saved Loop
- Revamp the Sampler to be able to load AND unload samples
- Different colors in Hot Cue; Cue Loop & Saved Loop
- Clear Grid is now working 
- Fixes for the Brake/SoftStart play button (I need to fix a final bug before I can call this good)
- And some code refactoring and removing useless code!
Pretty happy with my work today :)
I totally missed the new @mixxx 2.5.0 release in december, I'm so happy mappings can have their own settings now instead of fiddling inside code file, and I've added the new settings UI to my Pioneer DDJ SX2 Mapping ! As well as a new setting. Not perfect, but it works and I can always iterate on it!

Thank you the Mixxx team for your amazing work ! :)
Earlier I decided that I wanted to use my Arturia KeyLab 88 keyboard to control @mixxx so that I can play along with tracks easier. I wrote up some MIDI bindings with basic functionality and threw them up here on the off chance that anyone else has the same keyboard as me and wants to use them:

I thought i should re-share a picture of the Red Tin since I moved servers. This is my dj ing system built into a red metal toolbox.
It has an intel NUC dual booting Windows and Ubuntu at its core and midi controller powered by an Arduino. Here it is running Mixxx. It also runs Traktor
Mixxx 2.5 Stable Released
As is our Christmas tradition, we have a present under the tree for everyone (even if you don't have a tree!) The biggest change is that #Mixxx is now built for QT6 instead of QT5. While this means leaving certain older operating systems behind, supporting QT6 is an important step in keeping Mixxx relevant on newer operating systems.
We also have a bunch of updates to controller configs.
Check out the full release notes in our blog post:
Mixxx Development Team released #Mixxx version 2.5.0. https://mixxx.org/download/
