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

ReplyDeleteSimply the best open source software project. It's impressive what you all accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI really hope the time code response is better, it was the only thing keeping me from replacing traktor pro with mixxx when I dj'ed with a digital medium. I still respect the heck out of you guys for the generosity and dedication anyway! congratulations, I'll try it out carefully.
ReplyDeleteHi Ka§par,
ReplyDeleteTuning your setup for good vinyl control performance with Mixxx can be tricky. We just wrote a chapter in the manual about it. Check it out!
http://mixxx.org/manual/1.11/chapters/vinyl_control.html
Also, see the section on latency and sound API -- those are also very important for getting good performance out of Mixxx.

<3 keep it up <3
ReplyDeleteGreat!!!
ReplyDeleteI've started playing as a selektor in a number of events in my town. I've been gradually moving to open-source software in my life in general. I could never thank enough you guys in the Mixxx team. Can't wait to try out this version!
ReplyDeleteI've been at it for a few hours trying to make it.
ReplyDeleteWhen spinning timecodes faster (forward or backward), the cursor keeps going at the same speed, regardless of buffer size. It's the same problem I found with previous versions, unfortunately.
I wish I could program so I could help out, instead of diagnosing problems. I've been using traktor MK1, are the results any better with Serato discs?
I saw Mixxx uses Xwax to engage the timecode signal... I've seen very impressive videos where trick mixing and juggling is easy as it ever was with Xwax, with amazing response.
Do you think this will ever match true Xwax on linux performance? that'd be it for me...
As it stands, unfortunately, Mixxx on timecode needs a generous soul who can make it more sensible to spin speed and detail of timecode.
I've been excited about mixxx for years, but still eagerly awaiting the community deliver a finalized product that can be used at comparable level to other commercial programs, I really wish I could use it, but I just can't perform well enough as is, and this is all I do.
thanks for the time, and all the best!
k§
(congratulations, nonetheless for all the hard work, again, regardless! you guys deserve all the praise anyone can give you!)
ReplyDeleteKa§par, if you send me an email at owilliams @ mixxx dot org I can help you get timecode working. I use it to DJ and when set up correctly it definitely doesn't act as you describe.
ReplyDeletegreta piece of software , just finding my way round it. altho a stop button and a skip to begining of track button would be even nicer , seperate from the play /pause.
ReplyDeletejust a personal preference than faffin about with cue points.
love the search and other features, stable and effective
well done
and i get to know of this on a Monday ... 4 Days till i can test it with a proper sound volume! can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!! You did a really great job!!!
ReplyDeleteCan i use Mixxx with Pioneer DDJ-Ergo-K ?
ReplyDeleteGreat release!
ReplyDeleteOne little thing im missing is a lowcut and highpass filter. A simple flanger would also be so cool.
Then it will be my dream Dj App.!
THANK YOU to all those involved. Mixxx is one of the best things in life
ReplyDeleteyeah!! bye bye traktor. all i need i have.
ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeletejust started to use mixxx +BCD2000 + code vinyl. It works very well.Congratulations
What I'm really missing is a 'live input mode' so I could also mix my 'real' vinyls
AS fas I know this fearure is not implemented
Any chance of having it in a near future?
In the meanwhile,Is there any trick to make it work in current version (using the mic input f.e.)?
Thanks and keep the good work
this is really great program it will be better if in the future you guy can add web-integration where people can request songs when the radio es in Auto DJ
ReplyDeleteHi team!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, however... I have a "little" (I think) trouble:
Today, I installed Mixxx directly from Synaptics, so I have the 1.10.0 release.
Then, I saw "Download Mixxx 1.11.0 for Ubuntu adding the PPA..."
I uninstalled Mixxx 1.10.0, then I added the PPAs that you list at http://www.mixxx.org/download.php
And I made
$ sudo apt-get install mixxx libportaudio2
$ sudo apt-get update
on my console and I can't have Mixxx 1.11.0 on my Linux Mint 13 MAYA (I still have Mixxx 1.10.0 :(
Any further help... please?
Thank you at all, best regards,
Richy
Sorry, it's me again...
ReplyDeleteThe solution:
$ sudo upgrade all
After that, restart the machine... And Mixxx 1.11.0 will be available to download and update via updates manager,
You are the best, keep in touch with me for updating the Spanish translation,
Richy

After downloading this new version, when I would like to change theme/skin to mixxx it crashes, doesn't help that i re-install it becouse that old theme is there again which i tried to switch
ReplyDeleteI discovered Mixxx just today, even though I am not that into DJ'ing, my older brother is and I have been trying to get him to install a linux distro on his aging laptop, now that I know about Mixxx as a free alternative to Traktor, I might actually stand a chance. Thanks! And awesome, awesome work guys, I can't believe that this program is completely free!
ReplyDelete:)
Thanks heaps guys...very nice product.... Does Mixxx work with Denon SC 3900???
ReplyDeleteThank you sooooooooooooooooo much!!
ReplyDeleteMixxx is as tight as a nuns you know what!Have to say using mixxx kicks traktor/torq and serato's ass big time!I can finally use the lowest latency possible without no sound issues at all and can play for hours without any glitches/hitches et etc!For a free program, you guys have excelled yourselves to produce a great tool for dj's!Big up ya bad selves!!
ReplyDeleteDJ Moses
I can't hear anything do i need another piece of equipment to use this
ReplyDeleteGreat software. I have used the 1.11Beta version for a party, and this was great.
ReplyDeleteCould someone please explain how to proceed with upgrading to the release version?
- do I need to first uninstall the beta? and what happens with crates/playlists?
- or can I just install the release version over the beta?
Thank you for your feedback.
PK
Hey PK, you should be able to install the 1.11 final version over the beta with no problems. Your library should be intact.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Albert
Hey there.
ReplyDeleteWhy it doesnt work @ ubuntu 13.10?
After importing library and rhythmbox, no track is loading at all, on any deck.
What's wrong here?
Thank you.
Does it work with Pioneer DDJ T1 controller? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI don't like it but I love it !!!
ReplyDeleteWilll keep on supporting your work ever and ever!!!
ReplyDeleteKind regards from france,
Pierre

ReplyDeleteBravo pour ce brillant prog.
ReplyDeleteManque quelques effets ( Phaser Desintegrator, Reverb ) "classiques" que l'on oserait pas aller rajouter dans le fichier source avant de recompiler. vous pourriez add l'appel d'effets DSP et/ou VST et puis ce serait parfait ! bonne continuation.
Gran programa. Lo estoy usando junto a un controlador Behringer BCD2000 y estoy encantado con el resultado. Gracias!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much guys :DDDD
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for this software and for keeping it open! Cheers!
ReplyDeletePlaying around with version 1.10.1 on linux mint, the third day some functions don't work anymore, (language german):
ReplyDeleteKurzlinks-
Arbeitsfläche
Ordner (folder)
Ordner (folder/album)
and then there are in the right window the tracks and there I can click on the tracks and then
1. Zur AutoDJ Warteschlange hinzugen
2. Zur Wiedergabeliste hinzufügen
3. Zur Kiste hinzufügen
do NOT work.
This means, by some tracks it works, by some tracks it does not.
Is that fixed in the new version?
by the way:
I typed in this little window, then I clicked on publish, then I logged in my google-account ... then the text was in nirvana, thats why again but a short text and anonym.
Hello! Can I config with DDJ-S1?
