<h3>
Important Announcements for Upgrading from 2.0.x</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
For users upgrading from Mixxx 2.0.x 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 2.1.0 (unless you were using the 2.1.0 beta or release candidate). How to uninstall Mixxx varies on different versions of Windows:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2601726">Windows Vista, 7, and 8</a>: Start > Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program</li>
<li><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4028054/windows-repair-or-remove-programs-in-windows-10">Windows 10</a>: Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs And Features > look for Mixxx > Uninstall</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
If you are upgrading from Mixxx 2.0.0 or older and have MP3 files in your library, we have another important announcement. The good news is that we fixed a bug where the waveforms and audio playback of MP3 files were misaligned. The bad news is that we have no way of knowing which MP3 files were affected or how much the offset was. That means that waveforms, beatgrids, cues, and loops from older versions of Mixxx may be offset by an unknown amount for any MP3 file. Only MP3 files were affected by this bug; other audio file types are unaffected. You can either correct your beatgrids and cue points manually for each track, or you can clear this information for all MP3s and start fresh. Regardless, we recommend clearing the waveforms for all MP3 files. To clear these, type "location:mp3" into the library search bar, press Control + A to select all tracks, right click, and select the information you want to clear from the menu.<br />

<br />
Are you ready for a surprise?<br />
<br />
The Mixxx 1.12 beta period has been going quite smoothly and we're almost ready to launch this baby. This release packs a punch. It's our <b>single biggest release ever</b> and adds more headline features than we've ever put in one release. We decided that it was time -- time to <b>drop the "1.1"</b> (it's cleaner):<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mixxx 1.12.0 will be... <b>Mixxx 2.0!</b></span></div>
<br />
We've been working towards this release for many years now. But we still need your help to make this our best ever.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We need your help <b>translating</b> and <b>testing.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Today we're releasing Mixxx 2.0 Release Candidate 1. If all goes according to plan, we're going to get some more testing in from the community and have <b>Mixxx 2.0</b> ready for all of your New Year's Eve parties!</div>
<br />

<b>Help Translate Mixxx</b><br />
In order to make this release rock in every language we need your help with translations! This is the first release we are offering translations of the Mixxx manual in addition to the app itself. We are currently in dire need of translations for Spanish, Chinese and Japanese (among many other languages).<br />
Check out our <a href="https://www.transifex.com/mixxx-dj-software/" target="_blank">Transifex page</a> and <a href="http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/internationalization" target="_blank">internationalization wiki</a> for details on how to get started.</div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Call for Controller Presets</b><br />
Support for MIDI/HID controllers is historically one of Mixxx's biggest weak points. If you have built a controller preset for a device, please consider submitting it for inclusion in Mixxx as a community-maintained preset! Check out <a href="http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/contributing_mappings" target="_blank">the guide on our wiki</a> for more details.</div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PHfcwcfux-M/UV8-fUfAToI/AAAAAAAAAMU/h_4h_XFPtLk/s400/image00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PHfcwcfux-M/UV8-fUfAToI/AAAAAAAAAMU/h_4h_XFPtLk/s400/image00.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The Summer of Code is upon us! Google has just <a href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/05/students-announced-for-google-summer-of.html">announced</a> which students Mixxx has accepted into the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Summer of Code 2013</span> 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.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
After over two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2013:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Wei Xin </b>from <b>Dalian University of Technology</b> in Liaoning, China</li>
<li><b>Carl Pillot</b> from <b>The New England Conservatory of Music</b> in Boston, USA</li>
<li><b>Nazar Gerasymchuk </b>from <b>Taras Shevchenko University</b> in Kiev, Ukraine</li>
<li><b>Chris Johnson-Roberson </b>from <b>Brown University</b> in Rhode Island, USA<b> </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Wei Xin will build a <b>community-powered controller mapping portal</b>. 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!<br />
<br />
Carl Pillot will build a <b>loop recorder for live remixing</b>. 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.<br />
<br />
Nazar Gerasymchuk will <b>re-design Mixxx's database concurrency model</b> to fix a long-standing issue Mixxx has with locking the GUI for database queries. This should make the Mixxx interface smoother than ever!<br />
<br />
Last but not least, Chris Johnson-Roberson will build an <b>intelligent track suggestions</b> feature which aims to helps DJs with the most important choice there is in DJing: what to play next.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!</div>

Here's the skinny on all the new features in Mixxx 1.11.0:</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Colored, 3-band Waveforms</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Don't miss a beat. These waveforms make every kick, snare, and thumping beat stand out.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Brand New Beat Detector</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>HID and Bulk Controller Support</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Mixxx now supports non-MIDI devices using its powerful scripting system. </li>

</ul>
<li><b>Beatloop Rolls</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Preview Deck</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Advanced Search</b></li>
<ul>
<li>The library search box received some much-needed love. Try out these example queries:</li>
<ul>
<li>bpm:100-120 rating:>4</li>
<ul>
<li>All tracks between 100 and 120BPM with rating greater than 4.</li>
</ul>
<li>artist:"Aphex Twin"</li>
<ul>
<li>All tracks with "Aphex Twin" in the artist column.</li>
</ul>

<li>Now you can customize the crossfade period, re-queue tracks instead of removing, and more.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Point-and-Click MIDI Mapping</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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. </li>
</ul>
<li><b>New Sample Grid skin</b></li>
<ul>
<li>With 16 sample decks, this skin is perfect for radio DJs and advanced beat-jugglers alike.</li>
</ul>

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

This new feature in Mountain Lion is called <b>Gatekeeper</b>, and gives Apple a way to stop spyware and other nasty stuff from spreading.<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://downloads.mixxx.org/targeted/mixxx-1.10.1-macuniversal-mountainlion.dmg"><b>Download Mixxx 1.10.1 for Mac OS X Mountain Lion</b></a></div>
<br />
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 <a href="http://mixxxblog.blogspot.nl/2010/12/build-server-fundraiser-success-thank.html">our build server</a>, 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.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, enjoy, and <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+filebug">please file bugs</a> if you run into any problems on Mountain Lion!<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N4JWj9i-474/T2OQYKVgzjI/AAAAAAAACX4/T_uJUrUYzs4/s400/gsoc-2012-logo-color.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N4JWj9i-474/T2OQYKVgzjI/AAAAAAAACX4/T_uJUrUYzs4/s400/gsoc-2012-logo-color.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The Summer of Code is upon us! Google has just <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2012/mixxx">announced</a> which students Mixxx has accepted into the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Summer of Code 2012</span> 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.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
After over two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2012:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Matthew Mikolay </b>from <b>Rutgers University</b> in the United States</li>
<li><b>Max Linke</b> from <b>Georg-August-Universität Göttingen</b> in Germany (irc nick: kain88)</li>
<li><b>Scott Stewart</b> from <b>the</b> <b>University of California, Berkeley</b> in the United States<b> </b>(irc nick: smstewart)</li>
<li><b><b>Varun Jewalikar </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">from </span>the<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><b>University of Pompeu Fabra</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> in Spain (irc nick: neo01124)</span></b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Matthew Mikolay will build a <b>pass-through mode for vinyl-control users</b>. This will allow DJs to seamlessly use Mixxx with their vinyl or CD collections alongside their digital collections.<br />
<br />
Max Linke will work on improving the Mixxx library by adding a <b>preview player</b>, <b>multiple library paths</b>, and more.<br />
<br />
Scott Stewart will pick up where a previous GSoC project left off by <b>enhancing our AutoDJ feature</b> to mix more like a DJ rather than just cross-fading tracks. Here's to <a href="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/EenuhS/robotdj5.png" target="_blank">robots imitating DJs</a> instead of <a href="http://manhattan2ibiza.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/daft-punk-10.jpg" target="_blank">DJs imitating robots</a>!<br />
<br />
Last but not least, Varun Jewalikar will bring <b>harmonic mixing </b>features to Mixxx. This includes <b>automatic key detection</b> using open-source key detection libraries, the ability to <b>pitch-shift tracks on the fly</b>, <b>key-sync</b>, support for multiple <b>key notations</b>, and more.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!</div>

<br />
Join us at the World Trade Center at 9pm tonight to hang out with other Mixxx users and developers. We'll have a bunch of gear to play with and we'll be showing off some of the latest features in the upcoming Mixxx 1.10 release. Come check it out!<br />

Google has just <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2011/mixxx">announced</a> which students Mixxx has accepted into the <span style="font-weight: bold; ">Google Summer of Code 2011</span> 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.<div><br /><div><div>After over two weeks of deliberation, we're pleased to introduce our Google Summer of Code students for 2011:<br /><ul><li><b>Bill Good</b> from <b>Oklahoma State University</b> in the United States</li><li><b>Bart Verstrynge</b> from <b>Katholieke Universiteit Leuven</b> in Belgium</li><li><b>Qifan Xi</b> from the <b>University of Waterloo</b> in Canada</li></ul><div><div>Qifan Xi's project will involve building a <b>smarter search feature</b> 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.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bart Verstrynge's project will be to build a <b>DJ session history</b> 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.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bill Good will work to further decouple the Mixxx user interface from the <b>audio engine</b>. 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.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>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!</div><div><br /></div><div>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!</div></div></div><div><br /></div></div>RJ Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06126784715703123181noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163381471246333971.post-1053980149368122932011-02-20T05:43:00.000+00:002011-02-20T05:43:51.929+00:00Mixxx Debuts as #1 Free App in the Mac App Store<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmPkWYlYkY4/TWAfliRpGCI/AAAAAAAAA_o/xWimcv5Gslg/s1600/mixxx_1st_macappstore_Screen+shot+2011-02-19+at+11.29.58+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JmPkWYlYkY4/TWAfliRpGCI/AAAAAAAAA_o/xWimcv5Gslg/s320/mixxx_1st_macappstore_Screen+shot+2011-02-19+at+11.29.58+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Mixxx 1.9.0 adds<b> several major new features</b> 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! </div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Some of the new features added since our last major release are:</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Shoutcast / Icecast support</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Mixxx can now broadcast over the internet (heavily requested feature)</li>
</ul>
<li><b>External Mixer Support</b></li>
<ul>
<li>The new Sound Hardware preferences pane allows you to route each playback deck separately, which allows you to use Mixxx with an external mixer.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>ReplayGain normalization</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Waveform Gain</b></li>
<ul>
<li>The scrolling waveforms now scale according to the channel gain for better visual feedback.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Key lock buttons</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Formerly known as "pitch-independent time stretch", there are now easily accessible key-lock buttons for each for deck.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Revamped default skin</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>HSS1394 support</b> (Windows, OS X)</li>
<ul>
<li>Mixxx now supports firewire HSS1394 MIDI devices such as the Stanton SCS.1 series.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Improved FLAC support</b></li>
<ul>
<li>We're now using libFLAC directly for smoother FLAC decoding.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Revamped metadata parsing</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Integration of <a href="http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html">TagLib</a> allows Mixxx to parse more metadata from songs, and do it more consistently.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Metadata writing</b></li>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Millisecond time display</b></li>
<ul>
<li>The time counters in Mixxx now have an extra millisecond display.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Library improvements:</b></li>
<ul>
<li><b>Played column - </b>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.</li>
<li><b>Ratings column - </b>5 stars, no stars, or <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03273.html">anywhere in between</a>.</li>
<li><b>Better search </b>- Search now searches in more columns, and by-term instead of by-phrase.</li>
<li><b>Revamped iTunes integration</b> - A rewrite yielded a significant speedup of iTunes parsing.</li>
<li><b>Faster library scanning - </b>The library scanner should perform much better on large libraries.</li>
<li><b>Inline Editing</b> -<b> </b>Double click any item in the track table to edit its contents.</li>
<li><b>Recording to MP3/Ogg -</b> Now your recordings can be saved in either MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis format.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>New MIDI mappings:</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Vestax Typhoon</li>
<li>Vestax Spin</li>
<li>Hercules DJ Console Mk4</li>
<li>Numark MIXTRACK</li>
<li>Pioneer CDJ-350</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Updated MIDI mappings:</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Hercules DJ Control MP3</li>
<li>Hercules DJ Control e2</li>
<li>Hercules DJ Control Steel</li>
<li>Hercules MK2</li>
<li>Vestax VCI-100</li>
<li>Reloop Digital Jockey 2</li>
<li>M-Audio Xponent</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Tons of bug fixes and performance improvements!</b></li>

The version in the App Store comes with AAC/M4A support and is 64-bit as an extra bonus for Mac OS X users. However, due to licensing constraints, vinyl control is not included in this version.

<br />
It's $25 for the 100% preshrunk cotton T-Shirt ($28 if you need XXL) plus $5 shipping to anywhere in the world.<br />
<br />
We'll place the order with the supplier on February 11, so get your order in now! Allow 6-8 weeks after that for your shirt(s) to arrive in your mailbox (though we expect them to arrive sooner than that, unless you live near the South Pole or something.)<br />
