Mixxx 1.7.1 Released!


The Mixxx team is proud to announce the release of Mixxx 1.7.1!


This bugfix release is a recommended upgrade for all users of 1.7.0, and fixes the following issues:
  • Fixed a memory leak causing degraded performance during long sets.
  • The headphone "main" cue now takes master balance into effect.
  • Fixed a rare issue with the Hercules DJ Control MP3 on Windows.
  • Some Stanton SCS.3d bugfixes and improvements to the SCS.1m mapping
We're also still hard at work on our next major release, Mixxx 1.8.0. We've just about wrapped up development of looping and are still hacking away on our overhauled library. Check out the screenshot below for an exclusive preview of our brand new looping controls, and stay tuned for more news about Mixxx 1.8.0!

  1. I just discovered Mixxx 1.7.0 a few days ago and found it really great but most of my MP3 are not tagged and appear as blank lines in the library view and in the play queue. This makes Mixxx unusable for me. I would be really thankfull if you could simply make that filenames are displayed when ID3 tags are not available. Many thanks to the development team for their great work.

  2. WOW great!

    I'm a amateur-dj and i love mixxx. In my opinion mixxx is the greatest dj-software all over the world.
    Thanks to the team! I just can't wait until mixxx 1.8.0 is released.

    Thanks and greetings from germany,

  3. Hmmm...I'm on Ubuntu 8.10; downloaded the .deb and installed it with dpkg -i. With 1.6.x, my hercules DJ Console Mk2 worked just fine but now it is not working. I don't know where to look for help.

  4. Anonymous: Please consult our wiki for information on how to get your Hercules up and running on Ubuntu 8.10. Hercules released an official driver that is required to make it work in Mixxx 1.7.0:

  5. I tried it on Ubuntu 9.10 and it still doesn't work with ALSA. 1.7.0 didn't work either. 1.6.1 works just fine.

  8. I can't wait to see the bug with libportaudio fixed...

  9. Hi phobik, we're always looking for help! Mixxx is coded in C++... Stop by our IRC channel, there's usually a couple of our developers hanging out in there (#mixxx on Freenode), and we can get you started.

    Thanks,
    Albert

  10. Mixxx looks like an incredible peace of hard work and it is hard to believe that such a great-looking application is free & open-source.

    However, I miss support for different timecode-types such as Numark Virtual Vinyl/VDJ, Torq or MixVibes (with needledropping of course, otherwise it may be a little inconvenient to use). Is anything in this direction planned for the near future?

    Thanks!

  11. Anonymous: Right now we don't have any plans to support additional timecode formats, but we'll slurp up whatever timecodes xwax supports in the future.

  15. Mixxx is a great tool but when i use ordinary microphone and select a channel to get my beat b4 playin it out it sounds in the master thus not working lke the typical mixer which allows you to listen to tracks while another is playin without interferance.

  17. I cant wait till 1.8 comes out mostly for looping :)

  18. hopeing that ladspa effects will be in 1.8 but the looping sounds and looks neat as

  19. if no one else had thought about it(I doubt,I'm the onlyone) It would be neat to use the new Macbook pro or PC equivalients multitouchpad gestures as crossfader (left to right)or even volume up and down by using one vs. two finger vertically for channel one vs channel two.

    this is just a thought. it would be cool. it would be like a built in mixer.

    this would probably hard to do.

  20. Ladspa effects wont make it into 1.8 for sure. They are not ready yet.

    Regarding multitouch gestures check out Controllermate, should do the trick even with Mixxx 1.7 http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17779/controllermate

  21. the BPM detection tool is not the easiest and most accurate, i would like to see mp3 recording instead of .wav

    and where in Gods name is the auto record button?

    great idea but needs a lot more work

    ReplyDelete
  22. Please add support for .m4a and .aif
    More than half of my iTunes lib is in .m4a

  23. Well it good in my taste just need more feature and adj. to it

    Mixx need more function like looping a song ,a play list so we Now what were playing and it keeps a list of it, Better Adj.for sound cards(like adding 2 master instead of Headphone but u can still add headphone so that the sound card can read) and Vinily control add a window so we can Adj. the vinily control etc.

    put it like this if every body know how all DJ program are EX: VirtualDJ has loop feat.and Adj for soundcard and vinily control and a play list so u know what u played etc.
    Now PcDJ DEX has good Adj. for soundcard and Vinily control but is lacking on what i said above and
    DeckaDance well its the same thing its good but need more
