See Command line optionsfor an overview of Mixxx’s command line options.

2.2. Importing your audio files¶

Mixxx running on Windows 10 - Choose music library directory dialog¶

The first time you run Mixxx, you are asked to select a directory where yourmusic is stored. By default, the dialog points to a location where music filesare typically held, but you can select any location on your computer.

Click Select Folder and Mixxx will scan your music library.Depending on the size of your library this could take some time. All thesupported music files Mixxx detects will be listed in the Tracks - View and edit your whole collection.

If you want to refresh your library (for example because you added or movedfiles), you can do this with Library ‣ Rescan Library inthe menu. If you want to rescan at every launch, selectPreferences ‣ Library ‣ Rescan on startup.

Warning

On Windows 7 and 8 the import dialog points to your Windows“Music“ Library, a special-purpose virtual folder. You cannot use these virtual folders. Select a regular folderinstead, usually “My Music“, like pictured above.

2.3. Analyze your library¶

Mixxx automatically analyzes tracks the first time you loadthem in a deck, nevertheless it is recommended that you analyze them beforeplaying live to ensure the beatgrids are correct. Furthermore, trackanalysis takes considerable CPU power and might cause skips in the audio —things you surely don’t need while performing.

Mar 24, 2017  I currently have Garageband 10.1 on OS El Capitan Version 10.11.2 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). I don't like the way you can't precisely trim the Cycle Region to the exact length I want in GB 10.1. Before, I was able to do that on the older version of GB, which is the one I would like to download. I think it was GB 6.0.5.

Once you haveimported your music library, pressOK on the Preferences window. Go to the Analyze view on the leftside panel of the library. This allows you to run beatgrid,key, and ReplayGain detection on tracks in advance. Whileanalyzing, the progress in percentage and total queue length are shown.

Either internal or external mixing:

Mixxx is free and open-source software for DJing.^[2] It is cross-platform and supports most common music file formats. Mixxx can be controlled with MIDI and HID controllers and timecode vinyl records in addition to computer keyboards and mice.

Overview[edit]

Mixxx is a DJ Automation and digital DJ performance application^[3] and includes many features common to digital DJ solutions as well as some unique ones: It natively supports advanced MIDI and HID DJ controllers, is licensed under the GPL (v2.0 or later) and runs on all major desktopoperating systems.^[4] The project was started in early 2001 for a doctoral thesis as one of the first digital DJing systems.^[5] Over 1,000,000 downloads of the app occur annually and as of Mixxx 1.10.0, 100 developers and artists have helped create Mixxx. Recent versions support harmonic mixing and beatmatching, both manually and automatically.^[6]

Format support[edit]

Mixxx can read most popular audio formats, including MP3, Vorbis, Opus, AIFF and FLAC. v1.8 introduces a plug-in system to be able to read other formats, including patent-encumbered ones whose decoders cannot legally be distributed in binary form with Mixxx, such as Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). Any such plug-ins are automatically loaded at run-time if present. Mixxx can also play module files when compiled with the modplug=1 build flag., and can use LV2 plugins for effects.

Hardware[edit]

Any sound card that is supported by the operating system is usable in Mixxx. Mixxx supports various software APIs for using sound cards on different operating systems, namely ASIO, WASAPI, and DirectSound on Windows; OSS, ALSA, and JACK on Linux; and CoreAudio on Mac OS X, all via PortAudio.

For external hardware control, Mixxx can support any MIDI or HID controller as long as there is a mapping to tell Mixxx how to interpret the controller's signals. Mixxx includes mappings for many DJ controllers and users can create their own mappings as well.^[7] It is the only DJ software capable of using a fully featured programming language, JavaScript, for creating mappings with advanced controller interaction and feedback.^[8]

Turntables and CDJ media players can control Mixxx with the timecode control sub-system which is built on xwax. Like xwax, Mixxx supports timecode vinyl made by several manufacturers.^[9]

Reception[edit]

One of the free and open-source applications available in the Mac App Store, in less than 48 hours from debut in February 2011,^[10] Mixxx became the #1 Top Free App in the USA, Germany, and Italy.^[11]

Mixxx has been accepted as a mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code 2007^[12], 2008^[13], 2010,^[14] 2011,^[15] 2012,^[16] 2013,^[17]2014,^[18] 2016,^[19] 2017^[20], 2018^[21], 2020^[22].
