- Dec 20, 2019 With internet radio growing at a rapid rate each year, an ever growing client base and possibly the best team behind us we are loving what we do and would love to.
- Mar 31, 2020 The Mixxx team is hard at work on Mixxx 2.3. The best place to keep track of 2.3 development is the 2.3.0 milestone page on Launchpad. A more general roadmap can be found on the wiki.
User Manual
Starting with version 1.9.0, Mixxx directly supports live broadcasting which allows you to connect to Shoutcast and Icecast servers. Using the preferences dialogue, you can simply supply Mixxx with all information needed to establish a server connection.
The Mixxx Manual provides an overview of Mixxx's user interface, information about configuration and hardware, and much more. It also contains useful information for beginners under DJing with Mixxx.
Wiki
The Mixxx Wiki has a wealth of useful documentation for users and developers. New to it all and not sure how to get started? Checkout the Beginner DJ Links. Running into technical issues? See the Troubleshooting guide.

Zulip Chat
Mixxx's Zulip chat instance is a fun place to hang out with the developers and meet some fellow DJs. Here, the Mixxx team discusses upcoming changes and programming related stuff. It can be used for support too. Join the discussion on the web or download the Zulip app and configure it to use the server mixxx.zulipchat.com.
Mailing List
The mixxx-devel mailing list (SourceForge and The Mail Archive archives) is now a low-traffic, mostly announcement channel. Subscribe if you would like to be informed about new releases and other topics.

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].
