#mixxx — Public Fediverse posts

I just started learning to #DJ.
I've bought this course on Udemy and I've been watching some YouTube videos on the topic: https://www.udemy.com/course/10steps2dj/?couponCode=MT260727G1

The instructor (and most beginner's YouTube videos) uses #Rekordbox for the majority of the practices.
For the controller, I've bought a Numark Mixtrack Pro FX, which "comes" with Serato DJ Lite, but right from the beginning I felt how #enshitified it was! The Lite is so limited that it makes me remind the term #Crackware, which was used to addict people on the software for them you buy it.

The Numark controller is good, and I could like it and keep it, except from the fact it's very tight to Serato, which was my decision to return it and get a Pioneer DJ FLX4, which brands both Rekordbox and Serato, so it's a more "whitelabel" product.

Anyway, all that to say that @mixxx is saving my beginner's learning experience (and also saved Numark from a bad review).

If you're on the same journey as I, I deeply recommend to get a Pioneer DJ controller to run away from Serato, it doesn't worth it (beginner's opinion).
Or if you go with Numark, get @mixxx, is astonishing better than Serato.

@pluralistic

@lislegaard Exactly! You can slow this baby down to 20% original speed and still have full human hearing range covered! It's an interesting effect and opens up some options for DJ-ing... assuming #Mixxx can cleanly resample and it won't make my laptop catch fire...

Aha! There's a whole system for figuring out songs which are harmonically related in some way.

Anyway, this guy (intro to DJing with Mixxx/David Shimel) answered my question. So, can definitely now do a seamless DJ transition... provided they are compatible style tracks. (similar beat, similar style, and not a glaring mismatch in key... I guess which keys are compatible I should know from all those years of music theory, but that stuff went in one ear and out the other lol)

Okay, here's the magic button! If you click on the magnet it turns on "quantize", which automagically syncs the two tracks you have selected by the beat. So, seamless transition between tracks.

Day seven #WeekOfPatching. I recorded and uploaded a way to long video showcasing the Midi receiver and websocket connection. Next up will be updating the log accordingly, write a few words about the sync conncetion and publishing the patch for others to use.

Day four and five of #weekOfPatching, I added a websocket connection, that syncs the midi-for-light from #mixxx. Quickly whipped it out at the office party, but it was a bit more chaotic than expected. Worked great tho!

I had an amazing time with this DJ show at a Philly bar last month, now you can enjoy it on peertube! Big dance party energy on this one, lots of pop remixes and even some nightcore 🌠

On Friday I played my first live show in a while.
It was supposed to be more of a DJ set than a concert but in the end it came out as a hybrid. Lots of live vocals, I also sang a couple songs written during my time here.
Never played on a psychiatric ward before LOL. Huge thanks to my therapy mates, therapists and the ward staff, you're the best!
I made a tool w/ #Godot for performing live visuals for this event, you can get it here:

I played music from #Mixxx

Had to make a custom skin just to fit the screen but it worked so well I played until the battery died #rasberrypi #mixxx #dj

#Mixxx broke 🥲

It gets stuck loading a track into a deck, the track never loads. Tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps. Currently trying the flatpak to see if that works. Will probably make a github issue if I can't get it to work.

Good thing I checked well before my next gig!!

DJing with Linux and Mixxx DJ software.
They work quite very well, so I feel fine!

#dj #linux #mixxx

I think I figured out how to get a #MIXXX playlist created on my desktop to work on my Surface:
1.) create the playlist with the library on a external drive
2.) export the playlist with relative paths to that drive
3.) export the playlist with relative paths to that drive AGAIN and replace the existing file
4.) open the playlist with a text editor and replace the desktop username with the surface username (only for special character absolute file paths)

Improvement suggestions appreciated...

@saschaludwig Was für eine Software ist das? Nach #Mixxx siehts mir nicht aus.

(I recently downloaded Calibre to read an ebook for a university assignment, I really like its customizability, that I can set text width, number of columns, panels to show, etc. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's bundled with a full-blown ebook manager and ebook editor, while all I need is just a simple ebook reader, idk why it has to pull all that extra stuff if I download the reader (at least on Debian))

raw hardstyle gets more and more my fav sub genre to mix...
And now that #mixxx gets the ability to export all the loops to my engineOS deck, it's gonna be even better!

(Just tested the pull request... works like a charm!)

LÖSUNG GEFUNDEN!
Auf dem neuen Gerät mit neuer Ordnung erstmal die alte mixxxdb.sqlite entfernen.
Vorhandene Playlisten und auch Verlauf als m3u bzw. m3u8 vom alten exportieren.
Im neuen diese im Editor öffnen und mit Suchen und Ersetzen die Pfade erneuern.
Wenn die Bibliothek frisch erneuert und gescannt ist, diese importieren.
Sicherheitshinweis: lieber vorher Mixxx einmal schließen, damit die neue mixxxdb.sqlite safe ist. Vielleicht zusätzlich ein Backup. Je nach Größe. =)
