Mixxx Changelog

What's new in Mixxx 2.4.0

Feb 16, 2024

EngineOS Export:
Mixxx 2.4 adds support for exporting crates, playlists and the library to Engine DJ OS devices, including Denon and Numark standalone controllers.
Watching embedded videos will transfer data to YouTube. To protect your privacy, you need to accept YouTubes privacy statement and terms of use first by clicking the button below.
This allows users to prepare their tracks on a laptop using Mixxx and export them to a USB stick for use on a standalone controller at their gig.
Saved Loops:
Mixxx 2.4 adds support for Saved Loops, which can be assigned to any Hot Cue slot. If you already have tracks from Serato DJ with Saved Loops, Mixxx 2.4 will import them automatically.
Watching embedded videos will transfer data to YouTube. To protect your privacy, you need to accept YouTubes privacy statement and terms of use first by clicking the button below.
Effect Chains:
Mixxx 2.4 introduces Effect Chains, a set of effects which can be saved and reloaded with all their parameters and individual Meta Knob mappings. Effect Chains can also be exported and imported, which allows you to share them with other Mixxx DJs. Once you've created an Effect Chain, you can create a custom Super Knob mapping which turns the chain into a Quick-Effect, where you take creative control with a single knob. Effect parameters can be reordered and or hidden. In the effect units, Mixxx 2.4 also displays the value and unit of effect knob parameters while they are being adjusted.
Track Menu Enhancements
The track menu in Mixxx 2.4 is enhanced by several new features:
Select loaded track in library.
Analyze/re-analyze with variable/constant BPM on a per-track basis.
Look up track metadata at Discogs, SoundCloud and LastFM.
Remove track files from disk.
Sync Lock Improvements:
Mixxx 2.4 adds support for manually selecting the Sync Leader by clicking on the new button with the crown symbol next to the Sync button. This mode is useful when tracks have variable BPM. All decks with sync enabled will follow the changing BPM of the Sync Leader.
Watching embedded videos will transfer data to YouTube. To protect your privacy, you need to accept YouTubes privacy statement and terms of use first by clicking the button below.
Many Other Changes:
Soundstretcher / Key-Shift Algorithms:
Mixxx 2.4 now supports three different key shift algorithms:
Soundtouch (Basic audio quality - medium CPU usage)
Rubberband R2 (Good audio quality - higher CPU usage)
Rubberband R3 (High audio quality - very high CPU usage)
Waveform Rendering Reworked:
The waveform display has been rewritten, solving some longstanding performance issues, especially on macOS.
Apple Silicon Support:
Mixxx now supports macOS ARM systems ("Apple Silicon") such as M1 natively and provides installation packages for those architectures. For macOS users, this increases the stability and performance of Mixxx on Apple silicon.
Controller Backend:
Modernized Javascript ES7 based controller mapping system. HID backend rework.

Importing From Other DJ Software:
Import cue points, track colors, and playlists from Serato file tags & database #2480 #2526 #2499 #2495 #2673 #3885
Note: Mixxx does not yet support multiple loops per track. We are working on this for Mixxx 2.4. In Mixxx 2.3, if you import a track with multiple loops from Serato, Mixxx will use the first loop cue as the single loop Mixxx currently supports. The imported loops are still stored in Mixxx’s database and are treated as hotcues in Mixxx 2.3. If you do not delete these hotcues, they will be usable as loops in Mixxx 2.4. Serato keeps loops and hotcues in separate lists, but Mixxx does not, so loops from Serato are imported starting as hotcue 9
Import cue points, track colors, and playlists from Rekordbox USB drives #2119 #2555 #2543 #2779
Note: The first Rekordbox memory cue is imported for the main cue button in Mixxx and the remaining Rekordbox memory cues are imported as Mixxx hotcues, starting with the next hotcue number after the last hotcue from Rekordbox
Note: Mixxx does not yet support multiple loops per track. Imported loops from Rekordbox are treated like imported loops from Serato, so refer to the note above for details

Multithreaded analysis for much faster batch analysis on multicore CPUs #1624 #2142 lp:1641153
Fix bugs affecting key detection accuracy #2137 #2152 #2112 #2136
Note: Users who have not manually corrected keys are advised to clear all keys in their library by pressing Ctrl + A in the library, right clicking, going to Reset -> Key, then reanalyzing their library. This will freeze the GUI while Mixxx clears the keys; this is a known problem that we will not be able to fix for 2.3. Wait until it is finished and you will be able to reanalyze tracks for better key detection results

Shoutcast / Icecast support
Mixxx can now broadcast over the internet (heavily requested feature)
External Mixer Support
The new Sound Hardware preferences pane allows you to route each playback deck separately, which allows you to use Mixxx with an external mixer.
ReplayGain normalization
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.
Waveform Gain
The scrolling waveforms now scale according to the channel gain for better visual feedback.
Key lock buttons
Formerly known as "pitch-independent time stretch", there are now easily accessible key-lock buttons for each for deck.
Revamped default skin
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.

Mixxx now supports firewire HSS1394 MIDI devices such as the Stanton SCS.1 series.
Improved FLAC support
We're now using libFLAC directly for smoother FLAC decoding.
Revamped metadata parsing
Integration of TagLib allows Mixxx to parse more metadata from songs, and do it more consistently.
Metadata writing
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.
Millisecond time display
The time counters in Mixxx now have an extra millisecond display.
Library improvements:
Played column - 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.
Ratings column - 5 stars, no stars, or anywhere in between.
Better search - Search now searches in more columns, and by-term instead of by-phrase.
Revamped iTunes integration - A rewrite yielded a significant speedup of iTunes parsing.
Faster library scanning - The library scanner should perform much better on large libraries.
Inline Editing - Double click any item in the track table to edit its contents.
Recording to MP3/Ogg - Now your recordings can be saved in either MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis format.

New in Mixxx 1.8.0 Beta 1 (Feb 5, 2010)

After many months of planning and development, we're finally approaching a beta release of Mixxx 1.8. Since our last release, several major new features have matured and are almost ready for public testing.
Our main focus for 1.8 has been improving the library, which is a direct result of continued feedback from our users. We're also excited to have been able to address several other major feature requests, and we think 1.8 is a big step in the right direction.
Library
The brand new database-powered library is not only faster, but much more flexible as well. The new library features include:
Keep your library organized by sorting your tracks into crates.
Need to take a break for a few minutes? Throw some tracks into the Auto DJ playlist and let Mixxx cover you.
The new Analyze view lets you peek at your recently added tracks and perform batch BPM detection.
A brand new intelligent library scanning algorithm is both quick and accurate at importing new tracks when you launch Mixxx. The library scanner is even smart enough to notice when you've moved tracks around inside your library and preserves any extra metadata you've added in Mixxx like comments and BPMs.
Looping and Ramping Pitch Bend
A major rework of our audio engine also brings looping to the next release of Mixxx. Running out of time to find that perfect next track for your mix? Lay down a loop and buy yourself more time. Unlike the competition, Mixxx has no limitations on the length of your loop, so you can be as creative as you want to be.
Additional work on our mixing engine has lead to a new feature we call ramping pitch bend. Ramping pitch bend helps you add extra smoothness to your mixes by making temporary pitch bends accelerate rather than jump suddenly.
MIDI Enhancements
A brand new MIDI backend completes the rewrite of Mixxx's MIDI code, the first part of which was included in 1.7 and enabled innovative new features like our MIDI scripting engine. The hot new addition for 1.8 is integrated multiple MIDI device support.
AAC and iTunes Support
Mixxx 1.8 can playback DRM-free AAC/M4A files on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. On Windows and OS X, Mixxx can also now see your iTunes library and let you play tracks from it without importing them.
In addition to a 1.8 beta, we're also preparing a 1.7.2 bug fix release. This release will fix MIDI on OS X and improve stability for certain hardware configurations.
2009 has been an exciting year for Mixxx, and 2010 is shaping up to be even better. As the year closes, we'd like to thank all of our generous contributors and supporters. We hope you're looking forward to next year as much as we are!
