Mixxx 2.1 beta

Post by Be. »

After two years of hard work, the Mixxx team is pleased to announce Mixxx 2.1 beta. We have overhauled the effects system, redesigned the skins, added and improved lots of controller mappings, rewrote the audio file decoders twice, and of course fixed a bunch of bugs. Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu users can download installers here. Updated installers will be available whenever we make changes to the code until the 2.1 release, so keep checking back for new installers. Ubuntu users can also install packages from the PPA and use apt-get to stay up to date. If you want to use 2.1 beta on a GNU/Linux distribution other than Ubuntu, you can compile it from source code.

Here is a quick summary of what is new in Mixxx 2.1:
* Graphical interface scales for high resolution screens
* Overhauled Deere and LateNight skins
* New Tango skin
* Resizable waveforms
* Effects are synchronized to the tempo
* Effects are processed post-fader and post-crossfader and can be previewed in headphones
* One metaknob per effect with customizable parameter control for intuitive use of effect chains
* Nine new effects: Autopan, Biquad Equalizer, Biquad Full Kill Equalizer, Loudness Contour, Metronome, Parametric Equalizer, Phaser, Stereo Balance, Tremolo
* Loaded effects and their parameters are saved and restored when Mixxx restarts
* More transparent sounding equalizers (Biquad Equalizer and Biquad Full Kill Equalizer)
* Improved scratching sounds with jog wheels, vinyl control, and dragging waveforms with the mouse
* Simplified looping and beatjump controls
* Configurable rows of 8 samplers with up to 8 rows available for a total of 64 samplers
* Files loaded to samplers are reloaded when Mixxx restarts
* Improved volume normalization algorithm (EBU-R 128)
* Filter library table by crates
* Sort musical keys in library table by circle of fifths
* Write metadata tags back to audio files
* New JavaScript library for controller mapping
* Configure multiple Internet broadcasting stations and use multiple stations at the same time
* Broadcast and record microphones with direct monitoring and latency compensation
* Broadcast and record from an external mixer
* Booth output with independent gain knob for using sound cards with 6 output channels without an external mixer
* Prevent screensaver from starting while Mixxx is running
* CUP (Cue And Play) cue button mode
* Time remaining and time elapsed now take into account the tempo fader
* Clicking cover art now shows it full size in a separate window
* and of course, lots and lots of bug fixes.

Updated controller mappings and other details are in the full announcement on the Mixxx forum.
