Mixxx
Mixxx
is an open
source DJ tool designed for both professional and amateur DJs. Wave,
ogg and mp3 files can be mixed on the PC for use in live
performances.
Filters, crossfader, and speed control are provided. Mixxx can
sync
the 2 streams automatically, using an algorithm to detect the beat.
Mixxx
is designed with a strong focus on interaction. Mixxx is easy to use
for novice and professional DJ's, also when going live. Integration
with Prokyon3, a music management application, is now possible for
efficient access to your music library.
Mixxx works with Jack or
OSS, and can be controlled from the Graphical User Interface or from
external controllers, including MIDI devices and joysticks. The
software also has support for skins.
