Skins

/usr/share/mixxx/skins/NewSkin


  • https://github.com/timewasternl/Pioneered - Pioneer inspired theme for smaller screen resolutions. It has been designed to 'extend' a MIDI controller. Designed for use with the DDJ-400 with Raspberry Pi standalone mod (link).




Controller scripting


[Master]maximize_library




  • mixco - based on the NodeJS JavaScript development environment, a series of factory controller scripts, a framework for creating hardware controller scripts for the amazing Mixxx DJ software. It makes the process easier and faster, and resulting scripts are often more robust, ready to be rock big parties. Mixco comes with a series of factory controller scripts for Novation Twitch, Korg Nanokontrol 2, M-Audio Xponent. They are well documented and their code serves as good tutorial on how to use the framework.




Library helpers


  • https://github.com/TriWitch/mixxx-helpers - Some helper libraries for managing the mixxxx library (the os DJ tool), such as batch playlist import/export, copying the library from one device to another etc.



  • https://github.com/FrankwaP/mixxx-utils - fix_track_paths is a Python tool to fix the tracks paths, using the informations from your music player database. It is usefull when the file has been renamed or if the track is now in another format (for example you wanted a better quality format and went from a mp3 to a flac file). It works with Clementine's database so far, but it won't be hard to add other players' databases. mixxx_to_rekordbox_xml - export your Mixxx library into the Rekorbox XML format and YES IT EXPORTS THE PLAYLISTS, HOT CUES AND BEATGRIDS :-, then you can import the XML file in Rekordbox to prepare a USB key (Rekorbox is free for this use, and can probably run on Wine).


Importing


Exporting





  • https://github.com/faithvoid/MixxxUtilities - m3ustrip removes all folder information from .m3u/.m3u8 files. Useful for carrying your sets (including hotcues, BPM, etc, on a USB if you combine it with the "Write Serato Metadata" function in Mixxx, as importing them without folder data will have the playlist default to the same folder the playlist file is in. My use case for this is I keep all my Mixxx sets in subfolders in a folder labelled "Mixxx" on my USB drive. I'll export my a new set into a new folder in the "Mixxx" set folder, import it into m3ustrip, export the result in the "Mixxx" set folder, and then my set is ready to be imported into another installation of Mixxx on a seperate computer from any directory (either directly from the USB or any folder on the new system)! setlistbackup.py - Generates an .XLS spreadsheet file inside all subfolders the script is run in, which backs up ID3 metadata of artists/songs/albums and genres contained in the subfolder.


Translating


Rekordbox
  • https://github.com/Feelisreal/MIXXX2Rekordbox - small Python script that exports a MIXXX Library (From the SQLite DB) to an XML File that can be imported in Rekordbox. It is intended for Djays that use MIXXX as their main Djaying tool at home and want a quick and simple way to export their Library (including hotcues, Colorcoding, Playlists and Crates) to Pioneer Rekordbox so they can take all their work from MIXXX to the big stage and use it in Clubs and Venues on Pioneer Equipment.



Playback helpers






  • https://github.com/carlesfelix/2mixxx - allows you to request songs to the DJ (guest user) or moderate song requests (DJ user). This application also allows DJs to have full control over the songs that can be requested by importing their iTunes libraries into the application.

Other helpers



Standalone hardware


  • https://github.com/LorenzoBalducci96/custom-cdj - A raspberry-pi Cdj project realized with the usage of mixxx for the audio software and Arduino Leonardo for input reading. The MIDI protocol is used for the communication between Arduino and the Raspberry.







Development

BpmDj

  • BpmDj - Free DJ tools contains an automatic & accurate BPM counter. Determines sound color, rythm & echo. The player provides measurejumps, persistent cue's and beatgraphs. The program requires multiple dsp's or computers. http://bpmdj.yellowcouch.org/

Data Jockey

  • Data Jockey - largely centered around a database of music and information about this music. The music is provided by the user. The information about the music is gathered from audio file meta data (information from id3 tags), computed through feature extraction techniques, and also provided directly by the user. Numerical data items, usually computed, are referred to as 'descriptors'. Textual data items, usually provided by the user, are referred to as 'tags'. Tags allow users to provide their own organization schemes.

DJPlay

  • DJPlay - aims to be a high class live DJing application for Linux. old.

olaboola

  • olaboola - cyber-shamanic noise-maker. oolaboola is a digital DJ tool. It allows you to mix .wav files in real-time modifying their rate of play, levels etc. Various facets of its behavior can be controlled via an rc file, environment variables, and command-line options. Settings provided by more than one of those override each other in that same order.

Development died in 2000

CatDeck

DJUCED

  • DJUCED - This advanced, high-performance solution for DJs allows you to mix, remix and host parties with ease. Designed for experienced DJs, DJUCED nonetheless offers an ergonomic interface, performance assistance features and scalable content, ensuring a quick start-up and limitless creativity. DJUCED allows you to perform classic two-deck mixes, or to select a four-deck remix display, dedicated to performance.

Serato


Stemgen

  • Stemgen - a Stem file generator. Convert any track into a Stem and have fun with Traktor. A Stem file is an open, multi-channel audio file that contains a track split into four musical elements – bass, drums, vocals, and melody, for example. With each element available independently, you have more control over the music you play. Stemgen uses demucs to separate the 4 stems and ni-stem to create the Stem file.

Vinyl


xwax

  • xwax - an open-source Digital Vinyl System (DVS) for Linux. It allows DJs and turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded vinyls. It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel just like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself. The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and fast.

Digital-Scratch

  • Digital-Scratch - a software that analyzes motions (rotation speed and direction) of a vinyl disc played by a turntable. It also provides a nice and simple player that play your favorite tracks allowing you to mix as you would do it with regular records.

terminatorX

  • terminatorX - realtime audio synthesizer, allows “scratching” on digitally sampled audio data (*.wav, *.au, *.ogg, *.mp3, etc.) the way hiphop-DJs scratch on vinyl records. It features multiple turntables, realtime effects (buit-in as well as LADSPA plugin effects), a sequencer and MIDI interface – all accessible through an easy-to-use gtk+ GUI.

PiDeck

Digital-Scratch

  • Digital-Scratch - vinyl disc emulation software. analyzes motions (rotation speed and direction) of a vinyl disc played by a turntable.It also provides a nice and simple player that play your favorite tracks allowing you to mix as you would do it with regular records.Select a tune on the player and start your turntable.

Other

DiscoDOS

  • https://github.com/JOJ0/discodos - command0line tool to help a DJ remember and analyze what they played in their sets, or what they could possibly play in the future. It's based on data pulled from a users Discogs record collection. Tracks can be organized into playlists and mix-transitions rated. Additionally the collection can be linked to the online music information services MusicBrainz and AcousticBrainz, thus further information (like musical key and BPM) is made available to the user.DiscoDOS primarily aims at the Vinyl DJ but features for "Hybrid-Vinyl-Digital-DJs" are planned

MadJACK

  • MadJACK - a MPEG Audio Deck for the Jack Audio Connection Kit with an OSC based control interface. It was written as a backend for DJ music playback and is released under the GPL license.

SC1000

  • https://github.com/rasteri/SC1000 - portable digital scratch instrument which loads samples and beats from a USB stick. At less than the size of three stacked DVD cases, it’s probably the smallest integrated portablist solution ever. Despite this, the software and hardware have been carefully tuned and optimised, and it’s responsive enough for even the most complex scratch patterns.
