Mixxx 2.5.3 Release Announcement: Back to School, back to DVS. We're proud to announce a new stable release of Mixxx: version 2.5.3, this version not only contains updates and fixes for some issues reported by users, but it also contains improvements to the Digital Vinyl System (DVS) support. These improvements are the result of some bright new insights of developers spinning the wheel instead of sunbathing. Since these improvements drastically improve the vinyl experience, we have chosen to backport 1 it to the 2.5 series instead of integrating it in future alpha & beta versions. Have a nice Mixxx. Digital Vinyl System - Timecode System. An introduction to Digital Vinyl Systems and timecode can be found in this article on the site of Digital DJ Tips, and in our own news archive: How Does Timecode Vinyl Actually Work? (Pt. 1), How Does Timecode Vinyl Actually Work? (Pt. 2) and How Does Timecode Vinyl Actually Work? (Pt. 3). Mixxx plays the song by following the signal on the timecode media, which gets internally converted to actual timeframes. So the DJ controls the playback of the digital music by manipulating vinyl or CDs. In order to create a vinyl-like feeling, the song needs to follow the signal as closely as possible (low latency, fast responsiveness) for e.g. scratching or backspins. There is no 'standard' signal - each manufacturer uses its own code. One thing all manufacturers have in common is that the code is modulated onto a sine wave. The code is used for…

Release notes

Winter and Summer are coming Contrasts. As the leaves fall and the first snowflakes start drifting down in the North, while the southern skies start warming up with summer sun, we are thrilled to finally release Mixxx 2.4.2! "Finally" because a bit later than planned, perfection can take some time. So we are proud to present you this release, a major bugfix-release for the 2.4 series before stepping over to a new number. Don't be scared, development won't hibernate. Testing and translating A special thank you to everyone who takes the time to test alpha and beta versions, to who report issues and proposals and to those who propose features and improvements. Your feedback is invaluable. A lot of new users and contributors have joined our community the past months, we'd like to welcome them all, spin it up, your energy and fresh ideas have already left a mark. Everybody can contribute to Mixxx. Did you find an error on the website, an incomplete subject in the manual, an error in translation? Contribute. Treasure hunt When you dive into the code to add a feature or when you are looking for a function when you want to customize a mapping, you can discover small little snippets, real pearls, the intensive work of someone to make a function smoother, to let an algorithm work some milliseconds faster, to offer a conversion of a value to another without having to write it all over again. For all these little snippets, for all these forgotten pearls: thank you to all who ever…
