I use both serato feels a lot tighter but you get more features with mixxx, however I don't care for features (apart from recording mixes). I use mixxx at home as I can use my laptop withubuntu. I like how easy serato is, just plug n play. They're both free so just try em both. Mar 04, 2017 Solder the end of the wire to the first potentiometer. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all other potentiometers in this line (4 in my case). Repeat steps 2-7 for the black wire. Take another 4 wires, and strip off the insulation. Solder one end to the center pin of one of the potentiometers.

Mixxx is free and open-source software for DJing.[2] It is cross-platform and supports most common music file formats. Mixxx can be controlled with MIDI and HID controllers and timecode vinyl records in addition to computer keyboards and mice.
Overview[edit]
Mixxx is a DJ Automation and digital DJ performance application[3] and includes many features common to digital DJ solutions as well as some unique ones: It natively supports advanced MIDI and HID DJ controllers, is licensed under the GPL (v2.0 or later) and runs on all major desktopoperating systems.[4] The project was started in early 2001 for a doctoral thesis as one of the first digital DJing systems.[5] Over 1,000,000 downloads of the app occur annually and as of Mixxx 1.10.0, 100 developers and artists have helped create Mixxx. Recent versions support harmonic mixing and beatmatching, both manually and automatically.[6]
Format support[edit]
Mixxx can read most popular audio formats, including MP3, Vorbis, Opus, AIFF and FLAC. v1.8 introduces a plug-in system to be able to read other formats, including patent-encumbered ones whose decoders cannot legally be distributed in binary form with Mixxx, such as Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). Any such plug-ins are automatically loaded at run-time if present. Mixxx can also play module files when compiled with the
modplug=1
build flag., and can use LV2 plugins for effects.Hardware[edit]
Any sound card that is supported by the operating system is usable in Mixxx. Mixxx supports various software APIs for using sound cards on different operating systems, namely ASIO, WASAPI, and DirectSound on Windows; OSS, ALSA, and JACK on Linux; and CoreAudio on Mac OS X, all via PortAudio.
For external hardware control, Mixxx can support any MIDI or HID controller as long as there is a mapping to tell Mixxx how to interpret the controller's signals. Mixxx includes mappings for many DJ controllers and users can create their own mappings as well.[7] It is the only DJ software capable of using a fully featured programming language, JavaScript, for creating mappings with advanced controller interaction and feedback.[8]
Turntables and CDJ media players can control Mixxx with the timecode control sub-system which is built on xwax. Like xwax, Mixxx supports timecode vinyl made by several manufacturers.[9]

Reception[edit]
One of the free and open-source applications available in the Mac App Store, in less than 48 hours from debut in February 2011,[10] Mixxx became the #1 Top Free App in the USA, Germany, and Italy.[11]
Mixxx has been accepted as a mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code 2007[12], 2008[13], 2010,[14] 2011,[15] 2012,[16] 2013,[17]2014,[18] 2016,[19] 2017[20], 2018[21], 2020[22].

Interfacing to Mixxx via MIDI (Linux)
This tutorial explains how to drive QLC+ via MIDI from Mixxx. Mixxx is an open source DJ application, running on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. The light effects are geared to a disco setup and we will use the beat detection of Mixxx to drive light effects synchronized with music.
The instructions were tested on Linux, but Windows or Mac OSX should be similar.
Prepare and configure Mixxx
We need Mixxx to send information about the music via MIDI to QLC+. For this capability we need a plugin script in Mixxx which sends the information as MIDI events.
- Install Mixx, I used version 1.11
- Install the 'MIDI_for_light' script from this (Mixxx forum thread)The script files (xms + js) must be installed in /usr/share/mixxx/controllers.
- Run Mixxx in developer mode with the command 'mixxx --developer'.This is necessary because Mixxx hides the 'Midi Through' interface but we need it.
- Start Mixxx, go to 'Options - Preferences - Controllers', select 'Midi Through', enable it and load the Preset 'MIDI for light' from the list.
This will enable the sending of Midi events. You can now run a midi monitor, like 'kmidimon', connect it to the 'Midi Through' device and look at the all the events. Be careful, Mixxx sends 40 events 25 times per second. It to my kmdimon only a minute or two to hang because of overload.
Configure QLC+
Now we have Mixxx sending us lots of interesting data and want QLC+ to do something with it.
- Install QLC+, I used version 4.8.2
- Define your fixtures and functions as usual
- In the 'Inputs/Outputs' panel, select the 'MIDI Through' device as input
- Select the MIDI Through device and click on plugin configuration and configure the 'Midi Through' device. Then:
- Set the 'Midi' Channel to 1
- Set the 'Mode' to 'Note Velocity'
- Leave the 'Init Message' on 'None'
- Push EXIT button.
- In the Profile tab of the 'Inputs/Outputs' screen, add a new Input Profile. I called it 'Mixxx' and model 'MIDI'.
Here we need to add a Channel for each MIDI message we expect from Mixxx. The list of Midi messages is documented in the file 'VU-Meter_Info.txt' you got with the Mixxx plugin script.- First we add a channel for the BPM info (not documented in the file).
Add a channel, name it 'BPM', Type is 'Button', Midi channel is '1', Message is 'Note On/Off', Parameter is 101. - Then we add all channels with the volume information
Add a channel, name it 'Volume - absolute', Type is 'Slider', Midi channel is '1', Message is 'Note On/Off', Parameter is 101. - Repeat this for all channels you find interesting
The relative volume channels can give interesting light effects, the absolute volume is less interesting
- First we add a channel for the BPM info (not documented in the file).
- Now go to your Virtual Console and start using the MIDI signals. Here two examples:
- Configure the BPM to advance a cue list on each beat
In your Cue list, in the 'Next Cue' tab, click on 'Choose', expand the 'Mixxx MIDI' line and pick BPM from the list. Your cue list will now advance with the beat of the music, as determined by the Mixxx beat detection. - Make a lamp light up with the Volume of the music (VU meter)
Configure a Slider, on the 'General' tab, under 'External input' click on 'Choose' and select a channel of your choosing, for example 'Volume absolute'. The selected Fixture will now light up with the volume of the music, like a giant VU meter.
- Configure the BPM to advance a cue list on each beat
