Mixxx 1.9.0 – Programa para DJs

Escrito por Flopy • 4 Comentarios

Se encuentra disponible una nueva actualización de Mixxx, una aplicación para disc jockeys que permite hacer mezclas.

Esta versión (1.9.0) trae la siguiente lista de cambios:

Shoutcast / Icecast support

Mixxx can now broadcast over the internet (heavily requested feature)

External Mixer Support

The new Sound Hardware preferences pane allows you to route each playback deck separately, which allows you to use Mixxx with an external mixer.

ReplayGain normalization

A user from our forum worked closely with our developers to fully implement volume normalization, including performing the ReplayGain analysis for tracks which are not tagged.

Waveform Gain

The scrolling waveforms now scale according to the channel gain for better visual feedback.

Key lock buttons

Formerly known as “pitch-independent time stretch”, there are now easily accessible key-lock buttons for each for deck.

Revamped default skin

Since the original source material for the Outline Netbook skin was lost eons ago, our artist completely redid it from scratch and tweaked it for better visibility. The new skin has also added EQ kill switches.

HSS1394 support (Windows, OS X)

Mixxx now supports firewire HSS1394 MIDI devices such as the Stanton SCS.1 series.

Improved FLAC support

We’re now using libFLAC directly for smoother FLAC decoding.

Revamped metadata parsing

Integration of TagLib allows Mixxx to parse more metadata from songs, and do it more consistently.

Metadata writing

Mixxx can now write changes in song metadata back to disk. This feature is off by default, and can be enabled in the Library preferences pane.

Millisecond time display

The time counters in Mixxx now have an extra millisecond display.

Library improvements:

Played column – The library now indicates whether a song has been played in the current session already, and also counts the total number of times the song has been played.

Ratings column – 5 stars, no stars, or anywhere in between.

Better search - Search now searches in more columns, and by-term instead of by-phrase.

Revamped iTunes integration – A rewrite yielded a significant speedup of iTunes parsing.

Faster library scanning – The library scanner should perform much better on large libraries.

Inline Editing - Double click any item in the track table to edit its contents.

Recording to MP3/Ogg - Now your recordings can be saved in either MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis format.

New MIDI mappings:

Vestax Typhoon

Vestax Spin

Hercules DJ Console Mk4

Numark MIXTRACK

Pioneer CDJ-350

Updated MIDI mappings:

Hercules DJ Control MP3

Hercules DJ Control e2

Hercules DJ Control Steel

Vestax VCI-100

M-Audio Xponent

Tons of bug fixes and performance improvements!
