DJ MIXING SOFTWARE

Four Decks

Drop a song onto a deck in Mixxx to start playing right away. Keep your eye on beats and cue points with a scratchable, scrolling waveform together with a whole-song overview waveform for quick seeking.

Pitch and Key Control

Change the tempo of songs without changing their pitch with keylock, or change the pitch without breaking sync so your songs play in harmony. Temporarily nudge the tempo faster or slower for manual beatmatching, with smooth changes in pitch just like vinyl.

Beat Looping

Need to extend your mix while you bring in the next track? Instantly loop a 4, 8, or 16 beat segment with ease.

Master Sync

Engage master sync on your decks and they'll stay locked in time even if you change speed. Construct remixes on the fly with multiple tracks and loops without losing control.

Hotcues

Set hotcues to mark places in tracks. Remix and mash up tracks with accurate, rapid-fire hotcue triggering.

 

 

Beat Rolls and Censor

Play with rhythm by triggering short loops and reverse-playback effects. The track stays in time so you don't miss a beat.

Quantization

Mark and activate cue points and loops exactly on beat every time.

Broad Format Support

Compatible with music files in lossless FLAC, WAV, and AIFF formats as well as lossy MP3, M4A/AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Opus formats.

EQ and Crossfader Control

Choose between multiple equalizers and isolators with adjustable shelves. Crossfader curve control lets you deliver quick cuts or long, smooth crossfades.

 

 

Customizable DJ Hardware Support

Mixxx plays nice with a variety of hardware without artificial restrictions or exclusive vendor lock-ins. Use whatever gear you want to build your unique setup.

MIDI and HID Controller Support

Included Presets

for controllers such as the Pioneer DDJ-SB2, Numark Mixtrack Pro 3, Allen & Heath Xone K2, Hercules DJ Console Series, and many more.

Supported Devices

Programmable Mapping Engine

For creative tinkerers, controller mappings can be customized with the full flexibility of the JavaScript programming language. MIDI or HID messages can be mapped onto custom functions which execute complex behaviour.

 

Free Timecode Vinyl Control

Control your digital music files from turntables or CDJs and a mixer using timecoded vinyl or CDs. Grab the music as if it was pressed onto wax and scratch to your heart's content. Mixxx is the only free timecode vinyl control software for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Sampler Decks

Load up to 64 sampler decks full of sounds to layer over your mix.

Effects Chains

Link up to three effects in a chain for a unique twist on your mix. Fine tune your sound by tweaking each parameter individually. Customize your workflow by assigning different parameters to adjust with the effect's metaknob. Focus different effects from a controller for flexible control of effect chains, whether your controller has a full effects section or a single knob.

Sophisticated Music Library

Designed by DJs, for DJs, Mixxx's music library helps organize your music so you can find the perfect next track to play. Powered by a high-performance database, searching your collection is intuitive and fast.

Organization

Crates and Playlists

Sort your music the way you want. Use playlists to plan your set and use crates to build your own categorization system.

Search & Sort

Start typing to find the track you're thinking of, or narrow your search to a specific tag. Sort the library table hierarchically with multiple tags at a time.

 

iTunes and Traktor Library Integration

Drop fresh tracks from your iTunes or Traktor library right into your mix.

MusicBrainz Tag Lookup

Fingerprint your tracks and fetch missing tags from MusicBrainz.

BPM & Key Detection

BPM detection finds the beat in even the toughest rhythms. Musical key detection helps identify tracks that are in harmony. Sort your library by BPM and key to quickly find tracks that will blend in seamlessly.

Auto DJ

Need a break? Create a quick playlist and let Auto DJ take over. Automatic crossfading watches your back until you return.

 

 

Record and Broadcast

Mixxx includes a number of recording and broadcasting features to help you share your mixes and spread your name.

Recording

Record your live mixes to the lossless WAV and FLAC formats or lossy Ogg Vorbis format, with MP3 recording enabled by the separate LAME library. Recordings are automatically archived in the library for fast access.

Live Broadcasting

Stream your mixes live over the Internet to your audience and friends through a Shoutcast or Icecast server.

ReplayGain Normalization

Song loudness is automatically adjusted when loading a deck so your mixes maintain a consistent volume. Mixxx reads existing ReplayGain tags and analyzes songs that don't have them.

Microphone & Auxiliary Inputs

Whether you're collaborating with a vocalist, giving shoutouts on the air, or improvising on your guitar, integrate live audio input into your mix. Four microphone inputs and four auxiliary inputs let you include different sound sources without needing an external hardware mixer. Latency compensation keeps your recorded and broadcasted mixes in time when using direct monitoring.
