Mixxx integrates the tools DJs need to perform creative live mixes with digital music files. Whether you are a new DJ with just a laptop or an experienced turntablist, Mixxx can support your style and techniques of mixing.

Features

Dual Decks, Advanced Controls

Drop a song onto a deck in Mixxx to kick off your next mix. Each deck features a scratchable, scrolling waveform that marks beats and cue points, along with a whole-song waveform overview for quick seeking.

Time Stretch and Vinyl Emulation

Speed up and slow down songs without changing their pitch with time stretching. Our high-quality interpolator can also reproduce classic vinyl sounds like backspins.

Beat Looping

Found a sweet loop or need to extend your mix while you prep the next track? Instantly loop a 4, 8, or 16 beat segment with the click of a button.

Hotcues

Four hotcue points can be dropped or triggered with ease. Our playback engine is finely tuned for accurate, rapid fire hotcue triggering so you can mash and remix as hard as you want to without a hiccup.

Intuitive Pitchbend

Ramping pitchbend ensures any tempo nudging is smoothly applied, just like with vinyl.

Broad Format Support

Our mature audio decoders deliver pristine sound with rock-solid stability. Mixxx plays MP3, M4A/AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAVE, and AIFF formats.

EQ and Crossfader Control

Mixxx features audiophile butterworth filters with adjustable EQ shelves. Crossfader curve control lets you deliver quick cuts or long, smooth crossfades.

iTunes Integration

All your playlists and songs from iTunes, automatically ready to go for your next live DJ performance.

DJ MIDI Controller Support

With over 30 DJ MIDI controllers supported out-of-the-box, Mixxx gives you comprehensive hardware control for your DJ mixes.

BPM Detection and Sync

Instantly sync the tempo of two songs for seamless beatmixing. Need a break? Create a quick playlist and let Auto DJ take over.

Powerful Mixing Engine

Mixxx has a cutting-edge mixing engine including support for MP3, M4A/AAC, OGG, and FLAC audio, adjustable EQ shelves, timecode vinyl control, recording, and Shoutcast broadcasting.

What's New

We're proud to announce a new stable release of Mixxx: version 2.5.6. This version contains updates and fixes for issues, as well as improvements to effects, controller mappings, and overall stability. This should be the last 2.5 release. Note that this version is the successor of version 2.5.4 because version 2.5.5 has been skipped following an issue in the release workflow. We'd like to thank all users for their feedback and emphasize once again the importance of testing and reporting. Please join our team to help make Mixxx even better.

Enjoy Mixxx!
