Hi Adam,

Unfortunately, I've not yet had a chance to play with it myself on OSX, so I
can't say for how it works, but I can tell you how it works on Windows and
Linux...

Mixxx only comes with the plug-in mappings for a handful of LADSPA plugins
(see http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/ladspa), we don't actually
distribute the actual plugins with Mixxx, they must be either built or
downloaded separately.   I've had success using the Audacity prebuilt
plug-ins for Windows and Ubuntu LADSPA packages (seen on the wiki page), so
there is a good chance prebuilt ones for OSX will work too (if we haven't
messed up the paths).

2 of the 5 (DJFlanger and karoke) we have plug-in mappings come from "swh",
it looks like there is a Mac package available from SWH from here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/plugins...  So it might be easiest
to start there.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

-G
