[Mixxx-devel] Mixxx 2.1.0 Released!
Hello everyone. In case you haven't yet heard, Mixxx 2.1.0 is out now! After more than two years of hard work, we are pleased to announce the release of Mixxx 2.1! Since Mixxx 2.0, we have overhauled the effects system, redesigned the skins, added and improved lots of controller mappings, rewrote the audio file decoders twice, and of course fixed a bunch of bugs. Full information on the blog: https://mixxxblog.blogspot.com/2018/04/mixxx-210-has-arrived.html Also, we've moved from IRC to Zulip for chat, so if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of Mixxx, head over there: https://mixxx.zulipchat.com/ We're discussing v2.2 and other future development topics there, so you'll see less on this mailing list. (Of note, we're finally switching to Qt5 and can use your help testing and filing bugs.) Thanks for your attention, work on this release and continued interest in Mixxx! Sincerely, Sean M.

That /would/ be very handy in allowing users up the expertise chain (so to speak) troubleshoot/develop mappings with the hardware owners. The only thing I would suggest to make that process work well is to create a bonehead-easy way for a very non-technical user to create a virtual representation of their controller. (I'm thinking a GUI with a wizard that walks them through the process, automating as much as possible. Like have them take a photo of the device with their cell phone or Web cam, then try to auto-identify controls in the image so the user needs only edit their properties and move them around a bit instead of having to create them all manually.) That also lessens the responsibility for you and the OpenAV team to have to create virtual devices yourselves from every controller ever made. > it > hopes to allow accessing HD screens on > all Ctlra supported devices, and get tight integration to the next level. That sounds good on the surface, but wouldn't that then restrict the ability of applications to style the information on the screens to a set of pre-defined designs/layouts Ctrla supplies? I imagine a DJ application like Mixxx will want to use the screens quite differently than an audio editing application like Audacity or a DAW like Ardour. Another argument for not having another translation layer is performance, especially where low-latency response is expected from a DJ application with a moving-platter controller for example that sends over 1000 messages per second. How much latency does Ctrla add at the moment? Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Proper way to query DB (re: duplicate detection)
Hello. I understand you want to access it programmatically. I've never done that, but I know you can use SQLite Database Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) to do so interactively and it's just a matter of pointing it to the DB file. So I imagine you could just follow standard examples from the SQLite docs to create an application to access it. (Mixxx just uses Qt's DB abstraction layers so we have the option of changing the DB back-end in the future if it's ever warranted. Otherwise there's nothing special.) Sincerely, Sean M.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] infrastructure modernization
For the record, GitLab looks really interesting and exciting to me as well. If we were a new project, we could go there in a heartbeat. But we have to consider all of the not-fun practical matters and repercussions of migration of a large and storied existing project.

In the case of improving Launchpad, our work would be submitted upstream, to go live on Launchpad.net. We won't have to move or change anything, just make the existing platform better. Seems like the best return on effort invested to me. > A lot, if not most, of the stuff on our Launchpad bug tracker is old > noise with incomplete information. Please do not make sweeping assertions like this without data. In reality, 2774 (or 73.5%) of the bugs in the system are either confirmed (adequate information,) being worked on, or already fixed.

Everyone please take a look at the list of problems with LP at the top of https://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/launchpad_migration and add any you feel are missing. After a few days, I'll create bugs for each (and link them to an "Improve/Replace Launchpad" blueprint ;) ) then we can all vote on those that matter most to us as a fair way of prioritizing the needs.

Never mind the work it would take to do a migration, work that would be better spent on Mixxx itself, IMO. So the question is: how much more productive would we be if bug and blueprint tracking was integrated with code hosting? Put another way, how much is the current separation impairing productivity? (Keep in mind that Launchpad supports Git now, so it would be possible to move code hosting back there, solving this particular concern.) > Filing Bug inside Mixxx would be the most convenient solution. Sure. The only problem is that we would have no way to communicate back to the user (since the bug filer would be a bot account) without having to create a separate E-mail thread. That would be quite a step backwards, especially since it's not hard (anymore) to create an LP account. (Plus if we make it too easy to file, we'll get low-quality bug reports.) We already have the "submit feedback" Google form which seems to be working well as it has hundreds of responses. (I need to check on how to publish them.) And indeed some are not useful. > Launchpad offers to communicate via email. Maybe there is a solution > to send Emails from Mixxx to Launchpad? Even better, it has a full Web API: https://help.launchpad.net/API/ (Which could be used for migration too.) Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

[Mixxx-devel] Authentication consolidation
Hello everyone. In an effort to reduce the number of sites at which one needs to register for Mixxx's various services, I am in the process of implementing OpenID Connect wherever possible so you will be able to use your existing Facebook, Google or GitHub accounts to log in, starting with the forums and wiki. Since E-mail address is the unique key for this process, those of you with multiple accounts that have the same E-mail address on any of our services will be getting a message from me asking for the user name you prefer to access the given service. Please respond to that ASAP so we can cull the duplicates and activate the consolidated login process.

If your modem presents its audio channel(s) as a sound card, you could select it as one of the vinyl control inputs, then set that deck to pass-through. The only problem is that the caller won't hear the audio from Mixxx. You might be best off using something like JACK to set up the audio routing external to Mixxx. That again would require the modem to present as a sound card. Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

I figure making it a subdirectory of the root would make the most sense.

(Otherwise waiting on user manual updates will block the process.) And documenting how the feature works is of course much easier when you've just recently worked on it. The manual is also stored in GitHub here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual It uses reStructuredText and you can clone it just like any code base or edit it right on GitHub. See the ReadMe at the link for details. We are able to generate Web pages (http://mixxx.org/manual/latest/) and PDFs (https://mixxx.org/manual/latest/Mixxx-Manual.pdf) from the same reST source. Thanks everyone for helping with this as the project leads continue to fix the release process. Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

Essentially, since most Mixxx users don't have high-end hardware and/or want to test out VC before buying additional gear. But we've never tested or heard reports of others trying it on higher-end gear, so we don't really know how well it would work in practice. At best, results will vary depending on the specific sound card and environment.

It can work in a pinch, but it's not as reliable. Read on to find out why. > the Serato timecode is just a 1 kHz sine > wave Not quite. The absolute position is present in a higher-frequency component. Simply increasing the gain that much also amplifies the (analog) noise significantly, of which there is much inside a computer (low-quality and integrated sound cards make it worse.) Then the "bit crushing" from so much digital gain introduces quantization noise. Not to mention that the longer the unbalanced phono-level signal from the stylus travels in the physical wires between the turntable and the ADC in the sound card, the greater the chance it has to pick up external noise. (This may be one reason why the phono cables on the original SL-1200 and MK2 were hard-wired: to discourage using longer ones.) All of these noise sources can interfere with the high-frequency part of the time code signal, causing VC to lose absolute position often (and even relative position if any spurious noise is around the frequency of the "carrier" wave of the control signal in use.) And of course pass-through would sound horrible. The inverse RIAA EQ gives an advantage here since it boosts frequencies above 1kHz far less than it does those below. So it might be interesting to try gaining up the signal non-linearly (following the inverse RIAA EQ) in software and see how it performs. But quantization noise would still be present (though you can try shaped dithering, increasing CPU load) so using a phono preamp is still the best practice which is why we recommend it.

I've needed this because I only have one real record deck at the moment. Of course this will be useful anyway for digital tracks when no timecode vinyl is available (and possibly other uses). I'm having some trouble writing the Python code as I'm not that familiar with Python. But have the pitch control working using Audaspace now. It does not play backwards yet and I need to add some of the Blender friction physics simulations to make the brake sound right.

We actually planned to do one just a few months after 2.0.0 was released but our build server died. We've been preparing a replacement but life and work commitments have not allowed us to spend as much time on it as we need to. The current status: - Ubuntu builder is operational. - Windows builder is functional for 64-bit builds but they're not reliable yet. (Currently the test fixtures won't run because mixxx-test.exe can't find a DLL that is present on the system.) More time is needed to test, debug and fix the environment. It's also awaiting larger disks for space to create the 32-bit build environment which will itself likely need some tweaking. - OSX builder is operational but requires a permanent home with specific hardware requirements. (It's been down for a few weeks now.) The server Renegade Tech is using needs more testing to see if it can run the image. (Initial tests were not successful.) Only when we can build reliably on all five platform and architecture combinations can we do another release. Thank you everyone for your continued interest and patience! Sincerely, Sean M.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] thoughts about our windows build env
Hi again, another thought: RJ was at one time working on Windows cross-compiling from Linux. Where did that leave off, RJ? IMHO, spending the time getting that working would be more fruitful since it would be MUCH easier for us to maintain. The only downside is that Windows users would need access to a Linux box or VM to build Mixxx themselves. But we could provide a packaged Linux VM with the build env ready to go.

We have not tested with VS Community. We use Visual Studio Express (but
want to use just the Visual C++ Build Tools in the future) and have most
recently tested using "Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop."
(This is what is installed on our new build server but we are still
tweaking it to get it to work. This is why we haven't been producing
nightly Windows builds yet.)

nmake is a Visual Studio command-line tool. You will need to install
either the VC++ Build Tools or VS Express to get both this and the C++
compilers as well as a number of other needed utilities like the
linkers. (If you'd like to help our testing, try with the Build Tools
first and report any issues you come across here:

The purpose of soft-takeover is given in our wiki (http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/midi_scripting#soft-takeover): " To prevent sudden wide parameter changes when the on-screen control [the value of the ControlObject] diverges from a hardware control, use soft-takeover. While it's active on a particular parameter, manipulating the control on the hardware will have no effect until the position of the hardware control is close to that of the software, at which point it will take over and operate as usual. " The algorithm works by looking at the previous and new values from the hardware, how much time has passed between receiving these values, and the current value of the ControlObject in question. I've constructed a truth table that lists every possible combination and whether the new hardware value in each case should be ignored or not. You can view it on the Web here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/master/src/test/SoftTakeoverTruthTable.csv - 'Sides' denotes if the previous and new hardware values are on the same or opposite sides of the current CO value. - 'prev distance' is whether the previous HW value is close to (within 3/128 units) or far away from the current value of the CO. It's a way to determine if the previous HW value affected the CO or not. - 'new distance' is whether the new HW value is close to or far away from the current value of the CO - 'new value arrives' is whether the new HW value arrives soon after (within 50ms) or some time after the previous HW value - 'Ignore' is whether or not the new value should be ignored in this case The default action is to use the new hardware value (ignore == FALSE) except when the new value is far from the current CO value. This is the definition of an abrupt jump and the very thing soft-takeover seeks to eliminate. What I'd like for everyone to do now is review that table. If you think a particular combination is incorrect in (not) ignoring its new value, please state which combination and why. I will now do so here for my exceptions to the above-stated defaults using text diagrams of a slider where p is the previous HW value, n is the new one, and pipe (|) is the current CO value: oppositeclose far soonFALSE p|--n-- Ordinarily this would be ignored due to the abrupt jump, but because the new value arrives soon after the previous one and it crosses the current CO value, the user is quickly whipping the control, so we should not ignore the new value. oppositefar far soonFALSE --p--|--n-- Same reasoning as above. The crossing of the CO value and the speed at which the new value arrives says this is a quickly-moving control so we should not ignore the new value. sameclose far soonFALSE ---|pn- Even though it's an abrupt jump, since the previous HW value affected the CO and the new value arrives soon after that, it's a quickly-moving control so we should not ignore the new value. Thank you for your attention and input. Once we nail down how soft-takeover should behave, we can make sure the tests reflect that behavior (then fix the algorithm if any fail.) Sincerely, Sean M.

I'm confused then. As far as soft-takeover is concerned, it shouldn't care how the on-screen control was moved (whether the user did it with a mouse or AutoDJ did it,) its evaluation of whether to ignore a new hardware value will be the same. Can you re-state your AutoDJ scenario step by step? (You could replace the AutoDJ part with just "move the CF with the mouse.") Use the little text diagrams for each one and say if it occurs soon (within 50ms) or later than the previous. Remember | is the CO value (which AutoDJ or a mouse can change) and 'p' and 'n' are hardware values which only the user can change on the controller. >> You're right, it does indeed make a tiny jump, but it isn't noticeable >> in the audio.

Can you describe a step by step scenario > how a slow controller looses sync without the jump. Sure. On some controllers (I think Hercules RMX is one,) if you move sliders at a normal speed, the controller sends position messages that arrive more than 50ms apart but differ by 2 or 3 values instead of 1, e.g.: B0 10 00 B0 10 01 B0 10 02 B0 10 04 B0 10 07 B0 10 09 B0 10 0C Without that 3-value "gimmie" window, such a controller would lose sync on all but the slowest moves. (At the B0 10 04 step in this example.) > If > we think of a scenario where EQs are reset on track load, they will get > always out of sync if you have tweaked them in the previous track. > If you now just want to move the Controller EQ knob as well back to > center, the EQs are enabled and due to the opposite direction jump and > disabled again.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] hardware donation policy?
Hello. On 12/14/2015 03:19 PM, Be wrote: > I want to ask DJ Tech Tools if they'll donate a MIDI Fighter Twister to > me. Sean mentioned on IRC there may have been some policy regarding > hardware donations. > If there is, it should be clearly on the wiki. Controller loans and donations are procured through business agreements that the Mixxx organization enters into with manufacturers. These agreements and the resulting relationships need to be carefully managed so that Mixxx is seen as professional and taken seriously. To this end, we are bound to adhere to any manufacturers' policies regarding non-disclosure and returns so must keep track of where a given piece of hardware is (i.e. who has it,) who among the community is communicating with the manufacturer about it, what is said in that communication, and the progress of its Mixxx preset. (Hence why there's nothing on the wiki about this: these are responsibilities of a project lead, which I have been for a few years.) So please don't contact manufacturers on Mixxx's behalf. If you did, we would be responsible for the end result, thereby affecting our relationship with that manufacturer. Or more bluntly, if you disappear, the manufacturer will blame us :). (You're certainly free to reach out as an unaffiliated individual and offer to do contract work for them though.) With all of that said, when we do get hardware, we identify someone in the community to lead development of the preset. This involves sending them the device so they can do feature and maintenance work as needed. (The controller would be owned by Mixxx but on indefinite loan to that person.) If they want to retire from that duty, they must let us know and send the device to someone else who will replace them. So if you are interested in adding support to Mixxx for a particular controller to which you don't currently have access, we ask that you do the following: 1) Search the Controller Mappings forum to see if anyone else has already started one for that controller so you don't have to start from nothing (and you can collaborate with the others.) 2) Obtain the MIDI or HID spec document from the manufacturer's Web site and begin writing your preset as best you can based on that alone. 3) When your preset is ready for testing (or if the MIDI/HID spec is not publicly available) let us know. We will then get in touch with our contacts at that manufacturer (or initiate contact if applicable,) and request the spec and/or a demo unit. Hardware requests are much more likely to be granted if a preset has already been written and just needs testing and tuning. (It shows manufacturers that we're serious and not just looking for free stuff. :) ) Thanks for understanding and your interest in adding more controller support! Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] controller mapping guidelines
Hello again, Be. (BTW, I prefer to call them 'presets' because a 'mapping' implies a one-to-one relationship which is not necessarily the case when JS is involved.

(And we're not yet popular enough for the manufacturers to produce and maintain their own Mixxx presets. That would be the ideal situation though!) > *The functionality and quality of documentation among the > community-supported mappings varies.* That's the nature of community-supported presets and why we make the distinction. We always recommend that someone looking to purchase a controller for use with Mixxx choose one on the Certified list. You are correct that better community-supported presets are needed, but increased code quality, while helpful, does not correlate to preset feature-completeness which is what really matters. We have a lack of quality presets because *it's hard to make 100% complete presets*. Preset _code_ quality is not the problem right now. Controller preset quality (both feature coverage and code) will necessarily increase once we have a GUI-based preset creation system that maps everything and is easy to use, no programing required. Until then, we are unwilling to add any additional barriers to contributing. Therefore, on behalf of the project leads (RJ, Owen and I,) Mixxx's policy on adopting controller presets will remain the same. We will include contributed presets that are reported at least usable for core functions submitted via any method. We do not require the use of GitHub PRs for submitting controller presets at this time. We can revisit this discussion after we write and release a GUI-based preset creator that handles all common cases correctly. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts on this topic.

Supporting newer controllers requires either manufacturer cooperation (many of them have their hands tied when they do bundling deals with other DJ software,) or funds to purchase the controllers ourselves, which we definitely don't have because we have no income stream. > ~3/4 mappings in Mixxx are for devices that have been discontinued. That's due to a number of things 1) the market moves so quickly that controllers are discontinued within a year in some cases and 2) a majority of Mixxx users are in situations where second-hand controllers make the most sense for them, so those are what people create presets for. (This latter point isn't a bad thing because people new to Mixxx can try it with whatever controller they already have or can get inexpensively.) > Write the documentation, and people step up to do the work. While good documentation is indeed essential, our experience with many Mixxx users who want to add support for a controller is that they are spooked even by the idea of editing an XML file*, let alone working with JavaScript, despite the extensive documentation on the wiki which was available when the scripting engine was released. *So often that one person made a lighthearted joke about it: http://downloads.mixxx.org/mess/baddudes.gif In short, the average Mixxx user is not a developer by any stretch and has no interest in becoming one. While it's fine to have a developer-friendly work flow (i.e. Github PRs) _available_ for preset contributors, it cannot be required. There are already too many required technical hurdles for non-developer contributors; we certainly can't afford to add another. Remember that Mixxx users are our customers and this (like all user-facing items) is a customer service issue. To that end, what the average user needs most is a GUI preset creation system that can map everything, jog wheels included. (I have plans to make this actually happen even for HID controllers.) They are then free to share these with us any way they are able, be it Github PR, forum post, E-mail attachment, SD card on a carrier pigeon, etc. Again, thank you for your time and interest in improving Mixxx.

So we really just need permission to distribute them with the application, since if we ever change the application's license, it wouldn't necessarily apply to the controller presets themselves. That said, it wouldn't hurt to have preset writers sign the agreement because it would avoid any future confusion. It's just not required. IANAL so correct me if any of this is wrong.

So we need not maintain legacy code at all. So our attitude becomes "You're welcome to try it. If it works, great. If not, oh well."

[Mixxx-devel] Old Windows versions: forbid installation or just warn?
Hello everyone. As Sebastien prepares a WiX-based Windows installer, (thanks for your work on this!!) the question has come up: What should we do if someone tries to install on a version of Windows older than we support? Do we forbid installation or allow it only after accepting a warning pop-up saying that there is no support and it may not work at all? I vote the latter because people may want to try Mixxx on old surplus hardware that can't run newer Windows versions, especially in poorer countries. (Of course the case can be made that they should run Linux instead, but I figure, why artificially limit people from trying?) Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

And on that note, the LP milestones and series have been updated. (The
milestones still have the code names as well as the real version numbers.)
Those of you that have bugs or blueprints assigned to you may want to
verify that the correct milestone is applied. That is, anything that you
know has already been merged into 2.0 ("1.12") should have a milestone
of 2.0.0. Anything that has been merged to master (missed the 2.0/1.12
freeze) should have a milestone of 2.1.0.

[Mixxx-devel] Mixxx releases moving forward
Hello everyone. Due to the sheer number and magnitude of new user-visible features in the next Mixxx release, months ago RJ, Owen and I decided that this release will officially be Mixxx v2.0. 1.12 was just a code name. :D We feel it's better than 1.11 in every way and contains such long-awaited and much-requested features (four decks, effects and resize-able skins most notably,) and so much work from you all to make it happen that this version bump is well-deserved. We hope you agree. There are a few tasks remaining that _must_ be completed before we can release: * User manual updates - text and screen shots, proofreading https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual/issues * String translations http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/internationalization * Manual translations https://www.transifex.com/organization/mixxx-dj-software/dashboard/mixxxdj-manual * Controller preset/mapping updates - we prefer you submit Pull Requests but we'll check the forums for updates too http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/hardware_compatibility * Testing - especially any issues with file tags in the library and live streaming/broadcasting We will be releasing a Release Candidate (RC) in the next week or two against which you should test. So we can get this release done as soon as possible, please choose a task above you have time and desire to help with. We also want to outline our release policy moving forward. To ensure timely future releases, at the time a new version is released, a branch for the next release will be created, containing whatever complete features that exist in Master/Trunk at that time. An alpha release of that branch will then follow shortly. This will allow us to release much more quickly (on the order of months,) getting new features into users' hands much sooner. This will also avoid feature-creep since we developers can rest in knowing that our almost-ready feature that missed this version will be released in just a few short months. Thank you again for your continued interest in Mixxx and all of the time and talent you've given and continue to give to the project. DJs literally all across the world are extremely grateful! The Mixxx leadership also sincerely wish you and your families a very happy Holiday season. Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.

I expect we'll need to keep the existing one around as long as 1.12 is supported so as not to change anything about the build environment during the support cycle. My preference would be to move to the new build server now, do a Release Candidate to verify nothing broke as a result of the build env change, then release from there so we can retire the old build server sooner. The only limitations are my availability to finalize the build envs and what to do about the OSX VM.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] port windows installer to Wix
Hello. Thanks for working on this! It's something I've wanted to see for awhile myself. Owen has access to the build server so can answer your question #1. On 09/01/2015 02:05 PM, Sébastien Blaisot wrote: 2. When we will have Wix installed on the build server, is it acceptable to add the Wix installation directory to the %PATH% of the build server and rely on it ? I didn't find a way to automatically determine where this folder is located like we actually do in scons for NSIS. Can you not check the registry? Isn't that what we do for NSIS? I'd much prefer not to have to rely on any system environment setting to make it easier for others who want to set up a build environment. 3. Installation of 64bits package on 32bits machines is of course forbidden. I'm not sure if we need to permit 32bits mixxx installation on 64bits computer. Is anyone aware of such a use-case ? I can't think of a use case (other than mass deployment to a mix of 32 and 64-bit PCs,) but there is typically no restriction to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit OS. We could however pop up a message saying that a full 64-bit version is available and that they should go get that instead, but allow them to proceed if they choose. 4. Can we get rid of windows XP Support ? No. There are too many people still using Windows XP (on old hardware and in developing countries.) 5. actual installer creates empty directories "promo" and "sqldrivers". Are they still required or just oldies that we can forget ? Sqldrivers was needed when we didn't build SQLite support into the qtsql.dll. For the forseeable future it's not needed since we plan to continue doing that. Promo would contain promotional tracks that labels/artists have paid Mixxx to include with the installation, or tracks we otherwise want to include. We haven't done this in years but would like to keep the ability should we do so in the future. The folder should not be created if there's nothing to put in it though. Sincerely, Sean M.
