I’d be interested to hear about performance of mixxx from those running on linux netbooks (atom powered). How good is it? Are there any real problems? Thanks

I love mixxx i hope the mixxx team continues to offer such a great product to the dj community… I am currently running mixxx on a 1.6ghz atom processor eeepc901 i am looking into weather or not i can get the latency down to a respectable point utlizing external sound hardware, ubuntu 8.04 with real time and a total of 2-4 gig ddr2 533…. Any advice on the topic would be great….spacestationmax@gmail.com

@justin:

I’m running Mixxx with a 4 ms latency setting, without any problems. It’s on a rather high-end system, a MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz / 4 GB ram and an external firewire soundcard.

And I did a search on both the Mixxx wiki and forums and I can’t find any confirmation of your claim. Are you talking about the same software, or are you just trolling? On the forums I even found claims of people running Mixxx on Ubuntu (with the realtime kernel) achieving 2 ms latency without clipping.

i tried to use this with a macbook 2.0 with 4 gigs of ram and i couldnt even get it to play audio without clicks at 300ms latency. which, obviously , is unusuable. and i looked at the wiki and it seems noone can get below 200ms latency. is this true? am i reading this right? this program seems pretty much useless if that is true.

I wrote an in-depth review of Mixxx if anyone is interested.

Hi,

Just to answer a few questions.

Yes, our vinyl control support shares code with xwax (http://www.xwax.co.uk/), another GPL project whose development process we have been closely involved in. If you just want pure vinyl control and none of the other features Mixxx provides, give it a try.

A PPC version is indeed on the way. It takes us a little while longer to build this because none of the core development team owns a PPC Mac any more but it should be a matter of days rather than weeks.

Parent about MsPinky is correct, we don’t support that because no open source implementation of the timecode decoding is available as yet. They provide an SDK which requires you to use a binary blob.

Thanks for giving Mixxx a try everyone!

Adam
