Here are some tips to help you do that. Linux * Disable CPU Frequency Scaling or use the 'Performance' mode. CPU Frequency Scaling is a main cause of Mixxx skipping on laptops. (Do ps aux | grep cpufreq and kill any processes you find.) -- Actually it is better to remove the kernel modules, do `lsmod | grep freq` and then rem… text/html 2010-08-15T13:44:38-04:00 RJ Ryan http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_linux?rev=1281894278&do=diff Compiling Mixxx is fairly straightforward on Linux. The steps below outline what a user needs to do in order to compile Mixxx for themselves, if for instance, they wanted to try the latest changes in our code repository (BZR). 1. Install build dependencies Mixxx relies on several external libraries for various features. If your distribution is Debian based (such as Ubuntu), you can install them by running: text/html 2010-08-11T03:11:15-04:00 Bill Good http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/performance_improvements?rev=1281510675&do=diff Here we enumerate all of the areas where Mixxx can be optimized, roughly in order of importance. The more things we can complete on this list, the more machines Mixxx can run on, and the larger our user base. Thread scheduling The most important thread is the audio callback thread. If this misses its deadline (the latency period,) pops and clicks can be heard in the output. As a result, it needs real-time priority, preferably with a hard deadline matching the latency period. (And we need to m… text/html 2010-08-09T16:33:33-04:00 jus http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/skin_guidelines?rev=1281386013&do=diff This page will eventually contain useful guidelines to consider when creating skins. In the meantime, it's just a brainstorming session on the topic. Resolution Mixxx should eventually handle skins of different sizes/resolutions in an elegant way, but in the meantime skin authors need to take the resolution of their skin seriously. Most DJs will be using Mixxx on a laptop, which means it'll likely have a widescreen display (with a limited vertical resolution). text/html 2010-08-09T09:52:07-04:00 Lena Wiseman http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/start?rev=1281361927&do=diff Mixxx has an unusually broad community for an open-source project, encompassing performing musicians, C++ addicts, amateur DJs and even just casual users. The Mixxx Wiki contains useful information for users, developers, and artists, and is summarized in the categories below. text/html 2010-07-27T03:33:12-04:00 Sean M.

Mixxx's current method of achieving this involves diverting one deck to the main output, and the other to the headphone output, allowing the two to be mixed externally. However, no features, such as the equalizer, can be disabled. Benefits of disabling various features include increased CPU time for other threads, and UI…
