But, this is software, and things do happen. In that event, the application must be able to recover gracefully from such an event.

In its current state it is not flexible enough to support desirable new features, and it also causes performance issues that can cause skipping in the audio. Redesigning the waveform view will both provide Mixxx with a more feature-full waveform view and hopefully alleviate these performance issues. text/html 2010-07-23T20:06:22-04:00 http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsoc2010_dvs_mode?rev=1279929982&do=diff * Student: Bill Good * Mentor: Adam Davison Abstract Adding an external mixer mode to Mixxx will greatly improve Mixxx's ability to act as a part of a digital vinyl system. 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.

It would be fun to have this recorded in time for a release as a promo track. So first, we must write lyrics! Add wherever you can, but try to match the number of syllables to the original line.
