The main issues with Mixxx in my eyes are usability related (less colourful features or many good ones still on the wishlist) and software effects (filters) are not so good like in commercial opponents (but on big events you probably use the mixer for that). Therefore, you can map a controller's jog wheels as MIDI inputs for Mixxx, but I'm led to believe you would have an inferior experience compared to the controller's "native" software, e.g. However, I strongly suspect (I haven't really investigated) that jog wheels are implemented using part of the USB HID spec' they can be exposed as MIDI, but then you would have much worse granularity and/or latency. Superficially, a controller is a MIDI device. Serato.ĭon't underestimate how nice it is to have a dedicated input peripheral where the buttons are laid out (and labelled!) meaningfully for your software. If you have a physical controller, it will be designed for a specific software, e.g. If you're currently using your computer's embedded soundcard, presumably you are hijacking a single stereo out and splitting it into two mono channels, which is inferior. playlists or "crates").Ī controller (other than the very cheapest) will contain an embedded soundcard, this makes it trivial to have a stereo signal going out to your amplifier (master), and a separate stereo channel for your headphones (cue).
