Gsoc2010 Dvs Mode

Adding a digital vinyl system (DVS) / external mixer mode to Mixxx (GSoC 2010 project)

• 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. However, no features, such as the equalizer, can be disabled. Benefits of disabling various features include increased CPU time for other threads, and UI recognition of unwanted features.

Current status

Digging through the mixxx code base to try to further figure out implementation details, plus learning a bit about how sampling (digital represenation of analog signals works and skimming a book on Qt.
