Announcing Mixxx 2.0!


The wait is finally over. After years of hard work, the Mixxx development team is pleased to present Mixxx 2.0!

Mixxx 2.0 - LateNight Skin

Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.


Mixxx 2.0 is the culmination of over a decade of work by hundreds of DJs, artists, and software engineers. We hope you enjoy it! If you tried our betas then you already know what you're in for. If not, check out this quick tour of the new features in Mixxx 2.0.

A Sneak Peak at Mixxx 2.1


In order to prevent a repeat of the long delay between the 1.11 and 2.0 releases, we are making changes to allow us to release new versions more rapidly. As part of those changes, we will soon cut the release branch for Mixxx 2.1 to get the ball rolling on our next release targeted for Q1 2016.

Our focus for this iteration will be an already-completed rewrite of our Audio File Decoders and improved Controller Support.

Surprise! Release Candidate 1

Hi Mixxx-heads,

Are you ready for a surprise?

The Mixxx 1.12 beta period has been going quite smoothly and we're almost ready to launch this baby. This release packs a punch. It's our single biggest release ever and adds more headline features than we've ever put in one release. We decided that it was time -- time to drop the "1.1" (it's cleaner):

Mixxx 1.12.0 will be... Mixxx 2.0!

We've been working towards this release for many years now. But we still need your help to make this our best ever.

We need your help translating and testing.

Today we're releasing Mixxx 2.0 Release Candidate 1. If all goes according to plan, we're going to get some more testing in from the community and have Mixxx 2.0 ready for all of your New Year's Eve parties!


Please help us out!


Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.


Help Translate Mixxx
In order to make this release rock in every language we need your help with translations! This is the first release we are offering translations of the Mixxx manual in addition to the app itself. We are currently in dire need of translations for Spanish, Chinese and Japanese (among many other languages).
Check out our Transifex page and internationalization wiki for details on how to get started.

Call for Controller Presets
Support for MIDI/HID controllers is historically one of Mixxx's biggest weak points. If you have built a controller preset for a device, please consider submitting it for inclusion in Mixxx as a community-maintained preset! Check out the guide on our wiki for more details.
