Mixxx 1.12 Beta Released!

Hi Mixxxers -- did you miss us? The Mixxx team has been quietly toiling for over 2 years to bring you Mixxx 1.12. This will be our biggest release ever and we need your help to make sure that it's our best ever as well. We've been doing alpha testing with our dedicated forum users for a while now and are ready to release Mixxx 1.12 Beta!


Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

There are too many new features and fixes to list all of them, but here's just some of the new things Mixxx can do:
  • 4 Decks with Master Sync
  • New Effects Framework with 4 Effect Units and 5 Built-in Effects:
    • Flanger
    • Bit Crusher
    • Reverb
    • Echo
    • Filter
    • More to come!
  • Configurable, Resizeable User Interface with 3 Brand New Skins
  • Cover Art Display
  • Music Key Detection and Shifting
  • Vinyl Audio Pass-Through
  • 4 Microphone inputs and 4 Auxiliary inputs
  • MIDI Mapping GUI and Improved Learning Wizard
  • RGB Musical Waveforms
  • Hundreds of Bug Fixes and Improvements
  • New Pitch-Independent Algorithm for Better-Sounding Key-lock.
If you tried the Alpha release, be sure to check out the Beta.  There are a ton of new features and fixes even since then.  And we'll be updating the Beta every week, so you can always have the latest updates.
