Reuse of electronics is just as important as reuse of shopping bags!
This week I rescued 2 laptops from the ‘scrap’ pile at work, because they don’t officially support #Windows11
Both were repasted and thoroughly cleaned. One had Windows 11 and VirtualDJ installed for my friend, the other #openSUSE tumbleweed and #Mixxx for myself.
Last night they both completed a 5 hour DJ set without missing a beat, yet 4 days earlier discarded.
Welcome to Earth and our journey towards extinction.

Manchmal frage ich mich echt, ob die Entwickler von #MIXXX ihre Software selber auch benutzen, so viele Probleme das hier bei uns im Team regelmäßig hat...

Ja, die neueren Versionen sind besser.

Aber weit weg davon ordentlich zu funktionieren 😔

VirtualDJ in Wine läuft deutlich besser, aber damit funktionieren halt keine MIDI Controller -.-

Unhinged DJ setup:
#mixxx controlled by my DIY #faderController Doing some speed control fader rides to sync tracks.

Deck 1 and 2 into @noisio uMixa which has the kaoss pad in the aux/feedback chain.

Feels really nice to mix the tracks in hardware, the high gain of this small mixer sounds really good on the tracks. And the EQ is super useful. Tried to capture my first try and compressed it to hell so it’s not clogging the servers.

Might do an actual set with this lil rig. Tiny but mighty.

@mixal Would you recommend the Midi Fighter exactly for that: with a custom mapping for laid-back DJ mixing? (nothing too wild, really)

It's one of the devices I can probably get secondhand, and it seems to be built like a tank.

Do you use a mapping supplied by #mixxx, or do you use a custom mapping? And if so, did you find it straightforward to configure? All those encoders are nice, but if it's impossible to map, I would not go that route.

Thank you beforehand.
