Linux mixing software
View this Thread in Original format

Hija,

On Windows everyone knows software like Traktor, Mixvibes, AtomixMP3, VirtualDJ and alike. Some love them, others hate them, but that's not the issue here.

Since some months I'm a full time Linux user, and last week I got interested in DJ'ing again. I can't find any nice mixing software though :( (sold my "real" setup years ago, I'd like to start now with software mixing, maybe I'll buy a new setup later on then).

I got a dualboot setup, but hardly use my Windows installation. My music files (yes, most of them ripped from my CD and vinyl collection) are on an LVM2 XFS logical volume, so I cannot access the files from withing Windows (I don't trust FAT, and can't write to NTFS from Linux properly).

Has someone got any experience with Linux mixing software? I've been looking around a little, but couldn't find any "decent" program yet :mad:

Thanks for any hints!

There is a collection of links to DJ-related software at http://sound.condorow.net/ddj.html The most promising package seems to be BpmDj (http://bpmdj.sourceforge.net/) Also, FinalScratch used to be Linux-only on the PC (although it seems to be Windows-only now), so you might be able to track down and use an older version of the software.

I'm guessing you could put wine on linux and install traktor?

because Tracktor already suck on windows, it would suck more on wine...
