Mixxx

Barcelona-based DJ and Audio Engineer Marc Monka has released the XDJ100SX, a brilliant DIY project that guts an old CDJ-100S and resurrects it as a fully standalone, modern DJ deck. The best part? It runs entirely on open-source software.

If you have ever tried to learn a new skill on a budget, you know that the start up cost is often the biggest hurdle. In the world of DJing, that usually means three things: the software, the hardware, and the music.

If you’re a fan of the open-source DJ software Mixxx, you know one of its greatest strengths is its ability to work with a huge range of hardware. The problem is finding one that is mapped straight out the box - so I built a visual controller explorer.
