Hi Mikael, Which version of Mixxx 1.8.x were you using? There were serious audio quality issues with 1.8.0, and sometime after that we reverted the patch that caused that. Have you tried the 1.9 beta? (or built from the 1.9 branch or trunk?)
If you're hacking on Mixxx I would suggest using 1.8 or trunk. Mixxx changed a ton from 1.7 to 1.8, and even from 1.8 to 1.9, so any patch you're writing won't be as easy to apply unless it is against 1.9 or trunk. (especially if it's related to the engine) Also, the library was totally re-written in 1.8, so if you have complaints about the library in 1.8 we'd love to hear them ;) otherwise save your breath -- we all know 1.7's library was a piece of trash =) Cheers, RJ Ryan On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 5:45 AM, Mikael Bouillot <csbhp...@corbac.com>wrote: > Thanks a lot, Owen and Albert for the pointers. > > I'll look into the playposition ControlObject and it might > very well get rid of my bugs, since it felt very much like a > race condition. > Then I'll have a look at the soundtouch interface, and if I > can get pitch control, it will be bliss for a while :-) > > On a more sensible note, I have a few issues with Mixxx as it > is: sound quality and user-input latency. > > I once read on the "features" page that Mixxx had "superior > sound quality".
