Hello Mixxx development team!
I'm Guang Rong, a computer engineering student from the National University
of Singapore. I was browsing through the GSoC's list of participating
organizations and had chanced upon Mixxx's entry. Being a Traktor user
myself for 2yrs, I was intrigued with an opensource DJ software (my
apologies for not noticing Mixxx till now) and thought that Mixxx
development would be an interesting direction to work upon.
Anyway, I have downloaded and played with Mixxx for the 2 days now and just
managed to compile the source code. I must say that Mixxx is a pretty neat
software; it has a clean interface and advanced features like multiple
hotcues and samplers. Right now I'm exploring and playing around with the
source code (maybe try implementing a feature tagged in the 'easy' wishlist
myself). Initially I've thought about working on Point-and-click controller
mapping as my experience with mapping my controller using the wizard wasn't
really smooth-sailing. However, I saw that Akash has made an elaborate post
on that subject and felt that it would be more beneficial for him to
undertake that project.
The other project that interests me is the preview player. It was an
important feature in Traktor for me, since I mix with 2 decks and the
preview player has enabled me to retain the next track in the 2nd deck
while giving me the ability to preview and choose tracks further down the
set. Given the opportunity, I would love to work on this. Since the preview
player would be an element in the UI, is it necessary to have good
understanding of the Qt framework?
Thank you for reading,
Guang Rong
