As for what Sean said about effects needing a skin makeover -- I don't think we can afford to wait for the mythical skin 2.0 before implementing effects. RJ told me that we should be able to do tabbed interfaces with our current engine. For Effects 1.0 it should be enough to turn the Library section of mixxx into a tabbed interface with tabs for Library and Effects (and eventually Preferences if someone wants to tackle that please!). That's the UI we want anyway and we can do it now. Also for 1.0, we will be working on a flexible backend for effects but we'll just be including a static collection of simple effects that people would expect to find: flange, reverb, delay / echo, highpass/lowpass knob, maybe a bitcrusher or other distort. Based on my experience watching dozens of big-name DJs play out, 90% of the time they only ever use the Pioneer Mixer's high/low knob :). If we wait for full VST / LV2 / LADSPA with a chain editor it's going to be forever. We need to at least throw a bone out to our users to prove that effects are going to happen. To help the ball start rolling, I'm going to pull the effects branch and engine_control-refactor over to github for easy branching/merging. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
