Re: [Mixxx-devel] most wanted mappings
The Tweaker mapping is not ready yet. I will finish it before 1.12 though.

There is mapping for some of them in the forum. Doing a simple search with mixxx + brand name + model name gives forum entries with mappings attached. We should probably take them out of forum and include in mixxx For example : Electrix Tweaker http://mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7189 Behringer CMD MM-1 http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6201 sb -- ___ Get Mixxx, the #1 Free MP3 DJ Mixing software Today http://mixxx.org Mixxx-devel mailing list Mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel

Re: [Mixxx-devel] mapping file name conventions
That looks good and would be easy to use with tab completion in a shell.

[Mixxx-devel] NSIS setup help
Hi all, I'm trying to update my windows build env with NSIS to build packages (in order to test my fix for lp:1457618 before making a PR). I've read NSIS wiki page, but it's a bit outdated http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/build_windows_installer I have some questions : * Do I need NSIS v2.46 or NSIS v3.0b1 ? * Are there any plugin/complement I need to install to be able to build mixxx installer ? * Where do I find needed vcredist (what version), and where do I need to have it saved ? help will be greatly appreciated as I'm actually going around in circles Thanks, sb -- ___ Get Mixxx, the #1 Free MP3 DJ Mixing software Today http://mixxx.org Mixxx-devel mailing list Mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel

Re: [Mixxx-devel] most wanted mappings
Yes, there should be a goal to achieve here. There could be more than one. My intention in making the above list was thinking about what controllers we could recommend to people who have never DJed, which seems to be a large portion of people trying Mixxx. To this end, it would be great to have a mapping for every controller on the list of ones we don't have mappings for that costs $300 or less. We could try reaching out to manufacturers for donations. How has this gone before? I have been thinking of reaching out to Electrix about making a Mixxx certified mapping for the Tweaker. Pegasus, how did your interactions with them go regarding the Ebox44 (and why did they discontinue such an awesome little device?) It would also be great to get a Linux driver written for the Numark DJ iO, the cheapest 4 output sound card I can find. Apparently the DJ iO 2 is class compliant.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] most wanted mappings
Hello, There should be some outcome for this. Mappings are very important for getting people to use Mixxx. There also should be some option in start wizard for easily assign your device. Can we have Quiz about this in Mixxx blog when 1.12 is released where this is asked (What mapping do you miss most)?
