[Mixxx-devel] resumed work on new vinyl control

2010-08-24 Thread Owen Williams
At long last, I got off my butt and updated my features_xwax branch to merge nicely with later versions of trunk. It should now be as functional as it was back in may, and I've even fixed some of the UI bugs that were in there. For those who aren't familiar with my branch, you can find it at http

Good work, Owen. Since I do not know what additional features you are going to add in your branch, here are some ideas. Currently, if you double click on a track item in library (vinyl control enabled), Mixxx loads the track always into deck 1. This is should be fixed somehow. Another cool ide

Hi Owen, Awesome stuff! I'm looking forward to reviewing this code later, and I'm pleased that you rewrote the vinyl control code. Our roadmap still has your vinyl control code targeted for Mixxx 1.10, so now's a great time for people to be testing this. (Shoutcast and hydra are targeted for 1.9,

Yeah, some screencasts might help. I don't have my decks anymore so I have to emulate vinyl control. Sean: if you're scratching with MIDI, you've either got jog wheels or an SCS.3D. The SCS has the platter position light, and you can just mark your jog wheel. You're never going to be DJ Q-Bert wit

I just did a little mix session with stretching off, and it was definitely distracting having the beats not line up. So I reverted the changes back to stretching mode. At this point I think the vinyl control is "done enough" for me to propose it for merging. Any changes I make now are going to b
