• Ask HN: Looking for a DJ Program

  Mixxx is excellent and has pretty wide hardware support. FYI the "limited" functionality of Rekordbox can be hardware unlocked with some Pioneer controllers. https://mixxx.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• How to create a playlist of tracks in Ableton Live Lite?

  There are quite a few DJs that use Ableton for DJing (or hybrid sets). Of course, Ableton wasn't made with DJing as its main function in mind but you totally can use it for that purpose and (with some tweaking) do everything and more that would be possible in a dedicated DJing software (like Traktor or Rekordbox or Mixxx).

• Free software to try mixing?

  I’ve used Mixxx a little bit and have been surprised how capable it is. It’s an open source project and is free to download: https://mixxx.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• Is getting a DDJ SX as a beginner a good idea? Post includes offers

  Mixxx (you already mentioned this; it's certainly a great piece of free software to test the DJ waters with and works with a lot of gear). Source: 11 months ago

• Turntable and controller setup

  Alternatively, you can also use Mixxx with the S4 MK2. Mixxx is free. But instead of a Traktor control vinyl record, you'd use Serato timecode instead, as stated in the docs. Source: 11 months ago

• Keeps freezing at 4.09% when rendering for Youtube

  If you have audio clips in a compressed format, such as MP3, we recommend converting them to a lossless format like WAV or FLAC using free audio editor software like Audacity. OpenShot prefers working with uncompressed audio during project editing. Similarly, if your video clips are in a format other than MP4, use free video converter software, such as Handbrake, to convert them to MP4 format, as OpenShot prefers... Source: 9 months ago

• Voice Over

  OpenShot does not have a record feature. You can use free audio editor software such as Audacity to record your voice-over audio and export the clip as an uncompressed audio file (I recommend FLAC). Import the audio clip into OpenShot and align the clips on the Timeline. Source: 11 months ago

• I downloaded audacity from github as that was what was linked on the ds modding wiki and I needed it for theme background music

  That's valid, but unless you have a reason to specifically want that old version you might wish to get the current version from its official source at https://audacityteam.org . Source: 12 months ago

• Question from a frustrated user.

  The only other thing I can think of to try is a completely clean install; not just uninstalling Audacity, but trashing any config, cache, and other files it may leave on your computer after uninstall. Only after you've zapped away any trace of Audacity from your system should you download it again from https://audacityteam.org and reinstall. Source: about 1 year ago

• Progressing through the late beginner stage?

  What changed my playing ( and my life ) was a digital multi-track recorder. I use a BOSS Micro BR, but a laptop equipped with Audacity ( https://audacityteam.org ) would work as well. I started working on multi-part pieces recording one line and then the next over it. I got better quickly, and it was fun. Source: over 1 year ago
