How To Split Tracks In Mixxx
After choosing 'Split Stereo to Mono' from the Track Dropdown Menu on the original stereo track we get two separate mono tracks: Note that in this case both mono chanels are center-panned - different to the hard left and right panning that you get when you make a simple split of a stereo track. If you have more than 100 songs in a playlist, you can split it to two playlists or more. Step 2 Select output format Mixxx supports various music formats including MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A and WAV. To make sure the output Spotify songs compatible with your Mixxx DJ software, please select one universal format such as MP3.
hello everyone!
i excitedly downloaded mixxx because i might purchase an m-audio x-session soon to start dj'ing. but i'm having two issues that prevent me from actually using mixxx correctly: my tracks stutter like crazy and mixxx doesn't pick up my sound card separately, even if my soundcard administrator did it so.i have an integrated realtek HD 5.1 soundcard, which works wonders with other software, like atomixmp3. realtek administrator software lets me 'split' my soundcard audio outputs in two, meaning that my rear port has the speakers and the face port has my headphones. this works in atomixmp3, but not in mixxx. i can't separate both channels. here's a screenshot:

i've tried switching channels, sound API, whatever. i still hear both channels thru the speakers. even if i press the headphone monitor button. has anyone a solution for this issue?
my other problem is that the playback stutters like crazy. i played around with the latency settings but this doesn't fix the issue. my computer is relatively new; here are some specs:
Intel pentium dual cpu
e2200 @ 2.20ghz
2.20ghz, 2gb of RAM
running winXP sp3
i need help asap! i really want to get mixxx working before january!

When it comes to free, open source mixing software, most musicians and DJs automatically think of Audacity, but there are some alternatives that are definitely worth checking out if you are a budding music producer.
One tool that gives Audacity a run for its money (if that phrase is applicable for open source software) is Mixxx. This flexible tool for budding DJs allows you to easily select two tracks and cross-fade between them, whilst recording the mix output in real-time. Our guide shows you exactly how.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
Access the related download link for this article and grab the Windows installer file for Mixxx. The program is also available for OS X and Linux on the developer's homepage. Follow the normal installation procedure for your operating system to install Mixxx, once you have acquired the relevant application archive.
Launch Mixxx using the desktop shortcut that was added during installation. If you have never launched the application before, a prompt appears asking if you want to scan your music libraries for files that can be imported. Click Yes to continue with this operation, which may take a few minutes depending on how much music is stored on your computer.

Once the Mixxx music library has been updated, a list of all the available audio files you can work with is displayed. Double-click a file to preview it, or right-click a file and select 'Load in Player 1' to load it in the left hand player in Mixxx.
Select another track to mix it with by right-clicking a file in the library and selecting 'Load in Player 2'.

Click Play in either Player 1 or Player 2 to start playing the track cued in that player. Use the Volume slider and Graphic Equalizer controls for either player to modify the sound of each track until you achieve the correct balance.
When you are ready to start mixing, click Options on the menu bar and select Record Mix. Select a location and filename for the output file and click OK to begin. Mixx will not start recording until some music begins, so start one or both players to begin the recording.

The Crossfade control is the main slider in the centre of the interface, situated between the two players. Whilst both tracks are playing, you can adjust the balance of each by moving the crossfader to the left or right. The further the crossfader is to one side, the more predominant the volume of the track in that player will be.
Click Options and Stop Recording once you have finished mixing.
Tips & Advice
- Just like a real turntable device, Mixx supports 'Headphone Cueing', a technique used by DJs to preview the next track they want to play in their headphones before pumping it out into the live mix. This also allows you to beatmatch the current song with the next one. To route the audio from either player to the headphones, click the HEADPHONE button on either the left or the right hand side of the Mixx interface. Click the button again to disable routing to the headphones.
