I've been using this to make mix tapes at home (bought a vintage tape player). It has awesome cross fading capabilities, and it does volume normalization out of the box, so it's a very nice piece of software for those features alone. Playlist and library management is also solid. My only complaint is that the UI isn't very intuitive for a non-DJ, and it took me some time to figure out how to do basic stuff, but it's all there in the docs, so you can certainly figure it out.


I've been setting up a few radio stations with playlists for azuracast for home use. The auto DJ with auto cue is amazing. Next stop is create a radio with a raspberry pi maybe with an amp hat as well.


How does the auto DJ compare to something like Pacemaker?


Are you referring to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacemaker

I haven't tried that myself, but used the AutoDJ feature of Mixxx a couple of times. It's fairly basic, you have a playlist, setup how you want it to fade, and how fast, hit Play and off it goes matching the beatgrids and whatnot.


Yes, but they pivoted to a music app about 10 years ago. It worked great 99% of the time and had decent transitions. But they received bad advice from a music startup incubator and ended up getting acquihired about two years ago.
