Description

While some may not consider DJing an art, the Electronic Dance Music industry moves millions of dollars a year and involves cutting edge hardware and software. Most of these tools are proprietary for a good reason, but as new generations of hardware and software get released, maintenance and support of old equipment are always a matter of discussion. Here is where open source could help increase the longevity of old hardware while keeping the new one fresh and attractive in both terms of experience and features. In this talk I'll brief the audience on the requirements of compatibility and the procedure for completing a mapping in Mixxx, the most popular open source DJing app.
