Thanks for the taking the plunge and giving an honest review. I have been following the progress of Mixxx via their RSS feed and I think its a project with a lot of promise. It might not be there yet but give it some more time and I think it will definitely be worth a second glance. Utilizing *nux as a platform gives Mixxx some core advantages that I think most "digital" DJs will find extremely attractive. Stability is the first that comes to mind, anyone who has had a software meltdown mid-set can certainly attest to this. Latency seems to be on the tip of most critic's tongue's when talking software based mixing, a lean and optimized OS will go far in eliminating and tracking down this shortcoming. Lastly, it will force all the software vendors to get better (and cheaper, we can hope) in the long run. I have been using Serato Scratch Live for a little over a year now and while it's a great piece of software I definitely would like to see more competition. Hopefully in a year or two Mixxx will mature enough to become a real alternative and challenge the mixing software plutocrats.
