  • Aye? I Know This Video Is A Bit Old; But EveryTime I Put This It Says No Such File Or Directory?

    Can I Please Get Some Help?

    I Got This Mixman TurnTable ;At A YardSale? &Well I Though It Would Be Cool Too Use It & Well? I Havent Found Drivers Or Found A CD For It For Windows;& It Hasnt Worked On Ubuntu?!

  • @pimper37 I would just suggest that you get ubuntu 11.04 and do a dual boot. This will also help improve the responsiveness of mixxx because an audio server (such as jack) can run at a low latency whereas windows uses an inherently high latency kernel that cannot be changed. If you need help doing a dual boot a good place to look would be the ubuntu website or a tutorial on youtube.

  • hay do you know were i can get the softwair windows 7 dm2 if you know the web site can you send me the link on youtube thanks pimper37

  • Trop moche ces platines !

    Désolé mais ce n'est pas très beau

  • hey iwe just started djing (tried one time) the result is on my chanel please check it out and tell me what i can do better!

  • since the driver is a .deb , I'm confused as to how use the tar command

  • @lukechalaudio I'm relieved to hear you think Linux is good! And I agree that getting a professional sound setup is easier on Mac (not on Win!). The real problem with Linux is missing manufacturer support, which must be counteracted with constant reverse engineering.

  • @lukechalaudio On Windows you've got to install always Driver CD's and ... On Linux instead, developers are making open source drivers so that devices work plug and play. However Linux is missing manufacturer support, which must be counteracted with constant reverse engineering, this is because of monopoly-reigned companies such as Microsoft... ;(.

  • @lukechalaudio

    CLIs haven't gone anywhere. They contain a lot of power, a lot more than GUIs. People get used to GUIs, they make us lazy. Do you think programmers have progressed beyond actual programming and now create programs by clicking on magic pixels?

    Linux is goot because it's good, and free as in freedom.

    Bravo for this video, Jake3867, and keep up the good work.

  • @lukechalaudio Holy shit...you are the biggest fucking idiot I have ever had the misfortune to hear. Please put your PC back in the box and ship it back to the manufacturer because you sir are too stupid to own a computer.

  • @lukechalaudio apparantly, last time you have used linux was in the 90s -_-. Do these for all of us:

    1)check out ubuntu

    2)try it

    3)??????

    4)stfu

  • @lukechalaudio what a wonderful and aknowledged person you are

  • Mixman DM2 is only a shit! I have one to but it's not working with win7.

  • @Caneroncel As I say in the (now a bit aged) video, the DM2 is junk hardware. Cheap and not very sophisticated. If you're looking for good equipment use a Hercules.

  • @Jake3867 Like my MK4?

  • So does this mean we don't have to patch later kernels?

  • @iwan0t0smith Sorry for the late answer: you're right, current kernels don't need a patch. The kernel driver has been tested up until 2.6.32 as of now. The mixxx XML config has been updated to match the current release.

  • mixxx rocks

  • I have been tryin to download the software but it doesnt work for me because of the tar.bz2 i guess is there a nother way for me to get it

  • Is there any way to hook the dm2 to a mac osx 10.5? Just bought it and trying to set it up with my mac....any hel;[p would be greatly be appreciated!

    Thank you

  • i was able to get latest from svn to work with 2.6.29.6-smp that comes with slackware. did you try svn? however it seems that the mapping file is now out of date and i'm having issues. the driver works though.

  • Remember to use the XML file that comes with the driver. Mixxx doesn't have it in the package, as far as I know. The other XML files don't play well with the incremental MIDI inputs that I put on the two platters, so scratching won't work.

  • so i am using linux kernal 2.6.31 (ubuntu 9.1) and i get some errors when making, because of the changes with the sound. is there a fix? or an update for the drivers?

  • Sorry for replying so late. Tried before, but YouTube didn't take it in... The driver is patched and working for 9.1, just not packaged into a .deb file. You need to check out the SVN version from SourceForge, and build from there.

  • could i plug this into the auxillary of my NS7 dj controller? and what is the output sound quality?

  • Hmm...how could I scratch? Would I have to edit the files?

  • will this work on ubuntu?

  • Yes, as far as I know. The Debian source package should work best, in conjunction with "module-assistant", which is a great tool to build additional kernel drivers from the source. The README in the dm2 source package tells you how.

  • Calm down, man. This is for people who want to have fun with their old DM2 and Linux! Obviously, that doesn't include you so don't act like anyone's insulting you; that's childish.

  • i do agree mate serato is the way forward but even serato has just been outdated with the new CDJ 2000

  • yes,cdj 2000 is good,but not great for me...just my 2c....well,ive been around quite a while with cdjs as well as turntables...i use serato so i can use my turntables...so in a way im still a turntablelist...no offense to cdjs coz i still use my cdj 1000mk3 for my third deck as a back up incase my laptop goes haywire...

  • suppose its a case of varied taste i just feel a laptop takes the dj element of things out visually not technically serato is probnerly the best thing since slice bread in the dj world ive only been mixing a couple of year so im not really to judge i can definitly see where your coming from though

  • when he puts his music on there its alot easyer on xp are windows its drag and drop he almost makes it look hard anybdy wanting to get into mixin this is it

  • Well, on the mixxx boards there were different opinions. Drag and drop is still an option, as far as I know; but this allows you to pick from the library without letting go of the platters. It's meant for those who don't have time to fiddle with the mouse.

  • god i got one of these about what 8 10 years ago used it for years put it up now cant find it but love the dm2 ppl that buy the dj hero and never try this is messing up

  • How You Plug The DM2 With Mac?? Its Fuckin Impossible

  • ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • have it

  • I downloaded the .deb file and installed under 64studio 3.0 beta 3 (based off debian/ubuntu)

    not quite detected ... now what?

    should i just compile it myself?

  • The mixxx software can be found in the software repository

  • Would this be difficult to configure into a livecd?

  • i hav this thing in my house nd i got givin it but i just not sure if we a disk cuz i dont hav it there. so can someone tell me if u need a disk plz. tnx

  • we have this in school and im the best on it

  • i lost my cd to my dm2 digital music mixer can you copy your cd and put it into a zip file for me and send it to my email. send me a message to get my email

  • Sorry, I misplaced my CD. Or I threw it out with a lot of other garbage sometime ago. Can't remember. And I don't miss it.

  • thank you

  • Awesome video

  • can you mix like your own songs or your own instrumentals somebody reply and hook it up with some info and advice

  • For recording and mixing (not: DJing) in Linux I recommend Jack + Ardour. Search the web for howto's galore.

  • i wanted to buy a mixman but the software doesnt say anything about vista .. so what do u have to do for it to work with vista ?

  • For all those Vista guys, I'll repeat this one more time: I don't know or support Vista. I'd love to be more helpful, but it's better this way, believe me. At least, for me.

  • i was just watching the video after recieving my mixman and was wondering if anyone had made a similar patch for xp, i also wondered if there was any way to see the midi scripting information for mixx so i can try and configure the dm2 to work with mixx so far i have only managed to make it do tempo changes and start stops, many thanks Max

  • very informative.

  • i got this mixer never used it, brought it when it was $120

  • questiosn!!! is compatible on VIRTUALDJ PROGRAM??????

  • I can't even describe to you how amazing you are. I've had mine for at least five years and didn't think I had a use for it but now I do. Thank you :D

  • good linux is cool

  • Thanks för the nice comments, rkdr009 and all the others who +1ed! I really appreciate your feedback! I've taken a longer break now from Mixxx development, but I hope to be back in soon.

  • ive had this for years but never got it 2 work

  • Brilliant! I hope to make this work on my Mac. My demo of Ableton ran out. I found Mixx, which I'm learning. I saw in the preferences that the dm2 is a mapped interface and found the drivers. I have a few buttons that came up configured, just a matter of time to get to full control! I agree that the dm2 is cheesy and cheaply made, but for a compact setup in my tiny apartment, this is gonna rock! Thanks a million for this post; it's inspired me.

  • did you get the dm2 and mixxx to work right on your mac? Would love to know how..

  • It is nice to see people contributing! Good stuff man!

  • good work :-)

  • Hello, I am on Linux for 4 months now and I just got Mixxx to run smooth on my system. I saw this video and I would like to download the correct driver. You have two listed on your website link. Which one should I use, the .deb file or the tar.gz file? Do I need both? Please advise.

  • nice work

  • so it wont work on vista? =(

  • Mixxx runs on windows, with the dm2 though? I dunno

  • This driver is Linux only. But a Windows driver by the name of DM2MIDI has been around for quite a while, and Mixxx ships with a configuration file for that driver, so you should be fine.

  • I am tring to do this with windows. I have Mixxx and dm2midi and midi yoke set. Where is that config file located?

  • so this mixman dm2 wont work as a controller or software on vista or can you use it some how

  • No way, sorry. See my above comment and get DM2MIDI, which should work alright. There's a Mac driver, though, which mimics the features of my driver...

  • so basicly what do i do...

  • No, so far I've found no way to use DM2 controller with Vista. Finally managed to completely roll back my laptop to XP for exactly that sort of thing.

  • yo man. what do you mean "roll back"? did you dual boot or just strike Vista all together? i'm trying to do the same thing.

  • No, I initially did a dual boot, but decided I just didn't want to mess with Vista so I wiped it entirely. However, from what I understand, if you do want to dual boot them you have to wipe the hard drive clean, reformat it, then install XP FIRST. They say it won't work otherwise. Good luck.

  • yep, exactly.

  • Its possible to tel me a place to by the midi controler?

    Many tanks in advance.

  • I want to know if you can help with this ,.,. i bought this controller on some kind of garage sale ,but it,do not come with the original software ,.. so i can,t use it,. can u help me with this

  • I never saw the thing, but it's good to see someone working hard on open source and linux.

    Congratulations and thank you in the name of all GNU/Linux users!

  • I don't like to use My Mixman it sucks forealz

  • vista driver pls. ok pls bro I need it here dawwggg

  • God, what ever happened to your keyboard? I can hardly read this stuff. ;-) Okay, maybe I'm just getting old...

    I'm really, really sorry for all you Vista guys, but I'm not going to program a single line of code for that system. It's not so much a political thing, let's rather say that I am a much happier person using software that works.

  • looks pretty cool, might have to have a look into this. great work

  • dude windows VIsta help please

  • Guys, you finally did that! I just took my dm2 from shelve where it was lying for about year when i gave up using windows as second boot option. cheers!

  • if I buy mixman,will they give me orjinal mixman's proggrame?

  • Can't think of a reason they shouldn't... There was a CD in my box, I remember vaguely. I installed it once to see if the DM2 was okay, but I really didn't like the stuff, so now my CD is gathering dust.

  • thanks jake,ı really want to buy it.how much is it?(mixman dm2)

  • Try googling for prices. In the US, there are only very few on stock at retailers, with prices up to 75$. If I were you, I'd try to get a used one on eBay.

  • If you buy it used, the installer CD isn't too hard to find through some Googling.

  • but google's installer cd is demo version

  • Where can I download the driver in this video? The website on the video does not contain (or at least I cannot find) the download.

  • Wow. Brilliantly explained sir! Thank you very much.

  • that's brilliant

  • Nice work Jan :)

  • Looks awesome, great work Jan!
