Mixxx Using External Drive
External Drive Staples
I use my own personal laptop for Mixxx, so it has my personal music library on it. Much of which isn't what I DJ with, and all my music is in one place so all my music end sup in the library, even though I don't need it all. I've gotten around this annoyance by creating crates, but that doesn't stop mixxx from loading a larger library than needed.External Drive Uses
I'm wondering if anyone has kept music on an external hard drive and pointed the mixxx library to the drive? Does it work ok? How does it perform? I'm just curious before I purchase an external drive for (mainly) this purpose.External Drive Usb
Dj algoriddim spotify. Yes. There are two ways to do it depending on what you want to achieve:
- Direct deck outputs: Direct deck outputs is a feature of Mixxx 1.9.0 onwards. Set the outputs in Options→Preferences→Sound Hardware and you're done. If you are on 1.8.x or below, the trick is to force Mixxx's master output to play back the left/top track, and the headphone output to playback the right/bottom track. (Each track will come out a separate output, suitable for plugging right into an external DJ mixer.) The way one does this is by sliding Mixxx's crossfader all the way to the left, and turning on the headphone cue for the right channel. This forces the first track to play out the master out, and the second track to play out the headphone out. (Since both outputs are now going straight into an external mixer, you'd use the headphone cue on the mixer as well as it's crossfader.) Using an external mixer is also described briefly in the Threadbox tutorial.
- Software mixing as an additional sound source: If you want to mix on-screen but need to integrate with an external mixer (such as when playing CDs and/or records as well, or in a radio studio) you can plug the headphone output into one channel of the mixer, and the main output into another. Then bring the channel fader of the headphone one all the way down on the mixer and set it to play in your headphones all the time (thereby adding Mixxx's headphone bus to the mixer's.) Then use the other fader (with Mixxx's main output) when you want to bring Mixxx's output into/out of the main mix.

Nov 26, 2011 So I have my music directory on an external drive, and Mixxx points to that and everything is fine. However, the actual library file is still stored locally. Therefore all my bpm, cue, playlists, etc are all tied to that one local file. Now, the laptop I use has two partitions on it, one for Windows, and Ubuntu Linux on the other.
