The Mixxx mapping is mostly the same as the standard Serato mapping, with a few exceptions which are highlighted below with underlined text or strikethrough where a specific functionality that exists in Serato is not (yet) implemented in the Mixxx mapping.
CASE 2: How to remove 'microphone howling/robot/echo sound' 1. Use a headset instead of speakers If you use speakers, the sound goes from speakers to microphone and creates the howling sound. To reduce the howling/robot/echo sound, you have to use a headset instead of speakers.
1. Channel Level: Adjust the level of the pre-fader, pre-EQ audio signal
- Mar 14, 2013 Hey Guys Luke here and today i am showing you a way that always works to get rid of static on your microphone:) hope you enjoy and remember to leave a like and subscribe for more videos, then.
- In Mixxx - Preferences - Sound Hardware, click the input button and select the microphone you want to add - You can enter up to 4 microphones which are controllable from the Mixxx dashboard. Enter Your Radio Station's Details. Mixxx works seamlessly with Radio.co, just enter your radio's information to hook it up.
2. Channel EQ: Boost or cut the high, mid-range, and low frequencies
3. Channel Filter: Turn counterclockwise to apply a low-pass filter. Turn clockwise to apply a high-pass filter.
4. Channel Cue: Send the channel’s pre-fader signal to the headphones’ cue channel.
5. Channel Fader: Adjust the channel’s volume level.
6. Crossfader: Mix between the two decks.
7. Shift: Press and hold this button to access secondary functions of other controls.
8. Sync / Sync Off: Automatically match the corresponding Deck’s tempo with the opposite Deck’s tempo and phase. Unlike Serato, Shift + sync is not mapped to anything.
9. Cue / Track Start: Behavior changes according to the cue mode selected in Mixxx's preferences.
Hold Shift and press this button to return to the start of the track.
10. Play/Pause / Stutter: Play/pause playback. Hold Shift and press to “stutter-play” the track from the cue point.
11. Hot Cues: Press a pad to set or jump to a hot cue point. To set a hot cue point, press an unlit pad at the desired location in the track (the pad will then be lit). To jump to that hot cue point, press the lit pad. To delete a hot cue point, hold Shift and press a lit pad.
12. Pad Mode:Currently unmapped

13. Platter: This capacitive, touch-sensitive platter controls the audio playhead when the wheel is touched and moved. When the Vinyl button is on, move the platter to “scratch” the track like a vinyl record. When the Vinyl button is off (or if you are touching only the side of the platter), move the platter to temporarily adjust the track’s speed.
14. Vinyl / Censor: Toggle “vinyl mode” for the platter. When activated, you can use the platter to scratch the track as you would with a vinyl record.
Hold Shift and this button to activate the Censor feature: the playback of the track will be reversed, but when you release the button, normal playback will resume from where it would have been if you had never engaged the Censor feature (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).
15. Key Lock / Range: Toggle Key Lock. When Key Lock is activated, the track’s key will remain the same even if you adjust its speed. Hold Shift and press to cycle through the available ranges of the pitch fader (+/- 8%, 16%, 50%). Other ranges for the fader can be selected in Mixxx's Preferences in the Interface section, but pressing this button with Shift will only cycle through 8%, 16%, and 50%.
16. Pitch Bend -/+ : Hold one of these buttons to momentarily reduce or increase (respectively) the speed of the track.
Hold Shift and then press and hold one of these buttons to rewind or fast-forward (respectively) through the track.
17. Pitch Fader: Move this fader to adjust the speed (pitch) of the track. You can adjust its total range with the Key Lock / Range button.
18. FX Level: Turn the knobs on the left side of the controller to adjust the effect intensity (i.e. “meta” parameter) for the effects in EffectUnit1. Turn the knobs on the right side of the controller to adjust the meta parameter for the effect in EffectUnit2. The FX On button under the knob must be lit for the effect to be enabled.
19. FX Beats: Currently changes the wet/dry ratio of the effect chain. This will probably change in the future.
20. FX On / Select: Press to toggle the corresponding effect on or off. Hold Shift and press to assign a different effect to this slot.
21. FX Tap:Tap this button repeatedly at the desired tempo to set the rate of the effects’ lowfrequency oscillators (LFOs). Press and hold this button to reset Beat Multiplier to theDeck’s BPM. (currently not functional)
22. Auto-Loop / Auto 4: Toggle a 4 beat loop on or off. Hold Shift and press to toggle beat quantize on or off (I.e quantization of loop start / end points to the nearest beat). Note: this behavior is different from Serato.
23. X 1/2 Loop / Loop In: Halve the length of the current loop.
Hold Shift and press to create a Loop In point at the current location.
24. X 2 Loop / Loop Out: Double the length of the current loop.
Hold Shift and press to create a Loop Out point at the current location.
25. Reloop: Exit the current loop if a loop is active, or skip to the last-played loop and activate it immediately if there is no loop active.
26. Browse / Library Knob: Turn to browse through the items in the currently focused pane (i.e. library or sidebar). Press shift and turn to scroll quickly through the items in the currently focused pane. Press the knob to select the current item.
27. Load: Load the currently selected track to the deck.
28. Back / Panel: Change the currently focused pane (i.e. library or sidebar) to the next or previous pane.
29. Load Prep / Open Prep: Load the currently selected track to the preview deck.
Hold Shift and press to eject the current track from the preview deck. (Different from Serato mapping).
30. Sampler Pads: Press to play the corresponding samples in the software’s sampler (1–4).
Hold Shift and press a pad to stop its sample playback.

31. Sample Level: Turn this knob to adjust the volume level of the software’s samplers (1–4).
32. Level Meters: These LEDs display the level of the audio signal depending on the state of each deck and Channel Fader. The meters are not affected by the position of the Master Knob.
33. Mic Volume: Adjust the input gain of the microphone. This adjusts the hardware microphone preamplifier, not Mixxx's mic gain. The microphone input is not available to the computer through the MC4000's sound card; it is mixed with the master output in hardware.
34. Mic Echo: Toggle an echo effect on the microphone input. This effect is done in hardware, not in Mixxx.

35. Mic Talk Over / Post: Toggle microphone talkover, which automatically reduces the volume of the music when using the microphone. Hold shift and press to toggle whether the microphone input is routed to the booth output. These controls are done by the MC4000 in hardware and do not affect Mixxx.
36. Master: Adjust the master output level of the sound card. This does not affect the master gain in Mixxx.
37. Booth: Adjust the booth output level of the sound card. This does not affect anything in Mixxx.
38. Aux: Adjust the auxiliary output level of the sound card. This does not affect anything in Mixxx.
My proposal for GSOC 2017 is Microphone effects chain for Mixxx.Mixxx is the defacto standard in open source world for real time mixing music tracks. What it currentlylacks is a way to seamlessly integrate microphone input processing, allowing for the dj/presenter to tune thevoice track over mixed music. This would be an ideal solution for internet radio live broadcasting.In professional setups, a chain of effects is used in order to tune the speech signal with the rest of the mix,with a typical chain of a noise gate, noise suppressor, echo cancellation, ducker. What this project aims tofulfill is the development and integration of this effects chain into Mixxx.Mixxx has already an effects chain for the music mix, with selectable input source. In the same manner, themic input effect signal path would be developed and placed underneath the music effects, as a UI elementthat will be toggled from a toggle button on bottom left of the screen, in the same way that the music effectsviews are toggled. This means that as an add on this feature will be unobtrusive and can easily integratewith the rest of the existing UI elements.A mockup of the proposed speech processing chain is illustrated in the following figure.

The whole development will be done in C++ as Qt framework is used for Mixxx development and thereare also many existing audio processing libraries in C++. Existing open source projects that can be used for reference are the speexdsp library which implements speech processing components for speex codec, and WebRTC AEC library.
