Hi guys,

I am thinking of driving a DJ application from Python.
I am running Linux and I found the Mixxx app.
Does anyone know if there are python bindings, or if this is possible at all?
or does anyone have experience with another software that does the same DJ thing?

I have also found the pymixxx module that I could install... but I didn't find any documentation so far or example code that could help me start (I'm keeping on searching).

Finally maybe that there is any DJ app that could be driven by pygame.midi?

Any idea appreciated.
Sorry to fail to be more specific.

Mik

PS: I've reposted this message as the previous subject (software app and Python: any experience?) didn't make any sense

I'd just go with a command line app that triggered a .wav file at
certain points using time.sleep(x)

Hydrogen, and audacity work perfectly together.

What I was about to do is take the mic, get the soundtrack/beat to the
song going, and then plug it into audacity for further modification,
or you can roll your own.

Hi David,
thanks for your reply.
I am not sure though that this is going to help me.
We have built a kind of basic controller that sends commands via bluetooth.
Then I should have some device (like a linux pc or raspberry Pi) where I have my applications that listen for these bluetooth commands and drives a DJ application accordingly (like mixing two sounds, sync them etc).

Obviously to write the whole application will take ages and I saw that the Mixxx one does everything I want.
So I am searching for a way to interface to it programatically.

Do you mean that Hydrogen and Audacity would replace the Mixxx app and I can call their functionality from Python?
Or were you thinking about something else?

Thanks,
Mik

What I was about to do is take the output to the headphones, get the

or you can roll your own.

Well you can just use their(Mixx's) source code that they used from
another wav form manipulation library(more than likely), after the
trigger from the bluetooth. If you're talking voice, and music to
sync, then either go with transmitting at the same, or take two
receivers(one for each transmitter), and run them in unison on
different frequencies, after they've been received..

I've never tried this, but it seems logical.

This may not be too helpful, but I built a TCP server into the Mixxx application (in C++). I placed the server in ratecontroller (as I needed to vary the rate remotely). I then could send and receive TCP packets with a singleboard computer that ran a python client.

It wasn't too bad. If you want I can see if I can release the server code.
