Mixxx Assignment 4: Balance and Volume

I used the program called Mixxx. What I did was i played with balance and the volume the song called ''Tonight'' by John Legend. I learned how to change in which channel/ear(left or right) I want to hear the song. Also I learned that the headphones I'm using has two settings ''Mono'' and ''Stereo''. I don't know how a DJ can use this but let me know if you can, DJ's!

Mixxx Assignment 3:Crossfader



What  I used the program called Mixxx. I used the sync button by dragging to songs to one deck and
another one to the second deck. After I did that I used the fader and  put to the left then to the right and kept doing that for a while. A Dj  could use this to have one song playing while the other is ready and if your performing you an switch songs at ease. Go and try it it works swelll. Gooood Luck!!!!!!

Mixx

I used this program called Mixxx. I f you are trying to be a Dj you should really use it for it. I didnt pay anything for it's free for anyone you can mix any song or even two songs at once. I hope to make my own music from some song beats that i have download on to the computer. I like tomake my own music i have raps and even slow songs so i want to make some beats to go with the songs. These are some of the songs I I was tweaking on Mixx.

What is Banshee


                                                                What is Banshee?

 This The Homepage is for the banshee media player  http://banshee.fm/. The latest version is 2.4,you can play music and videos on it. Also you can listen to podcast and live radio from the internet. The person who started it was  Aaron Bockover in 2005. 155 people are involved in Banshee.Its free for anyone. Some of the operating sites they use are openSUSE,Ubuntu,Foresight,Fedora,Debian,Mandriva,Mac Os x,Windows.   It took about the same amount of time to download it just like Itunes. How did I get my music from my itunes? I just went to file and import media and got to the folder that say "Download". I just download a song from here https://archive.org/details/MaxMelnerOrchestra-2011-08-17WestvillePub using the column "Flac" and it only on Banshee not on Itunes. But Itunes and Banshee are similar because the both let you play podcasts and music videos, also they both let you got to buy music from a store on the program.On Itunes you can many playlists on banshee i don't see if you can have more than one. Itunes matches the music you have on it with songs you might like Banshee doesn't. Itunes has home sharing  banshee doesn't.To Me Itunes is better because you can do more things than Banshee. So In Conclusion Itunes Is The BEST!!!!!
