Bug Description
When Mixxx controls the crossfader (internal mixer mode / MIDI), although it's set to the fastest cut in preferences, its cuts are too soft for scratching (more aggressive cuts are necessary for it, like on/off sound).
I recorded a video showing this problem, comparing stand-alone mixer mode and MIDI mode with Mixxx: https:/
I asked in forum if there is some way to make the crossfader more aggressive without modifying code, but they told me there isn't. It would be great to have a more aggressive option for crossfader in next versions! It would be a pleasure to test betas if you want me to do it, to check new values for the cut if someone knows where to modify that in the code and compile it for Windows (unfortunately, Mixxx can't detect my Traktor Z2 as MIDI controller at UbuntuStudio 16.04, but it does under Windows)
- Mixxx 2.0.0 Windows 64-bit (downloaded a few hours ago)
- Windows 7 SP1 64-bit (with latest updates)
- i5-2540M@2.60GHz
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Native Instruments Traktor Z2 (ASIO driver)
summary: |
- Fastest cut for crossfader too soft for scratching + Sharpest crossfader cut time is coupled to buffer size |

Could you try installing this and setting the crossfader to the maximum sharpness in the preferences? Is it sharp enough for you? /ci.appveyor. com/api/ buildjobs/ fapudxr335hsgpc 7/artifacts/ mixxx-2. 1.0-alpha- pre-master- PR1311- git6321- release- x64.msi
