==================

Mixxx
Digital Disc Jockey Interface
Mixxx is a digital DJ system, where wave, ogg and mp3 files can be mixed on a computer for use in live performances. Filters, crossfader, and speed control are provided. Mixxx can sync the 2 streams automatically, using an algorithm to detect the beat.
Mixxx works with Jack or OSS, can be controlled from the GUI or from external controllers, including MIDI devices and joysticks, and supports skins.
Version: 1.5.2svn~20070807dfsg-0ubuntu1~feisty1 (mixxx)
Mixxx integrates well into the Kubuntu desktop

DJ mixer for digital audio streams
The DBMix software collection mimicks a mixing desk as used by disc jockeys.
Using only a single sound card, it allows to mix audio streams from a variety
of sources, cross-fade between them, adjust the pitches, or punch in short
effects. Optionally, a second sound card (or output channel) can be used to
cue in songs.

Hercules DJ Console access library
The DJ Console library is a C++ library that facilitates access to the
Hercules DJ Console MK I and MK II via libusb. It supports all non-audio
functions such as LEDs, buttons and controllers.

JackEQ
routes and manipulates audio from/to multiple sources
jackEQ is a tool for
routing and manipulating audio from/to multiple input/output sources.
It runs in the
JACK Audio Connection Kit, and uses LADSPA for
its backend DSP
work, specifically
the DJ EQ
swh plugin created by Steve Harris, one of jackEQ's main authors.
jackEQ
is intended to provide an
accessible method for tweaking the treble, mid and bass of any
JACK aware applications output. Designed specifically for live performance, it is modelled on various DJ mixing consoles which the main author has used.
jackEQ wll
allow sound as rich and
powerful as Jackie
O, as street smart as Jackie Brown. jackEQ may be the first female entity in JACKs realm. Is jackEQ more than you can handle?
Version: 0.4.1-1ubuntu1 (jackeq)
JackEQ integrates well into the Ubuntu desktop

terminatorX
A realtime audio synthesizer
terminatorX is a realtime audio synthesizer that allows you to "scratch" on digitally sampled audio data (*.wav, *.au, *.mp3, etc.) the way hiphop-DJs scratch on vinyl records. It features multiple turntables, realtime effects (built-in as well as LADSPA plugin effects), a sequencer and an easy-to-use gtk+ GUI.
Version: 3.82-7ubuntu2 (terminatorx)
terminatorX integrates well into the Ubuntu desktop

Internet DJ Console
graphical shoutcast/icecast client
Internet DJ Console is an Internet radio application for making a live radio show or podcast. Features include two main media players with a crossfader, a jingle player, microphone signal processing (compressor and noise gate), IRC track announcements with X-Chat, an automatic stream shut-off timer, MP3 or Ogg streaming and recording at various bit rates, aux input for connecting external JACK aware applications, and audio level meters.

Gnaural Binaural-beat Generator
A programmable binaural-beat audio generator
Gnaural is a programmable "binaural beat generator", based on the principle first described in October 1973 Scientific American, Gerald Oster, Auditory Beats in the Brain. There has been considerable research done on this principle since that publication, and Gnaural's predecessor, WinAural, has even been used as the audio stimulus in a study published in the proceedings of Biomedical Engineering 2004, "The Induced Rhythmic Oscillations of Neural Activity in the Human Brain", D. Cvetkovic, D. Djuwari, I. Cosic (Australia), From Proceeding (417) Biomedical Engineering - 2004.
The central idea of the Binaural Beat principle is that brain activity can be entrained to the auditory beat frequencies created when each ear is presented simultaneously with tones of slightly-differing frequency. It has been proposed that entrainment can be used to target specific mental states, ranging from restful and meditative to highly alert.
Gnaural can output directly to your computer's soundsystem, or to an audio file (.WAV format), which you can then burn to an audio CD or compress to MP3 to make available for portable use. Stereo headphones are required to maintain the stereo separation of the tones needed for your auditory system to create the binaural beats.

Version: 0.3.20060421-0ubuntu1 (gnaural)

There's also XWAX http://www.xwax.co.uk/ that lets you control oggs and mp3s with your turntables. But it takes a little work to setup. You may want to wait until you understand linux a little more before trying it.

What I think Ubuntu is lacking as far as radio show is concerned is an effects soundboard application like this (http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/soundboard/index.html) one. I've gotten that program's interface to run in WINE, but haven't been able to get it to actually out put audio.

it'd be fairly straightforward to program this in PD, but yeah, that really isn't something that's readily available in Ubuntu's Repos

check Hydrogen (and there are others too), thats a drum-percussion-computer-program and !
you can load short/longer audio-recordings (wav-files) for the single instruments, and in Hydrogen there are 32(and more?) to be filled with such noise. The noise can be altered in loudness and mood(bass-sopran-alt...) and can be played with a mouse-click on the play-button of the instrument and ... thats the sense of the drum-machine, it can be repeated and combined with all instruments .. normaly to get a percussion background or solo ... but you can do something like:
hello! ..... HELLO! ... get .. get ... get .... IT
and so on.. if you have such sounds loaded for the different instruments

Thank you for this-I just found this thread and Mixxx is EXACTLY what I'm after!

Have you looked at Soundpanel (http://www.salemradiolabs.com/soundpanel/) from Salem Radio?

I've been using TerminatorX and it would be absolutely ideal for everything I need except I can't seem to find a crossfade function to fade between the two turntables smoothly. Am I just blind or is that feature really not a part of the program? It seems ridiculous to me that the program could support multiple digital turntables and not offer a crossfade function between them. Any help?

Ubuntu Studio is definitely a must-have distro if you work with graphics, audio, or video.... one of the nicest-looking distros period. It's what I use for my laptop and have very few complaints.

I've been toying with the ideas of doing some DJing lately -- though, not the biggest priority in my lists due to other obligations. My ex-roommate did it the old way of vinyl, so I learned a few tricks during that time (though, never really did much while he was around -- he's the one that got me into Linux in the first place, but I think I use Linux much more than he does now!).

So far, from what I've seen of the DJing programs, you can't get much better than Mixxx. And for VJing and general video production, LiVES (http://lives.sourceforge.net/) is just about perfect.

[dconstruct]

Do you have any suggestions for programs better than Mixxx? Like I said, I think TerminatorX would be perfect if I could find a crossfade function. But if you know of others that are good, let me know.

Thanks!
