I stumbled across Mixxx many years ago when I wanted to get started with digital vinyl systems (timecode vinyl records). It was the really hot shit back then and Serato and Traktor were the market leaders.

Back then Mixxx didn't feel like a finished product, everything was not ready to actually use it in a "production" setting.

Then I found xwax [1], which uses the same timecode library as mixxx iirc. Very unspectacular UI, no mouse support, but super stable and easily as good as the commercial Serato Scratch Live. Just needed a 4i4o audio interface for around $100 and it was good to go, awesome software!

Impresive that xwax still gets updated.
