I was wondering if anyone using Mixxx Dj software has upgraded to Windows 10 and had any issues,
I suppose it would be also be handy to know if those using software other than Mixxx have experienced any problems. I'm nervous about upgrading just in case I regret it!
Its fine with serato. But unless you have window vista I wouldn't bother. Windows 10 constantly updates and when you search for a tracks using the search browser on your laptop etc, you have to open the folder before copying over. On windows 7 you could just drag n drop.
I had more issues updating Win10 than I have from using software.
I actually like Win10 as an OS. However, I don't like the "door-to-door-salesman" tactics that MS are using to get people to upgrade. It should be a free choice for the user.
I'm a big fan of windows 10 on my desktop with dual monitors - works excellently and is an improvement in many ways. However it's not without its issues:
UA25 soundcard does not support windows 10 / will never. Had to find a workaround!
Start menu button stopped working. Had to restore to previous date to get working again (took around 4 hours to faff about with) and last night my fiancées laptop did the same (at least I know what to do now)... Common problem, if it did happen I wouldn't be bothered on work laptop as I have shortcuts.
I'm sure they will iron out the bugs... Just in time for when they charge you to upgrade it probably haha.
I keep seeing horror stories like this about 10. I think I'll stick with 7 for home use & Linux for DJing. Going to be giving Mixxx 2.0 a good going over soon. I've tried it on my 7 machine & found it nice - the new master tempo/pitch correction is absolutely butter smooth. FX? MEH.Quote:

Yeah I'm not a fan of the new skin at all. The FX seem too hard to actually use (and there's no mapping for my controller for those yet, so more work ahoy). I gave VDJ a try and was impressed with its time/pitch correction and FX but have yet to try it with my controller. The only other snag is that I need to run it on Windows. Serato can take a run & jump - having to pay for decent time/pitch correction is a big no-no IMHO.Quote:

Don't get me wrong Windows 10 has its downfalls and a few bugs they need to fix but all-in-all a pretty sweet operating system, and at the minute i'm using Mixx DJ software on a windows 10 laptop and all is working sweet.... so far
