I used to spin and DJ a long time ago but I'm kind of enjoying drum and bass again. Is there DJing software that I could use with my Linux Mint machine? Was thinking about allegedly getting music from web sources and just making some 'mixed tapes' to drive around to.

You have wine that works pretty well these days, no need to dual boot, you can run a lot of windows programs with it

LMMS, reaper, ardour, that's the linux/free equivalents of macosx's garageband

I don't like them much but well, to do what you want to do I guess it's largely enough, not sure any of those can dynamically map beats to any track on the fly though

I would start with LMMS if you didn't try it already, because when it comes to install I never had any issue with it, it's in the repos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qfa9hGJzoY

Cool I'll give that a try. If I can move the pitch around and view and move the waveform I think I can figure out something.

>by Couldntve » Mon Mar 07, 2022 8:46 am I would hugely appreciate pitch shifting being added, where you could change a note, but not have the speed change in the piano roll. It would be incredible if there was a setting to toggle this on and off in case people are used to the way it is now. >by Monospace » Mon Mar 07, 2022 11:40 am Problem is, this is typically practically impossible in a DAW for music. Logistically, the only way pitch shifting can work is by changing the speed of the sound. To change pitch while keeping length/speed exact, you would have to generate extra samples as fill-in. This is a messy job. Any application that claims to pitch-shift, either changes speed of note, or changes the sound in advance and cannot be edited as easily, and cannot be modified in realtime. It's like changing tempo without changing pitch, except a lot more complex, because with tempo you can just remove samples. But I'm just guessing here, from whatever I've seen so far. Someone else will have to confirm.

Good point because on a turntable the pitch control is really adjusting the speed in a micro-adjustable way.
