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.

So one could load say 30-45 minutes of music on it and arrange it to be beat matched?

What non-linux software do you want a linux alternative to? Fruityloops?

I have no idea. I just see a lot of people creating mixtapes using their computers. So I thought that maybe there's a way to just put a couple of tracks together and kind of create my own set. I know I could use Audacity but that's kind of a clunky mess and when you start screwing around with pitch control I can't imagine that working well. None of my computers run Windows or Mac OS. I used to dual boot Windows 7 with Linux but that was a long time ago.

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

I'm not sure what that means.

You can load your own sounds and it can act as a looper.

If you wanted to load synth loops you could. I primarily use it for just drums. I can play synths or guitar or bass just fine, so I don't usually need to orchestrate their arrangement. I just need drums because you can't play drums while playing other instruments.

I just meant instead of buying mp3 turntables to mix songs I want to do it by loading them into a program and moving the pitch around to make it best match. Do that to say 10 songs and have a mixed tape of tunes I like to drive around to or whatever. So I'm not creating a song I'm using already created songs to beat blend two together like how DJs do at a club. But I want to do this on a computer for myself to enjoy. I'd get the music that I dig up on pipepipe or jootube, allegedly of course.

Audacity is probably what I'd use for that.

I'd use chordify to spot the key if I couldn't hear it by ear, then I'd ask the AI on the formula to slow down, speed up, etc by which percentage to make bpms and keys match.
