Mixxx Macros Requirements

Personas

"Raptor" is an experienced DJ who experiments with cue point drumming.

"Bob" wants to prepare his track so he can DJ mostly hands-off at a birthday party. For this he wants to censor his tracks as well prepare a few transitions.

"Sona" used to create custom versions of songs (extended & rearranged parts) in Ableton Live, but would like to avoid the problems this entails (duplication, quality loss through re-encoding, takes rather long, can get lost in editing)

"Jannis" wants to record Mash-ups in Mixxx, but currently has to re-record them several times, and even then he doesn't get them exactly how he wanted. He doesn't want to get into a DAW for that either.

User Stories

As Raptor
I want to

• start a Macro recording
• press cue points to create a beat
• if live have it repeat immediately
• save this as a looped Macro
• assign it to a hotcue

so that I have a cool custom beat based on a track, which I can invoke anytime.
Requirements: everything on controller

As Bob
I want to create a very simple rearrangement and censoring of a track and save it to the track in enabled state
so that the track is automatically played back in that arrangement.
Requirements: Without controller

As Sona
I want to be able to quickly recreate my Ableton Live edits in Mixxx
so that I can eliminate the data duplication and speed up my workflow for creating new edits.

As Jannis
I want to record an edit to a track, potentially with cue point drumming
so that I can play that back while creating a Mash-up.
I would appreciate the ability to edit a Macro so that I don't have to re-record it if I made a small mistake
