# Live shows with MIXXX {#mixxx}

Mixxx is a cross-platform Open Source application for DJs, available [here](https://www.mixxx.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installed on a desktop or laptop computer, Mixxx complements your LibreTime server to provide a complete system
|
|
|
|
|
|
for both live and scheduled broadcasting. Although Mixxx has many features designed for dance music DJs
|
|
|
|
|
|
that require beat matching and pitch independent time stretching, the program can be used for any kind of
|
|
|
|
|
|
manually triggered broadcast playout, including live speech shows such as news or current affairs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mixxx supports a wide variety of popular hardware control surfaces, which can be connected to your
|
|
|
|
|
|
computer using a USB cable. A control surface might replace or augment an analogue mixer in your studio,
|
|
|
|
|
|
depending on your live mixing and playout requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mixxx 1.9.0 or later includes a live streaming client which, like LibreTime, is compatible with the **Icecast**
|
|
|
|
|
|
and **SHOUTcast** media servers. This feature can also be used to stream from Mixxx directly into LibreTime,
|
|
|
|
|
|
using either the **Show Source** or **Master Source**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To configure **Mixxx** for streaming into LibreTime, click **Options**, **Preferences**, then
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Live Broadcasting** on the main Mixxx menu. For server **Type**, select the default of **Icecast 2**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For **Host**, **Mount**, **Port**, **Login** and **Password**, use the **Input Stream Settings**
|
|
|
|
|
|
configured in the LibreTime **Streams** page, on LibreTime's **System** menu. See [stream settings](stream-settings)
|
|
|
|
|
|
for remote input connection details.
