By the start of the summer Varun had already integrated 3 open source key detection libraries into Mixxx so that we could see which one worked best. This highly requested feature allows DJs to see the harmonic key of songs that they are mixing and adjust the pitch in real-time so that songs are harmonically compatible. ![]() Varun Jewalikar, from Spain, added a harmonic mixing framework to Mixxx. This year's crop of students hit the ground running and Max, Varun, and Matthew had nearly finished their proposed projects by the time the summer started!

Since Mixxx is a cross-platform, performance-critical and heavily multi-threaded C++ application it can often be a daunting task for Google Summer of Code students to get acclimated to the codebase and begin contributing.
