The Mixxx Board of Directors in pleased to announce plans to acquire the AlphaTheta Corporation (formerly known as Pioneer DJ), Serato Audio Research Ltd. and Native Instruments.
Damn, I got suckered in too that one.
“Sweet! All the functions on my deck will work soon…”
I already wondered for long time why they don’t just buy PioneerDj, the biggest DJ brand ever, with all the money you earn with a free open source project ;)
Almost got me there haha
TIL: Pioneer DJ is no longer Pioneer…
I think it still belongs to them, but they rebranded to AlphaTheta
Not according to Wiki. It’s owned by Noritsu.
Seems like you’re right: “In 2020 Pioneer DJ’s parent company’s name was changed to AlphaTheta Corporation. In March of that year KKR and Pioneer Corporation sold their respective stakes in AlphaTheta Corporation to Japanese holding company Noritsu” (Source)
At least it’s not a hedge fund. 🥹
Who the hell is Mixxx and why does this sound like the start of enshittification on the part of FL Studio
EDIT:
you fools :)
So glad my £10 donation could help make this happen!!
