I tried it many years ago and this didn't work. Can Mixxx be used with the Rane mixers used with Serato back in the day?

Does the mixer speak midi? In that case probably.

Is there already a mapping for you device? Check the manual https://manual.mixxx.org/2.5/en/

Even if there's not a mapping Mixxx has a "MIDI Learning Wizard" (I forget what they call it) where, assuming it speaks MIDI, you can plug it up, choose an action, and then move the control for that action and it will figure out how to wire it up. For simple configurations that don't require scripting (ie. no setting LEDs on the controller or what not) you can get a fully functional setup for a controller Mixxx has no knowledge of without writing any JavaScript or XML at all!

specifically: https://manual.mixxx.org/2.5/en/hardware/manuals#hardware-ma...

and if not there, the forum might have one: https://mixxx.discourse.group/c/controller-mappings/10

I notice that HID is also supported: https://manual.mixxx.org/2.5/en/chapters/controlling_mixxx#c...
