I find it most instructional and best to just display everything in musical (Am / C) terms and learn or memorize which goes together, since this will likely serve you better in the long run. It just happens that relative minors/majors have zero different scale notes, and adjacent keys on these wheels have only one different scale note. In house often you might be mixing into the outro, which is just a kick and maybe some hats, all of which are pretty inharmonic, and likely you won’t go wrong mixing anything into it if you’re at the same tempo. It’s a question not only of the number of different notes you can tolerate when mixing together, but obviously when you mix together. Here is a nifty image that shows all three labeling nomenclatures together:
I find the concept that they try to teach valuable, ie: “see how keys adjacent to each other can be played together pretty well?”. You can be a bit more cavalier and overwrite tempo too, but know that if you have custom cues already written to files in Traktor library that may mess with them. This ensures that keys get overwritten, but that tempo won’t for existing tracks in your Traktor library. Here by “file tags” Traktor of course means ID3 tags, which is how both MixedInKey and Traktor record the results of the analysis.
#Mixed in key traktor code
The source code forked repo for Mixx here for it is actually fairly understandable if you’re a decently competent C++ programmer.
Harmonic mixing is an innovative way to mix tracks together.
#Mixed in key traktor software
It was originally coded up as a Master’s thesis, but today is maintained by an OSS DJ software called Mixxx. This is an add-on to the DJ software Traktor for improving its harmonic mixing capabilities. I have to point out that there’s a pretty awesome open-source option: KeyFinder. I have not been able to get MixedInKey -> Traktor cue points to work, nor am I sure I care that much.Īdditionally, I find the Camelot / Open key stuff nice to think about harmonic mixing, but I really prefer the unified format of the real keys themselves.
I bought the paid version of MixedInKey, and now have the following sequence to load/analyze new tracks: No such study has been done on accuracy of BPMs, but I have found less variance there anecdoctally. MixedInKey is on version 8, so I took this as a sign their key labeling was best. Assuming that all the platforms improved equally (which I don’t honestly think Native Instruments has been working that hard on Traktor Pro…) we might still assume that MixedInKey is best. MixedInKey 6 was by far the best performer. You can see a nifty data-driven analysis of this from 2014. It’s possible to do this with Traktor DJ Pro, with the “Analyze” option, but it’s not the most accurate way to do this. When I find new tracks I’d like to throw into a set at some point, the prerequisites are:
