The other thing you need to take into consideration is the sound of the track, i.e. does it still retain its sonic qualities or at least enough to work on the dance floor. You would also have to watch the tracks that were taken a semitone down at lower pitches as the sound of the kick could end up like a wet fart as with the higher semitones where the pitched up version could end up sounding like a click.

i haven't had much luck passing vocal tracks through detune/transpose without the vocals sounding hollow or hella fake. i guess pasting well auto-tuned acapella and transposed dub versions together might help. but unless your name is t-pain and you beat the sh*t out of auto-tune everyday, it seems like an awful expensive way to go about addressing a trivial problem. i find it easier (on the ear) to pick some other vocal track in the right key than trying to put some lipstick on a pig.

Rule of thumb for me with ableton detune/transpose, a whole step transpose only when its unavoidable, and cross your fingers that people don't notice that high hats sound like chirps.

Yeah, it was just a thought but I do accept that there are indeed issues with doing this.
