I find this to be F#m (I know these 2 keys contain the same notes but the root note of flakes is definitely F#)

Also I mix Green Atlas - Circulation as D Major, though I have found D Major misses C from the second phrase of the main melody while D minor misses F# from the first phrase. Also I find that in general for this track DM has only one out of key note while Dm has two. E minor contains all the relevant notes I believe though for some reason I prefer to mix it as DM (*shrugs*).

I just wanted to let you guys know what a fab job you are all doing. Especially Nem who made me aware of harmonic mixing. I was doing it all along, but the whole trial and error thing is kind of annoying at times.

I've keyed most of my records based on a combination of my ear and mixmeister and just recently brians results have confirmed that I did a pretty good job on getting the correct key. (We have quite a lot of similiar records)

On the ones that I had a lot of trouble on, it turns out (thx to Brian) that they are actually major keys which is why I was having trouble finding them b/c I was always looking for the minor keys, but luckily I still got the key right.

Also I have found that if you are not sure about the key but feel you are pretty close, just mix it quickly into tracks that you know you have keyed correctly and see how it mixes, if its perfect, chances are you are right. If it mixes good (but the energy has changed, maybe up or down) perhaps you are just 1 number of on the camelot scale, so maybe move from say 1A (if this is what u think it is originally) and try it as a 2A and see if that works. Then try it with a 3A and see if it still sounds nice mixing with that track. Therefore it mixes with a 1A and a 3A but sounds best mixing with 2A tracks, so it must be a 2A.

Thats just the method I've been using and it works for me.

Keep it up guys,
Kev

yeah, thanks for all the effort Nem, and brian, and everyone else.

I think i am gonna key up my records, they are all the much sharper weapons when you know how to use them!

Big ups on the database, i can't wait to check those out. Guess I should get mixmeister, and mixshare, and check out the database too.

I got a guitar here as well, haven't really touched it since i got my decks, but i think it is time to break it out, i can play barre and power chords, but those are major i think..

time to study up.

Barre chords are all you need. Should work out fine.

The major and minor scales are the same set of notes. If you don't know the pattern for this scale it is:

11||||
||22||
333333
||||||
555555
||||66

If you start the 1 on G, this is the G major scale. It is also the E minor scale. You can transpose this pattern up the neck to play along in any key. So first find the main note the song/bassline seems to revolve around, lets say it is E, if the song is in E minor you will be able to play along using this pattern, but starting 3 notes higher (G).

Some people might find it easier to just play the minor chords but if you've ever improvised on guitar I think you could find the key in just a few seconds to most songs.

Originally posted by Nemesis44 Mono (Airbase, Jezper S�derlund or whatever else he calls himself)- Rise does indeed go in Am. The theory would suggest that they wouldn't go that well together but the reason why it works here is because Mono-Rise is a much slower record in order to play it with Cern at around 2% you need to play mono at about 6% which is a difference of 4% (yup my maths is amazing...) which pushes Mono closer to the A#m range than the Am. So you are actually mixing a D#m (2a) into a A#m) (3a). Nothing wrong with your ears though.. this actually works pretty well so just keep it at it. Simple rule is usually if you have more than a 3% difference with tracks it will sound real bad. Over 4% and you are actually closer to the next note up so you may have to treat the record differently and think about perhaps mixing it with some different records. Cheers Nem

yea, but the smith and pledger remix is a hell of alot faster. after doin all this, im kinda disapointed in myself. my ears are obviously not as good as i thought, and its disapointing

Ah yes, you're absolutely right. F#m it is. I've updated the list. Thanks for the heads-up

no problems mate

this list is getting really good

thanx for all the hard work you guys are putting into it!!

are we any closer to the database with just the 1 list yet ?



thanks

I have really shitty ears. I am almost always stuck between 2 minor keys and I dont know which one to go with!

I wish there was a sure fire way to key your records

It always makes me happy to see others getting good use out of my list, and I'm sure Nem feels the same way as well. I've got just a few more things to do on the db and then it'll be up. It's already got 401 tracks in there -- some of them are missing labels and BPM, but they all have keys.

Will be sure and post a url once its ready

Keep up the good work, it's very appreciated.

Nem : DK8 - Murder was the Bass...I've been playing this one as a 9 instead of a 6. What do u think about this?

Brian : Endre - Kallocain (Robert Nickson Mix)...I've been playing this one as a 2. And Ferry Corsten - Punk I think fits better as an 11. What do u think?

Hmmm, I just had a relisten and I think u guys r right about endre and dk8.

such a good thread and i agree with most this should be a sticky

is there a chart or summit that can show what keys go best with others

im not very good when it comes to music at this level a bit and im an lazy ass lol

I was thinking that.

brian must be a busy man

I believe that y'all might be looking for this - http://www.djprince.no/

10695_ house/trance/dance titles in the database
__4351_ pop titles in the database
__2063_ urban/hiphop titles in the database
__1744_ dance classic titles in the database

Useful website in terms of info but to be honest the majority of tracks in that list are old or waaay to commercial for my tastes. Some are also wrong.

Would have to agree on all of Nem's points here. The design and general organization bothers me a bit too.

Yeah the past few weeks have been bad for me -- I had a few presentations, some finals, and this week I've been moving back home for the summer. Sorry about the wait.

You can expect an update on the db very soon, I promise If you don't hear back from me within the next week, then by all means please bug me about it! PM me, email me, reply to this thread, hell, even SMS or call my cell phone! So yeah, within the next week.
