harmonic mixing--reliable key detection

hey all,

the free harmonic mixing tool, rapid evolution, is now available for the mac and pc. better yet, among other things it has a much more reliable key detector than before! don't believe me? go check it out yourself :-) as usual you can detect from mp3s or live audio input. use it to find great sounding mixes (and save them). please post your feedback on the website, [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
thanks!

if when you say "how reliable is this program" you mean the key detection, i can't give an exact # or percentage since i don't have a definitive list of test songs and their keys, however from experience i'd say (conservatively) 75% or more accurate--depending on the style of the song (i.e. jazz and songs with modulating keys or no key will obviously return results that might be off) it's much better than mixing your songs blindly! plus, the program has a built in midi keyboard so you can easily confirm keys if necessary. that being said, this is only a small part of the program, there are many other uses! ;-)
