Mixing in Same Key For a Long Time

ok I want ot make a mix, and when I select the songs, they seem to be about 5 in a row in the same key.

I think they have a great progression, and the tune slove each other.

I didn't plan to mix everything in the same key, I just notice afte rI choose the tracks, and create a progression.

Do you Think I should not try this beacuse they are too many tracks in the same key, and it will be lack of energy?

Thanks..

energy isnt your problem and though im sure its not quite this bad, i CAN relate it to a song that only has one chord the whole way through. dont do more than 4 in the same key or you might loose some interest.

songs need chord progressions, mixes need key changes.

using the camle easymix sytem

4A->4A->4B->4A->4A->4A->4A->

you think it will loos interest, going back to the sam ekey, After chanign just one key.

Hi,

I've tried mixes with 3 songs in the same key, but it's too easy to lose interest. It's better to go 4A > 4A > 5A > 5A > 6A, etc.

Music loses excitement when it sounds all the same.

why don't you try it, record, listen to it. wait a few days, listen to it again. does it have energy?? well, question answered.
