Allen & Heath releases software based on TA's design

Dear Friends,

Allen & Heath has announced new DJ software called "Xone Mixed In Key". Based on the original design created by DJ Yakov and several other TranceAddicts about one year ago, Xone Mixed In Key scans your music files and shows you which songs are harmonically compatible. The benefit to the DJ is extremely smooth mixing. Xone Mixed In Key helps you eliminate key clashes, muddy mixes and out-of-key elements from your DJ sets.


Mixed In Key is currently used by thousands of DJs including Pete Tong, Deep Dish, Dean Coleman, Kuffdam & Plant and many more. Mixed In Key also hosts an active harmonic mixing community where DJs can improve their DJ mixing. Now that Xone Mixed In Key is part of Allen & Heath's software line-up, we can combine world-famous DJ equipment with our fastest growing DJ software for harmonic mixing.

Press release from Allen & Heath:


XONE ENABLES DJ�S TO MIX IN KEY

Allen & Heath, manufacturer of the leading Xone mixer range, has teamed up with Mixed In Key to offer new software which enables DJ�s to analyse and harmonise tracks. This partnership is the first seamless integration of top-class mixing equipment with the fastest growing DJ application on the market.

Xone Mixed In Key is Windows / Mac OS X software that allows DJs mix in total harmony. It analyses MP3 and .WAV files, identifies the key of a track, and highlights which other tracks are harmonically compatible. Xone Mixed In Key allows the DJ to discover harmonically-compatible songs in their music collection. The benefit is extremely smooth mixing with no key clashes.


�Xone Mixed in Key is a fantastic innovation for DJ�s, and eliminates the time-consuming and laborious task of manually detecting the root note of every track. Allen & Heath has a golden reputation in the DJ community, and we're excited to offer Xone Mixed In Key software to a wider audience,� writes Mixed In Key president, Yakov Vorobyev.

�The explosion of digital DJ�ing over the past couple of years has introduced a wealth of technical advantages to the art of DJ�ing. Xone Mixed In Key is a case in point. DJ�s have instant access to thousands upon thousands of new music files and this software can quickly and easily enable them to put tracks into musical context,� concludes Xone designer, Andy Rigby-Jones.



Cheers,
Yakov (TA since 2001)

meh ... why limit yourself

I suppose it was only a matter of time before you were back to spam this.

but he's got the big boys on his side now!

I love how one of the ringing endorsements of the product is by the president of the company, lol.

Yes, I've never understood why this guy was allowed to spam here regularly and without repercussions...

Regardless - if the program is as accurate as the previous one, I think I'll remain happy with MixShare/RE - which has proven to be about as accurate for me as keying tracks on a keyboard/guitar.

Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free, you know?

Fuck off already.

it's like when parsons posts about 'real music' and puts 'played by (insert b list djs) then adds his own name too in there.

see. im tonedeaf. I'm known for clashing keys & being proud of it. With something like this, i'd just be a shit mixer, not a shit mixer who unintentionally clashes.

did we really need it posting in several forums too?

Does anyone know why Nennon has yet to be banned?

judging by the amount of shit that passes these forums i would blame slack moderating.

I really don't think that's it - montana and Allied Nations are pretty active - and this isn't the first time we've had a lot of mixed in key spam.

He's the only spammer I can think of that I don't recall being banned - though I could be entirely wrong.

Guys, there is no need for negativity. We don't post "spam" and its once in a blue moon that a company like Pioneer or Allen & Heath creates new DJ software based on the viral support from the DJ community.

There are thousands of DJs who use the software now who really like it, including hundreds of trance DJs (many of them are TAs who helped improve it since day one). There is no point in being negative about it.

Yes there is. Your software is shit.

There is when your only posts on this forum are you to advertise software in which you hold a vested financial interest.

The only thing you use this forum for is to sell your product. In my opinion, one I'm sure is shared by at least a few others, that is the very definition of spam.

And again, I have to ask - why is it that this guy is allowed to do this when anyone else who does anything remotely similar is almost always instantly banned?

RJT,

Most communities stick together and we're enthusiastic about helping DJs improve their mixing. We've been on TA for ages and we've followed the DJ scene for more than 10 years. My first-ever DJ set was posted on TA in May 2001. Since then I've played several Ministry of Sound gigs, and about 30 different clubs in the US. It's fun to share my knowledge and information with others, and I don't feel embarassed or bad coming to my favorite trance community. Our partnership with Allen & Heath is very positive because it encourages more DJs to learn music theory and become better DJs and producers.

How you think that justifies coming here SOLELY to sell your product is beyond me.

You aren't shareing knowledge - you're selling a product for personal gain.

Software that does all the keying and work for you does anything but encourage music theory knowledge.

Mixing solely based on key does not make someone a better DJ.

So nobody knows why this guy gets a free pass, huh?

That's a shame.

I don't generally moderate outside of MW. I don't want to be accused of being power hungry again.

Duh! He allows DJ's to mix in key! That was never possible before, you know!
