Changing the keys of a track

If I want to change the key of a track, how would I go about doing that? I realize there is a sticky about this ontop, but didn't find anything about it.

if you are talking about digital tracks, go get ableton or cubase and download a pitch slide vst plug-in.

if you are talking about vinyl, then yes, use the little slider that says +8 - -8

buy a CDJ with pitch lock. set the pitch where you want it. engage pitch lock (or master tempo as it is also called) and adjust BPM to where you want them and re-record the track. otherwise, see above post.

trying to do this with vinyl? cant be done.

you really have to change the pitch on the pitchslider atleast 3% from the original key when it's at zero pitch. or use keylook if you have that feature?

correction notice to above post:

the numark ttx does have master tempo or pitch lock. but like koolaide said, it sounds like "balls." i do not know what balls actually sound like, because mine dont talk. however if i had to guess i would say that balls sound alot like shit. so for a better analogy, it will sound like shit!

Never used this function on my TTX in all the time I've had it but I'll give it a try somtime and see how it sounds.

The TTX has to be set to line instead of phono for it to work tho I think, plus it only gives you the option of 10% pitch or something gay like that instead of having 3 to choose from when its set to phono

i have stanton str8-80s and for hip hop its does not sound bad it really depends on the song also ill go +12% and put the key correction and itll work pretty decently but sometimes will sound like and echo. Why do cd players have a better master tempo than the turntables though?

But using the key correction when you go into negative pitch sounds like balls and/or shit
