Ive heard of dj's setting all there musci files to the same key!

whats the theory behind it or the benefit of doing this??

Don't believe it. Why on earth would anyone want all their tracks in the same key?

The only way to benefit from key changing a track is by only changing it up or down by one or mabey two semi-tones (depending on the track) to get two tracks harmonically compatible, that may not be normally.
This doesn't work very well with vocals however.

I think i did hear about this somewhere but its pretty stupid to me. A more common thing that i did hear about though is changing the BPM's of all your songs to match. Personally i think this is lame too. I don't really see a benefit of it.

heard tiesto does it and alot of top jocs, is it not a feature of the djm800, does it not have a colour thing that brings tracks into same key so harmonics match for a smoother mix??

Well, if you want to make your set monotonous and dull then that's exactly the thing for you.

a set recorded to cd for car or home use should be cleaner than a live set as listinen to a live set at home lets u hear all the inperfections!

I think you are confusing that with Key Lock. On some mixer and even turntables/cd players there is a key lock function that keeps the key of the track the same if you change pitch. That way the track doesn't sound like it was sang by the chipmunks if you speed it up too fast. It also helps to avoid key clashes with the track that is playing.

Yeah - but it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

You're not making any sense.

you can play a perfect set without everything being in the same key and bpm if you don't suck.

it's called practice, try it sometime.

Seriously, try some proper sentence structures and people might actually understand you.
