Mixing in key?

Hi i have seen a few videos lately where famous trance DJ's have talked about mixing records by what key the music is written in. I was just wondering how do they know which key the track is written in? Obviously i'm not a producer so would i be able to work out what Key tunes are in or not?

Any advice/info appreciated, thanks.

That was last year. It's gone up to $450 for 2011 and there's a waiting list so no chance anytime soon anyway.

Lol. Nah but seriously you can't really tell what key something is in without having some basic musical knowledge.

Check this sticky http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=125634 for a list of keyed tunes that users have already identified.

The list is far from complete, but it may help.

The big name DJ's use VDJ and Mixmeister to find the key of the song.

Yeah, but who really needs a full 88 keys? Bit of overkill if you ask me. And you know those three effect pedals by your feet aren't going to see as much use as you think they are. Better off getting a glockenspiel for about 1/10 of the price, imho.
