Just a quick question about keycodes.

I know that if I've got a tune that's for example 2a, I can mix that into any other 2a, 1a, 3a or 2b.

But, I'm sure I read somewhere that I could also mix it into a keycode that's 7 places round the clock (ie - 2a > 9a).

Is this true?

the possibilities are:

+1
+4
+7
-1
-3


so yeah 7 is possible

And all of these would be compatible with each other?

Also, if I can +4, can I -4? Or doesn't it work like that?

subtract the number from your current keycode...

let's say you're playing a 7A

from there you can go

+1 = 8A
+4 = 11A
+7 = 2A (I think sorry I'm a bit overloaded lol)
-1 = 6A
-3 = 4A

the general rule is +/- 1 is fine for mashing and are perfectly harmonic (they're perfect 5ths) but anything else is considered a modulation mix and i would recommend making sure that the basslines do not overlap when you are doing this type of mix. it's going for changing the energy or the overall feel of the mix or taking the crowd in a different direction however

Cheers, that makes sense. What about going from 2a > 2b? Is that harmonic?

Cool.

Something that I have noticed is that none of my tunes have a B keycode, they are all A's.

Does that sound right? I am using MixMeister Fusion to scan my tracks.

yes 99% of edm will be A not many tracks will land in a B

95 % of EDM songs are in Minor Keys (A's)

About mixmeister it has never shown me a major key, I think that software only detect Minor Keys.

I think it just detects the root note and puts an "A" behind it...but seriously ... I believe most people are able to find out a song is major just by it's feel...or not?
