definitely agree with this.

but im in the same boat at pkc. I can hear the difference in the cans and it just irks me.

Originally posted by Fpcookie there are 24 keys in total, 4 of which create a perfect harmony. mixing into the same key, its relative major or minor, and its dominant/subdominant.

i can count the amount of majors in my (trance) collection on two hands indeed, i treat majors as their relative minor simply because the difference (to me) is so small when mixing.

so, on the wonderful wheel, you have: same key, +1, -1, +4, -3, +7.

yes, there are times when any of those rules might not work, but that's the DJs job to work around.

which is the point i think people keep ignoring. its a guide, which you can break at any point you choose

Well put; even with feedback, your own personal style is what can work best

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN in that case ive got bad news for you bateman: techno sucks the wang! LOL. "key mixing isn't essential but i do it most of the time anyway". just coz youre not writing the key of your tunes on the sleeve doesn't mean youre not key mixing yeah i know! just like those stupid singers that feel the necessity to sing in tune/key! what a waste of time!

mate, misinterpret what I said if you want, I'm just stating that I've never consciously gone into a mix/set with the intention to keymix - over time you should do it naturally for some or most transitions without having to think about it.. at no time am I governed by the 'rules' of HAVING to mix every tune in key..

you are right tho, there are a number of keys that match up with other - it's not like only G minor tunes will match G minor tunes.. having said that, I don't understand the complexities behind music keys - this is just based on what I understand..

and you're comparing singing in key to DJing in key? well done.. that's like comparing sailing a boat to eating a brick.
