also, take into consideration, they EQ a lot, which i can imagine may slightly vary the key of the track, for instance, if they have everything killed but the highs, to basically have highhats or other high frequency instruments playing, they have eliminated the bassline, which could seriously influence how the overall product would sound, what key it would be in.

Those high frequency intruments(synths, pads, not drums) are still in key with the track even if it has the low and mids cut. Can you imagine how terrible a three deck set would sound if the tracks were all in a different key? It would make the baby jesus cry.

yeah, what i meant was the highs for instance, should be in key with the track, but not necessarily the mids or the lows, since they get cut, therefore, two tracks that as a whole are out of key can be mixed in key on 3 decks, if you just use certain frequencies.

again, just me speculaitng...

If the highs are in key then shouldn't the mids and lows be in key.

Omg guys

you make this sound so complicated

and what about this harmonical mixing....
there is no harmonical mixing...there is good....and bad mixing

like someone said....beatmaching is the technique and putting up a good set is an art...you can just get it while reading something on Ta

you gotta practice

it seems that ive always been good to choose tracks that fit well togheter
you just have to mix it at the right moment....if you enter a track while you are playing a trance song with a buildup well....90% of the time it will sound like crap...you gotta enter second track while your main track is loosing power....so you can kick the bass in so you dont loose any flow


some have it....some dont

sven vath has it

armin doesnt

There is no harmonical mixing? Pfft! Go back to where you came from. I know there is good and bad mixing. Bad mixing is out of key and out of phrase. Good mixing is in key and in phrase. Just because you have to wait till your main track is losing power to start mixing in doesn't mean we all suck that bad. I like to hold my transitions for about 3 minutes and I like to start mixing in after the first break. I also like to keep my tracks in key, scratch, and beat juggle. I figure DJs that mix out of key are noobs or tonedeaf. K thx plz drive thru
