Skot_e, I see your point, but this is just a standard DJ mix recorded from vinyl by DJ Prince. It illustrates an example, but these songs are in no way affiliated with Mixed In Key. I am hosting several mixes / live sets on my personal site as well. We greatly respect these artists and we always purchase vinyl/mp3s legitimately from sources like BeatPort, TraxSource and DJDownload. |
Hi Nennon
I just want to say that this mix was created using "mixedinkey" and Sony Acid 5.0. I normally just do straight up vinylmixing, but I made an exeption in this case since I got to test the full version for free :-). What I did I took the records that I wanted in the mix and ripped each track to my pc as mp3, ran them trough "MixedInKey", used a keyboard to prove check the key detection. It was 100% correct. Then I sortet them by keycode in the program, that gave me the order, Now I had a suggestion for a mix that will sound in key, since most of the records are around the same BPM the pitch difference wouldnt matter that much.
Then I started Sony Acid 5.0. Added the first track, no beatmapping, left it as just oneshot, added the next song. Matched the bpm manually by adjusting pitch by rightclicking on the file. I could actually see if the two songs where on beat because of the waveforms. Now the two songs are onbeat and onkey. Did some fading in and out, some eqing and fx. This is a very easy way of making the perfect mix, but it takes away the "live" feel of it. I think MixedInKey is a great tool and it will change the way many djs mix, it wil actually learn harmonic mixing to those who cant find the key by ear. And NO I dont get any money saying this!!!
Just like to add that I always buy my music on vinyl, I do download mp3s, but I buy the ones worth having in the collection. Lets hope that DJ mixes dont get banned by the large record companies. There are even recordcompany forums that have threads for dj mixes(defected, swingcity etc etc), so I dont think dj mixes are any problems (yet)......
Kind Regards
