I'd recommend you read my profile and what I do for a living before shooting off your mouth. Professional audio engineer for 17 years and still mixing (so not tone def). Both studio and live sound. I co-own one the largest sound reinforcement companies in California. I've played drums, piano, bass, and guitar since six years old. I grew up around the industry. The reason I asked about this program, is because one it was recommended by several of my dj friends, and two, I don't have the luxury to sit behind my set up all day long listening to my music. I would use this program more for a starting point when I practice, and buy new music. Not during a gig or any of that shit.

I find the programme useful and find it helps more so as a reference as opposed to a rule.

Before I used the programme, I was pretty much tone deaf. I actually try to guess the key of tracks I buy before I run it through the software. I am actually getting pretty good at predicting the actual key when viewing the end result. Not a perfect guess every time, but close.

I would like to mention that Nem gave me some guidance for this which has been very helpful to me.

I ended up buying 4.0 last night. Gonna try to load some songs into it tonight. Like I said earlier, it's only a starting point. Because of my job, there's times where I don't touch the gear for weeks. And with other music projects running around in my head I tend to forget some of the music I spin. So I feel this program could help in the long run. Even if it's not exact. Ballpark figures are fine with me.

Thanks again for all the input.

Didn't mean to sound like I was "shooting off my mouth". I was making a recommendation. You sound like my girlfriend when she's on the rag...lighten up man.

All I was asking for was opinions on the software. If I were not a musician or tone def I would've expressed that. On a side note, I am as chill as they come.
