Hey GT357 (sorry f got name wrong!),
Changing the pitch has a major effect. The exact amount is open to debate though. Am pitched down by ~5% will then be G#m, similarly pitched up, will be A#m. You would then have to select a key that was compatible with G#m, NOT with Am, so pick G#m, Ebm or C#m.
If you have 2 tracks in the same key then you can get a seamless mix (not always depends on chords too). If you go from Am to Bm, you know there is going to be an increase in energy (call it what you like). have to be careful though when mixing incompatible keys. But can create wicked changes in mood, would be boring if you stayed in Am all night! Experiment!

cheers Kev Boy. Much appreciated that!

Does anyone get Robert Nickson - Twisted By design as a D#m and Ocean Drive as Fm??

Hey everyone!
If anybody wants any tunes keyed, let me know and i will do them for you (if i have them). If i don't have them,then if you could get them to me, then i would happily do them for you.

cheers

I have 2 excel spreadsheets full of tunes, 550 in total, mostly prog...will email to you guys.....99% of them are correct

Just some advice for any fellow keying newbies; i only started doing it today, and was seriously struggling. couldnt make head nor tales of the whole thing and was getting quite frustrated.
anywayz, i decided to just sit there and hum whatever note the track made me feel was right, and *then* i matched my humming to the note on the keyboard i was using. and it worked well, assuming the keys i got from the database are right

just my two cents.

you guys really need to be using "rapid evolution" from [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
... it now stores key information in a central database online so djs can share bpm/key/style and even mix information... cheers!

Or just learn to do it yourself and learn about music at the same time.
Thanks for the input but my feeling is that a DJ will gain more valuable knowledge if he/she actually understands the process behind it. It might also inspire someone to start producing too.

Cheers

nem--i totally agree, it's important for djs to know how to do it themselves... i just saw that people were posting all of their songs and keys here, which is tedious and this program can exchange this info for you... plus, when you do key your songs by ear, you need a keyboard or instrument of some sorts, and if you don't have access to one the program can also help you there too. to each their own! ;-)

Can't say fairer than that my friend.
