Don't sweat it too much though, it isn't as difficult as it may sound to start with.
You may well find that once you start doing this you may well have been doing naturally before... on the other hand, once you look back at your old sets you may want to puke he he.

It will make your transitions a lot easier too.

I wish someone could make a single post and edit it, or at least, give link to a external db on the first page since there's no way everyones going to read the whole thread.

What about a Wikikey? (wiki dedicated to harmonic mixing)

mixshare.com

Yeah, but we don't know their program's acuracy.

As always though, human ear is better. Just learn a few chords on a key board. You don't even have to have a keyboard. Most sound cards have a function where you can find keys and press them on you computer keyboard. Just find the basic key that the song goes in. With trance that's usually enough as most of it's in minor keys.

You can usually tell what sounds right. The key is the one note that works with every part of the song.

I know. The point is that for a same track, someone else did it and we shouldn't have to do it again.

anyway...

you can post samples in the mixshare forums and qualia will key them for you. and the program is preety acurate. key them with the prog and if you then work it with your ears. if you re still not sure... post a sample in mixshare.

I guess you are right. I don't like the idea that a program can actually do that accurately. But well, I sure have to take some time getting my ears experienced!

Thanks!

ive been telling this to my self since forever... still i cant key a song with a gun in my face.

I know what you mean...

I can find the key, but determining major and minor is a bit tough. I'm using the mixshare program to point me in the right direction and just play with the piano till it sounds right.

I still get somewhat sour mixes every now and again, so I definitely need to improve.
