His point was that you can prepare for you mix if you have the key written on the sleeve of your tunes, meaning swifter choice of keyed tune selection.
Wether you do it using software or your ears is, frankly, no one elses business but your own!
Personal choice. Therefore pointless discussion.

I don't care if you're using software or not. What I do care about, though, is spam. Which is what this thread is.

Oh god not this useless argument again so i guess marcus shultz, armin, blah bla blah are tone def as well since they tag their cd's with keys and bpm's. Why waste precious time "keying" with your ears when you can know instantly by looking down at your cd's.
yea they may be tone def for all we know. if they need the extra help by tagging cds then so be it. i personally don't need to. i key by ear in seconds.
my point was not about tagging cds starkid. my point was that a good dj with a good ear doesn't need software to key tracks for them.
oh btw good djs like digweed, lawler and tenaglia don't put the key on their tracks. to each their own.

Ok, i will give you a list of tracks with samples. I would like you to have a listen, and determine their keys with your ears alone.. shouldn't be a problem for you, you key by your ears in seconds.

you don't understand what i'm saying.
for instance. a dj should be able to play a track and then throw on any other track in their box a tell whether the mix is in key. they may not know what key but just that it is in key.
as for me. i know my tracks well enough to play a track and pick out the next track in seconds because i know it will be in key based on memeory.
and yes i can key in seconds. i have perfect pitch. although i don't use it for djing.

I know exactly what your saying, you cue up and think you know if the keys are compatable or not... ive heard it all before, and usually those are the types that give out promos which make your ears bleed.. but they are PIMPS! cuz they don't need to key their stuff yo.

Hooj, you're one of the lucky few who has perfect pitch. Most people don't have that ability.
For example, when I was keying tunes manually, I had my dad helping me out. It was faster for one person to play the piano and for another person to write down the results.

wow what an idiot.
now you claim that any dj that can key by ear is shit.
whatever. i guess 18 years of playing music, 7 years of djing and current shows in LA and Hollywood plus a residency is nothing.
its all good man. i know you may not like the fact that you have to try so hard to key tunes, but don't hate on us that can do it off the bat.
i'm sorry for having good ears.
done
