i'll just post this here too:
there used to be some sort of database about tunes that go well with others on the web somewhere, but i can't find it anymore. anyone got a link to it?
:conf: :conf: :conf:
i'd need to get from
lyric & n atali - over emotion (smart system souvenir mix)
or
little wonder - exlipse (fictivision & c-quence remix)
to
airwave - when things go wrong (original)
as short and good sounding as possible, but i don't seem to be able to pull it off no matter what tunes i try with!:whip:
and what's the difference between
F#m and Fm?
other one's major and other one's minor or what? if so which is which?
(couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread, as it's so huge) |

| ^^^ F#m is F-sharp major, Fm is F major. The difference is a F-sharp is a half step higher in pitch. |

well now i read the whole topic and all i have to say is:
:eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop:
i will definitely be looking much more into this! thanks guys. dunno how i'll go about keying my own tracks as i have no musical background whatsoever and i suck as a dj in every aspect too, but one can always try and you gotta start somewhere.
this thread got me so excited that i feel like going mixing straight away, altho it's the middle of the night and my girlfriend is sleeping in our bedroom (where my dj gear is naturally):tongue2
maybe i can wait till tomorrow! |

WOOOOOWWW! Hold on a minute Zild!!!!!
F#m IS F# MINOR NOT MAJOR, it would be just F# for a major!!!!
Similarly Fm is F minor!!!
99% of trance is in minor keys. |

I agree: 99% of trance is probably in minor keys, as is perhaps 95% of all dance music since the 1980s. Major keys are still popular in R&R and other pop music styles.
Also: Qualia's collaborative database on mixshare.com contains key information on the most tracks. Our subscription database only contains info on 50,000 tracks. |

Right now I can only figure out wether it's a C,C#,D,D#, E etc... but I have no clue if it's in major or minor :conf: |

My bad, I always wrote it as Fmaj. I guess thats why they made me play the quads in middle school band. No big deal. |

major - W, W, H, W, W, W, H

Common major and minor chords use the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of the scale
[...]
major - W+W, W+H
minor - W+H, W+W

Just wondering if you made a typo here. You say that major/minor chords use the 1st 3rd & 5th note of the scale. Shouldn't major chords be "W+W, H+W" ? :conf:
Anyway I've read through your tutorial, very interesting :)
So I gave it a shot, trying to figure out wether a track is major/minor:
Electric Universe - Morning Star (SAMPLE)
Tonic note: G
Major or minor?
Minor: Trying G+A#+D (Sounds good)
Major: Trying G+B+D
Conclusion:
Assuming the chords you mentioned in your tutorial are correct, it's a Gm !
Very helpful tutorial qualia :)
EDIT: I wrote a wrong major key! |
