Hi everybody
I read the thread, this is ing amazing and i now want to work on key mixing.
I have three questions.
1 : My track is CM at pitch 0; if i increase the pitch by 4%, i know i won't be on the following key ( C#M) cause the pitch is less than 5%.
But am i still on CM with the increase of 4%, or is it a GM ( CM= 6a, GM =7a)?
I guess it's still a CM but i am not sure .
2:If my first track is CM, and the incoming track is CM too, but has to be pitch up because of a slower BPM, until where can i pitch it and still be in key mixing ? 3% ? 4%? 6%? I guess if there is a semi tone change it will sound bad?
So, until where can i pitch the incoming track?
3: Cm to C#M lift the mix ( +7); so C#M to CM ( -7) slow down the mix right ?
Thanks !!! |

1: It's not Cm nor Gm. If you increase the Pitch by 6 % it will be C#m (A semi-tone difference in camelot it's represented by +7, and -7).
Now if you have a song at Cm at Pitch 0, and you increase it by 4%, that's going to be somewhere between Cm and C#m, but it will be near C#m, so I would better consider it at C#m rather than Cm.
Think like this,
Bm(-6%)---(-5%)---(-4%)---(-3%)---(-2%)---(-1%)---Cm(0%)---(+1%)---(+2%)---(+3%)---(+4%)---(+5%)---C#m(+6%)
2:I wouldn't go over 3%, and if you have MAster Tempo you can use it, and you can change the tempo without changing the Key.
3:Correct. Just pay atention to your songs, song might be in key but it will not always sound good, and you might bring (+7) mixes, but they will not always increase the energy.

| I cant even think about not using key lock or master tempo it just complicates things too much. If i want to play harmonically I either stay with the 2.5-3% range or use key lock or both.:) |

I have found that master tempo on the CDJ1000 can actualy be quite handy and does open up quite a few mixing options.

No, when you see numbers like that next to the note it usually is refering to the octave that the note is in. In this instance you would find this towards the far left of the key board so it's quite a bassey sound.
