Keyed tunes for Harmonic mixers (pg. 79)

I recently bought my first batch of tunes from beatport(going 100 percent legit), and I keyed them with an ableton loop playing a minor chord followed by the root note and id tap it the same speed of the track while the track is playing on my comp. Then Id use the transpose function to move it up until ive increased by 12 semitones.and I settle with what sounds most pleasing.This method is really chillaxed, just sit there and press up and down(Im lazy I know, I should change haha) I think there were a few that needed major chords, But Im too noob to find those yet. Anyways...here are the tunes, sorry for the poor labeling I was rushed.Help would be greatly appreciated, I have a best campus dj competition next week, and its 30 min slot so Im thinking real quick mixes, harmonics will blow the roof off..(Im a frosh, so winning the competition would mean alot, I get 200 cash and a residence.)!!!!!Im really excited for this.I digress, here are the choons.-Oh, and I manually tapped the bpms on ableton so they are not 100 percent accurate, its to give myself a rough idea.Oh and Nem, I played with these keys at this house party with strobes and lights, the night started off slow(closed mind to house, people seemd to crave hip hop)....But as the harmonics started, I felt this rush Ive never felt before, when people chanted my name, It made me realize this is what I want to do in this life, I dont want to waste anymore time. Before harmonics seemed so Intimidating, but Nem, honestly without ur supreme online guidance I probably would have thrown in the towel.Sorry for the overdramatic noob speech!

Don't tap the BPM of your tracks, they are wrong.
I could check these songs beacuse I got them.
About Megashira, I'm not Really sure if it's 8A (Am) or 7A (Dm), but you seem to be right with detecting the keys.
get Mixmeister, it will give you the BPM of your tracks correctly 99% accuracy, and it will also try to calculate they key of your tracks.
You just need to download the demo, it will analyze the BPM and Key for you, but don't trust 100% on their key detection, you will get better if you do it by ear, that way you will keep training your ear =)
Good Luck

hey everybody!
it's been a while since i've posted. i'm so happy this thread is still alive and thriving. there is so much information buried in these pages :-)
fyi--i've thrown together a wiki on the mixshare site for harmonic mixing:
[[ LINK REMOVED ]]
for those who don't know, a wiki is a set of pages that can be edited/added to by anybody.
i've tried to add all of the relevant info on harmonic mixing (from places like this thread and harmonic-mixing.com) into the wiki. it can become a good central place for people to read about and add music theory knowledge, and will be much more organized that going through 70+ forum pages ;-) i'd love it if some of the people here (especially nem!) would contribute ;-)
anyway, it should be helpful for people new to harminic mixing especially... |

quick clarification needed from all the harmonic mixers out there...
let's say i have a track that is in Eb minor... and i want to move it to F minor...
i would transpose it up 2 semi-tones yes?
also i was just thinking about it...and wanted to clarify. if i have a tune that is in a minor key...i won't be able to transpose it to a major key correct? |

These are the order of the keys
B--Bb--A--Ab--G--Gb--F--E--Eb--D--Db--C
so yes; you would be transposing it by 2 semi-tones.

I'm not sure if this is possible |

thanks for the response. yeah i figured my thinking was right on both, but wanted to double check.
as for that second question...i don't think it's possible either...simply because the way the notes are laid out in major/minor keys...but just thought i'd throw it out there. |
