attention all djs, i have a program for you!
"rapid evolution" is a program that helps categorize your music into styles. furthermore, it helps automatically determine valuable mixing properties about your songs (such as bpm, key, time signature, track length, your comments, etc). then, if you run it while your mixing, you can instantly see which songs are harmonically compatible, within mixable range, and in the same styles. when you find a mix between 2 songs that sounds good, you can save it with your own comments and a rank. then, reference this information later while you mix or automatically generate entire mix sets! furthermore, server code is under development which will allow users to share song information and mixes between songs with other djs around the world (probably within a month or two)...
enough said, please go check it out, it's free, at [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
there's a discussion board there so please feel free to post your suggestions/comments. this will soon ve a valuable asset to the entire dj community!

| the key detection function doesn't seem to work at all? :conf: |

first off, cool
secondly, i actully had an idea to make something similar to this... but just a song selection thing. like, you list all ur vinyl, and all the songs, and what mixes into what, and you could check it in real-time as you mix to help plan your set. but not like this. this claims to do much more for you, and help you in the vinyl selectin process |

| well.. this program will only work if your mp3's are exact rips from vinyls rather than rips from sets or otherwise. cuz.... the bpms and pitch could vary depending where the mp3 is from. |

well the key detection should work, so i'm not sure what you're doing. you can detect the key of an mp3 or wav, or detect from live audio input. if you do live audio input, make sure the recording properties on your sound card are set to an input that will catch what you're listening to.
and tranceinchink, you're right, it's best to have the original song, and not a mixed version. it doesn't matter if you actually have a digital copy or vinyl only though. i would think most djs mix from original songs, not other mixes. if you do have a long song that changes in key or bpm, you can enter different ending bpms ands keys depending on where you want to mix out, and even create multiple entries for a single for different places you'd want to mixin/mixout...
anyway, if you have any more ideas or feadback, please go post on my discussion board, thanks! |

| How reliable is the key detection? I'm gonna try it out and compare with mixmeister. |

hi barron,
i too am aware that mixmeister is pretty much the only other program that detects keys. i call tell from my honest comparison that they use different algorithms, because there are times when mixmeister gets it wrong and my program does, and vice versa. another thing about mixmiester is that it does not distinguish between major/minor keys at all. however, my program does this quite well. i trust my program's keys more than mixmeister, but as with any automatically generated statistic, i verify it manually to be sure. that's why my program has a built in keyboard, and it's super easy to load it right afteward and do a quick check (play a few chords in that key, you'll know instantly ...)
that's my observations, please feel free to provide your own. again, i'm always looking for feedback. come visit my new website and share what you find, [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
