Um, no.
The DJM doesn't take each song you have and key them for you. |

I meant that it's the only mixer where you can actually change the key of the song...
No? |

maybe there's some kind of transposition...you know you can set something like hmmm
"Current key + two"
so if current key is A Minor then it takes A and goes Ais and then B...so the result is B Minor then...
got it?
for transposing it doesn't even have to know what key it currently is...
...btw...this is just my guess so don't jump at me if I'm not right :) |

Dear Simms327,
I am actually an official Microsoft Partner in my day job, so I'm afraid I don't have the technical knowledge on how to program for the Mac OSX. For now, the program is Windows only (it works with both Windows XP and Windows 2000).
Also, here are some Frequently Asked Questions from the forums:
1. What does Mixed In Key do if, say a track ends up halfway between a and b flat, does it "snap" it to the nearest key?
Mixed In Key works by finding the most common key in a song. For example, if 80% of the song is A-minor and 20% is C-major (relative major key), Mixed In Key will report the overall key as A-minor.
However, if you were asking about what happens when the song is out-of-key, I have a different answer for you. For example, if the song is between A and B-Flat, Mixed In Key will say that the song is out-of-key. The algorithm does this now, but we're going through some growing pains and this information not yet shown in the results panel. However, you can see that this feature exists by looking at the XML file. This file can be viewed with Internet Explorer or Notepad. We've had several requests for this feature and it will be added in a future update. Mixed In Key can automatically detect when a new version is available and update the software (while keeping your existing Key Collection intact). In fact, if you ever choose to uninstall this software, you will not lose your Key Collection.
2. Could you just queue loads of files and analyze them all at once?
Yes, this was the main purpose of the application. You can add as many WAV and MP3 files as you like. You can also queue entire Folders with one click. For example, I selected my C:\Music\ folder at lunchtime and came back two hours later. Mixed In Key processed 600 songs in various subfolders (I usually organize my collection by time of purchase and key)
3. What if a tune changes key halfway through the song? Does Mixed In Key give you the keys throughout the duration of the tune?
Mixed In Key can detect the best key for different parts of the song. For example, my personal favorite is 3 parts -- Beginning, Middle and End of the song. This really helps me with scenarios where the key changes after the break. However, the default installation is configured to analyze the entire song and display one key. We can easily change this in a free update, we're currently working on the best way to display N-number of keys for every song. Our application design is very clean, and we like to keep it that way. There is no need for clutter -- Mixed In Key does one job, and it does it very well. |

Don't suppose the algorithm is open?
How bout this ( and this is my trademarked copyrighted and patented idea ).
What I'd like is a program that generates track sheets for you. say I want 8 tracks on a cd, i'd dump the 8 files I want in the program, and it generates a tracklist with bpm key and duration ready for printing.
Shouldn't be too hard to implement. the bpm doesnt have to be accurate to more than a single decimal since it would be just for reference.
Now that I might be persuaded to pay $50 for. |

And then there is this program that can ID the key of song for FREE

yes, it's called rapid evolution. though it's known for being rather inaccurate. most software programs are. i'd be curious to give this one a shot and see if it's any better. let us know if you make a trial version available. |

I took these screenshots of Mixed In Key today. You can click on thumbnails to enlarge them and see more detail.

This is the basic interface of Mixed In Key. |

i don't really understand how a computer is able to pick out what key a track is in (assuming the artist actually intended to record in key) when there are many different elements to the track such as high hats and kick drum, which if they are samples, will not be tuned to be in any particular key.
Software can not be 100% accurate imo.
Too late for me anyway as I've just finished all my tunes tonight. It didn't take too long to work out how to do it, and now I find it quite easy.
I would say tho that if the software is fool proof, it would be useful fo someone who can't be bothered learning. Personally I'd rather by more tunes. And I use a mac... |
