Harmonic Mixing Intervals

When mixing harmonically using the Camelot notation system, harmonic mixes include going from nA -> nB, or nA -> (n+1)A or (n-1)A.
What other intervals are known to be 'acceptable'? I've seen a passing reference to something like +7 or so, but my music theory is too rusty to understand why this is.
I'm more interested in the intervals (+1, +7, etc.) that sound harmonic, but if anyone wishes to share some enlightenment on the music theory aspect, it is welcome as well. |

my personal opionion is learn to trust your ears over any harmonics system...even if you dont know music theory as a dj your ears can tell you if the mix will work or not. but to answer your question you can also do half-steps up or down in key which kind of changes the sound but if done with the right tracks can lift the air in the crowd quite a bit.
i think in the camelot system its a modulation mix?? |

| I agree. I tried to mixing harmonically (labeled all my tracks!!) and found no difference because I do it without even realising. Your ears always know better ;) |

Thanks for all the input. I understand that your own perceptions (through your ears) are always the best determining factor, but I still wanted to know the intervals that are known to not collide.
I suppose a better phrasing of the question would be to to find the intervals that don't work.
Small steps at first, then work from there. =) |
