The best thing about harmonic mixing is, if no song just jumps out at you... with some basic knowledge about the song, and you know its (one of) the correct key(s) then its a lot less likely to sound terrible. |

A number of these DJs use Mixed In Key software both publicly and privately (check http://www.MixedInKey.com/Reviews.aspx).
Armin gave an unusual quote once:
"Some (DJs) focus on the bull in the dance music industry and should really just focus on the music and focus on mixing in key," he grumbled to One Week To Live, "You know, some of my colleagues do not give a damn about mixing in keys and bpms and I think that's absolutely repulsive," he added.
I don't think it's in his character to be negative (the journalist probably caught him on a bad day), but Armin has always been a big supporter of harmonic mixing. All his ASOT shows are harmonic.
As far as the other DJs go, it's pretty easy to tell who mixes harmonically -- there are no key clashes in their DJ sets. |

If you are interested in Harmonic Mixing, I would suggest checking it out. It isn't too expensive, and will save you a lot of time.
I bought version 3 back in August. I have been very happy with it. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade to version 4 though. |

| There are other programs out there that will key your tunes for free if u know where to look, and no I don't mean piracy. Those of u not keying must play minimal so yea no wonder why u don't key. Key clashing on a big system with tunes that have elements is horrid and embarrassing. |

There is Rapid Evolution, which is free.
Not to discredit it, but i found it to be a lot less intuitive when compared to MiK. |

Yeah. And it's pretty unstable. |
