This is something I always stumble on.
Say for example I want to do a remix of a song, and I have the vocal, and I have no idea what key the vocal is in, what is the best way for me to determine the key of the vocal so I can get the rest of my song in key to the vocal ? |

Try Mixed In Key. That might work. it'll analyze the acapella and then assign a value which will correspond with whatever root key your vocal is in.
EDIT:
Yea, I just tried it and it worked fine. |

That was a response to mathieu.
I cant find a demo of Mixed In Key, and im not paying for it before trying it. |

The other way is to do it the way musicians have for centuries - use your ears. Loop it in your DAW and play along with it until you figure it out. It's not that hard to do and it will probably improve your ear training, ability to identify intervals, etc. |

try googleing it if you can not do it by ear.
i normally load a synth that emulates a whistle and then i whistle the tune until i get it.
also beatport lists the key of each song when you preview them. |

| Doesn't mixmeister bpm [besides calculating the BPM] give the key as well? |

Naw, the beauty of letting software do all of our thinking for us is that it leaves us more time to complain about how terrible EDM music has become. :p |
